Lathes; for removing metal, horizontal, other than numerically controlled

hs code 845819 covers a critical segment of the metalworking machinery industry - horizontal lathes used for removing metal, excluding those that are numerically controlled. These machines play a vital role in the manufacturing of a wide range of metal components and parts across various industries, from automotive to aerospace. Their ability to precisely shape and finish metal workpieces makes them an indispensable tool in the production of high-quality, complex metal products that are essential to the global economy.

Horizontal lathes described under hs code 845819 utilize a range of cutting tools and techniques to remove material from a rotating metal workpiece. The workpiece is securely held in place while the cutting tool, guided by the machine's controls, removes material in a precise and controlled manner. This allows for the creation of intricate shapes, threads, and finishes on the metal components. The use of advanced features such as variable speed controls and automated tool changes further enhances the efficiency and precision of these machines.

The key inputs required for the production of horizontal lathes under hs code 845819 include high-quality steel and other metal alloys for the construction of the machine's components, as well as specialized cutting tools, bearings, and other precision parts. Additionally, these machines require a reliable power source, such as electric motors, and advanced control systems to ensure precise operation. The manufacturing of these lathes also relies on skilled technicians and engineers to design, assemble, and maintain the equipment.

Horizontal lathes classified under hs code 845819 are used to produce a wide range of metal components and parts that are consumed by various industries, including 848410 Machinery parts, not containing electrical connectors, insulators, coils, contacts or other electrical features, 848490 Parts and accessories suitable for use solely or principally with the machinery of headings 84.25 to 84.30, and 848180 Taps, cocks, valves and similar appliances for pipes, boiler shells, tanks, vats or the like, including pressure-reducing valves and thermostatically controlled valves. These metal parts and components are essential for the manufacturing of a diverse range of products, from industrial machinery to consumer goods.
