When products are wanted that require tight tolerances, a swiss lathe is often used at Stegg. A swiss lathe holds the workpiece with a collet or a guide bushing. The collet holds the workpiece firmly in place. The guide bushing directs workpiece orientation. The collet is behind the guide bushing. The tool is in front of the guide bushing, stationary on an axis. This rigid configuration allows for extreme precision operation.

Stegg's series of precision swiss lathes allow our facility to manufacture elaborate turned parts available with additional complex operations programmed to meet product requirements. These machines are very efficient. The swiss lathes are capable of short cycle times. Stegg's swiss lathes are idea for production of intricate small parts.
