What Is Swiss Screw Machining?

Swiss screw machining is a specialized form of precision turning, originally developed for manufacturing watch parts in Switzerland. Today, it is the gold standard for producing complex, high-precision parts with unmatched accuracy and efficiency. Unlike traditional lathes, Swiss-type screw machines use a sliding headstock and guide bushing system that supports the workpiece very close to the cutting tools. This reduces deflection, allowing for extreme precision and the ability to machine long, slender, and intricate parts with tight tolerances.
