On a single column vertical lathe critical operations occur mainly in turning higher workpieces.

OBS

The above context was taken from a source written by a non-native speaker of English.

OBS

single-housing vertical boring machine: A "vertical boring mill" was originally a machine with one or two ram-type heads, while a "vertical turret lathe" was a machine with a vertical, turret-type head ... Modern machines frequently combine the two types of heads ... Consequently all machines of this type are now generally called vertical boring machines.

OBS

single-housing vertical boring machine: Both vertical turret lathes and vertical boring mills are used to machine blanks of large weight and diameter and relatively small height ... The single-housing, or column, models ... are usually vertical turret lathes ...

OBS

single-housing vertical boring machine: The above contexts are used to support both "single-housing vertical boring machine" and "single-column vertical boring machine".

CONT

The second case [in our testing of the stability of vertical lathes] is that of a double column vertical lathe with 100 in table diameter. The first test was the comparison of stability of the machine with anti-friction bearing of the table with that of the same machine with hydrostatic bearing.

double-housing vertical boring machine: A "vertical boring mill" was originally a machine with one or two ram-type heads, while a "vertical turret lathe" was a machine with a vertical, turret-type head ...

OBS

double-housing vertical boring machine: Both vertical turret lathes and vertical boring mills are used to machine blanks of large weight and diameter and relative small height ... In construction arrangement these machines can be classified as single- and double-housing types.

OBS

double-housing vertical boring machine: "Double-column vertical boring machine" is also possible, though its occurrence as such was unconfirmed in the course of research.
