Can presence figure wheel lathe can be used for the recent wheel lather which can process without separating the wheels from the cart?

Or under floor wheel lathe is better?

Thank you.

Both are not source language. I have not any graphic or photo on this machine.
Thayenga Apr 24, 2011:
Which is the source language?
Are there any graphics or photos in the text?
Mitsuko Yoshida (asker) Apr 24, 2011:
No. This is for repairing a wheel.
Thank you!
Thayenga Apr 24, 2011:
Is this dealing with resetting/adjusting the wheel lathe?
Mitsuko Yoshida (asker) Apr 24, 2011:
There is no context. I am sorry. There is no context.
Thayenga Apr 24, 2011:
More Context, please. Could you please provide more context?
And I'm having difficulties grasping this "presence".
Thank you. :)

under floor wheel lather

The term "under floor wheel lathe" seems to be common English translation for such a repair operation for railroad cars, and it is understandable to a native English speaker.

"prescence figure wheel lathe" does not make sense to me.

HERE ARE SOME EXAMPLES:

FROM A MANUFACTURER IN INDIA

I made a typographical error in my answer, I did not mean to type lather, I meant to type lathe.
