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

HS v2022 Code: 845899

About lathes; for removing metal, other than horizontal or numerically controlled lathes

HS code 845899 covers a range of metal-working lathes used for removing material from metal workpieces. These lathes play a crucial role in the manufacturing industry, enabling the production of precision components and parts across a variety of sectors, including automotive, aerospace, and general engineering. As a key enabler of industrial production, the metal-working lathe industry is an important contributor to the broader economy.

Production process

Metal-working lathes covered under HS code 845899 utilize a range of production techniques to remove material from workpieces. The workpiece is typically mounted on a rotating spindle, and a cutting tool is moved along the workpiece to shape it as desired. This can involve turning, facing, boring, threading, and other machining operations. The lathes may be manually operated or feature automated controls to enhance precision and efficiency.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of metal-working lathes under HS code 845899 include high-quality steel and other metal alloys for the lathe components, as well as specialized cutting tools, bearings, and other mechanical parts. Additionally, the industry relies on advanced manufacturing equipment, such as CNC (Computer Numerical Control) systems, to ensure the precise and consistent production of these lathes.

Production outputs

The primary output of the industry covered by HS code 845899 is the metal-working lathes themselves. These lathes are then consumed by a wide range of manufacturing industries, including 845811 Horizontal lathes, 845891 Numerically controlled lathes, and other metal-working machinery classified under HS chapter 84.
