We carry used vertical turning lathes sourced from quality manufacturers, and our inventory is available to browse directly on this page so you can review what is currently in stock without having to make a single phone call.
Vertical turning lathes are a different beast from your standard horizontal turning setup. Because the workpiece sits on a rotating table with the spindle axis oriented vertically, they are particularly well suited for large, heavy, and short parts that would be awkward or unsafe to chuck in a horizontal lathe. Flanges, rings, large diameter discs, gear blanks, and heavy housings are the kinds of parts that vertical turning lathes handle with ease. The vertical orientation also means gravity is working with you rather than against you, which reduces the strain on spindle bearings and makes for more stable cutting conditions on heavy workpieces.
Our current listings include machines from Schiess and Pietro Carnaghi, two manufacturers with solid reputations in heavy machining. The Pietro Carnaghi AC 25 CNC vertical turning lathe on this page is a capable machine for shops that need CNC control on large diameter work. Both listings include specifications so you can assess whether the swing, table diameter, and travel suit your requirements before reaching out.
Vertical turning lathes are specialist machines, and finding a good used one at a fair price takes some looking. Buying through Gizmo Machine Tools means you are dealing with a team that knows the equipment and can answer real questions about what you are getting.
We are based in Mississauga, Ontario, and serve buyers from across Canada. Contact us to learn more about either machine currently listed or to discuss what else may be coming into our inventory soon.
