This is a lathe where the operator moves and changes the tool manually.  It is very useful for making parts with complex shapes that are difficult to program, indi vidual parts, and trial products that require fine tuning.                               

Face lathes are horizontal lathes used in machining large materials.  Its feature is to prevent precision degradation due to chips, because chips do not accumulate and can be dropped.  Continuous and efficient operation is possible because there is no need to remove chips. 

A vertical lathe is a lathe that moves the tool vertically and is used for processing large materials.  It can reduce the deviation caused by center of gravity and centrifugal force, and achieve high machining accuracy.
