Subheadings
Products classified under HTS 8458.99.50
Custom Multi-Spindle Lathe
Gang-tool multi-spindle lathe for simultaneous metal turning on small parts. HTS 8458.99.50 as other specialized lathe config. For high-speed production.
CNC Horizontal Turning Center
A computer numerical control (CNC) lathe designed for precision metal removal in high-volume manufacturing, featuring multiple axes and automatic tool changers. It falls under HTS 8458.99.50 as an other lathe for removing metal, not classified as threading, gear-cutting, numerically controlled, or toolroom types. Used widely in automotive and aerospace parts production.
Manual Engine Lathe
A traditional benchtop or floor-standing manual lathe for turning cylindrical metal parts, equipped with a leadscrew for threading but not specialized for gears. Classified in HTS 8458.99.50 as other lathes for metal removal, excluding numerical control or specific function types. Common in repair shops and small-scale fabrication.
Turret Lathe with Quick-Change Tooling
A semi-automatic turret lathe for repetitive metal turning operations, featuring a rotating turret for multiple tools but without full CNC. It is included in HTS 8458.99.50 as other lathes not specified elsewhere in the heading. Ideal for medium production runs in general machining.
Precision Gap-Bed Lathe
A lathe with a removable bed section for machining large-diameter metal parts, used in maintenance and custom fabrication. Falls under HTS 8458.99.50 as other metal-removing lathes without special features like numerical control. Popular for oversized workpieces in industrial repair.
Copying Lathe for Duplicate Parts
A lathe using templates or tracers to duplicate metal profiles automatically, for low-volume replication tasks. Classified in HTS 8458.99.50 as other lathes for metal removal, not numerical control. Used in pattern making and restoration work.
Heavy-Duty Oil Country Lathe
Robust lathe for turning large oilfield pipes and tubing, with extended bed lengths for heavy metal stock. Under HTS 8458.99.50 as other lathes excluding specialized types. Essential for energy sector pipe machining.
Benchtop Mini Lathe for Hobbyists
Compact manual lathe for small metal parts in prototyping and hobby use, with variable speed drive. HTS 8458.99.50 covers it as other small lathes for metal removal. Suited for model engineering and education.
Swivel-Head Vertical Lathe
Vertical spindle lathe with swivel head for angled metal turning on large rings and flanges. Included in HTS 8458.99.50 as other non-horizontal, non-NC lathes. Used for heavy rotating parts in shipbuilding.
Brake Lathe for Automotive Rotors
Specialized on-car or bench lathe for resurfacing brake drums and rotors by metal removal. HTS 8458.99.50 as other lathes designed for specific metalworking. Critical for auto repair shops.
