It contains the main spindle and oil reservoir and the gearing mechanism for obtaining various spindle speeds and for transmitting power to the feeding and threading mechanism. The headstock is located on the operator's left end of the lathe bed.

The headstock mechanism is driven by an electric motor connected either to a belt or pulley system or to a geared system.
The main spindle is mounted on bearings in the headstock and is hardened and specially ground to fit different lathe holding devices. The spindle has a standard Morse taper which varies with the size of the spindle usually has a very slight lead in. Because the reamer and work piece are pre-aligned by the machine ensures that it starts cutting immediately.
Spiral flutes have the advantage of clearing the swarf automatically but are also available with straight flutes as the amount of swarf generated during a reaming operation should be very small. The headstock mechanism is driven by an electric motor connected
