The Evolution and Excellence of Swiss Turning

Swiss turning, a unique and specialized process in the world of machining, boasts a rich history and technological advancements that make it a go-to for high precision turned parts. Let’s take a deeper dive into this remarkable technique and understand why it is so widely revered.

A Journey Through Time

Swiss turning traces its roots back to the 19th century in Switzerland. At the time, there was a growing demand for miniature screws to support the thriving watch industry. To cater to this demand, the Swiss Screw machine, known by various names such as the Swiss Lathe, Swiss Automatic, and Sliding Headstock Lathe, was developed. This ingenious invention far surpassed the precision of the traditional “fixed headstock” lathes, particularly for minuscule parts. Read More
