A Lathe is a very
ancient tool and its first use dates back to 1300
BC in Egypt. Lathes were also known and used in Assyria and Greece. Ancient Romans came to know about this machine and they further developed this machine. During the medieval period, the use of this machine had spread to most parts of Europe and it was during the Industrial revolution when this machine gained popularity with its use in all the industries. After the development of electronics, automated lathes have been developed, and you will be reassured to know that Rennie Engineering are at the forefront of this technology, deploying the most sophisticated equipment on the market today. Here is an example of our current capability.
