A Lathe Eyelet generally refers to an eyelet or metal component manufactured using lathe machining (turning) rather than the common stamping (pressing) process. Simply put, it represents a high-precision, high-quality eyelet or metal fitting.

Materials:Brass :Excellent machinability (cutting), beautiful finish for polishing and plating-Medium Strength.

Applicable Finishes (Post-Processing):Finishes applied to Lathe Eyelets typically include high-standard processes to complement their precision: Electroplating、PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition)、Stainless Steel Passivation (for maximum corrosion resistance)、Aluminum Anodizing、E-coat (Electrophoretic Coating)

Key Characteristics

• Superior Precision and Tolerance Stability: Lathe machining achieves extremely high dimensional accuracy and consistency. This is crucial for the smooth function of functional eyelets (like speed/guiding types) and the sealing integrity of waterproof modules.
• Excellent Surface Finish: Because the part is formed by rotating and cutting, the surface of a lathe part is typically very smooth with rounded edges (R-corners). This makes it ideal for high-standard finishes like polishing and brushing, preventing abrasion or damage to the shoelace or upper material.
• Greater Flexibility in Material and Thickness: Lathe machining can handle thicker or harder materials . It can also create a solid feel or complex structural details (like precise R-corners, threading, or specific grooves) that are difficult to achieve with stamping.
