•The lathe is a machine tool used principally for shaping articles of metal (and sometimes wood or other materials) by causing the workpiece to be held and rotated by the lathe while a tool bit is advanced into the work causing the cutting action.

•are large lathe and is usually floor mounted. It can handle more machining jobs

are usually used in production or job shops for mass production and specialized parts.

•is the foundation of the working parts of the lathe to another

is located on the operator’s left end of the lathe bed. 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

•is mounted on bearings in the headstock and is hardened and specially ground to fit different lathe holding devices. The spindle has a hole through its entire length to accommodate long workplaces

may be inserted into the spindle

may be screwed onto the spindle or clamped onto the spindle nose.

•is located on the opposite end of the lathe from the headstock. It supports one end of the work when machining between centers, supports long pieces held in the chuck, and holds various forms of cutting tools, such as drills, reamers, and taps.

•includes the apron, saddle, compound rest, cross slide, tool post, and the cutting tool. The function of the carriage is to carry and move the cutting tool.

carries the cross slide and the compound rest. The cross slide is mounted on the dovetail ways on the top of the saddle and is moved back and forth at 90° to the axis of the lathe by the cross slide lead screw

is mounted on the cross slide and can be swiveled and clamped at any angle in a horizontal plane. The compound rest is used extensively in cutting steep tapers and angles for lathe centers

are secured in the tool post which is mounted directly to the compound rest

•contains the gears and feed clutches which transmit motion from the feed rod or lead screw to the carriage and cross slide

has a radius ground onto the nose of the tool bit that is smaller than the radius for a finishing or general purpose tool bit

bit is shaped to be fed from right to left. The cutting edge is on the left side of the tool bit and the face slopes down away from the cutting edge

bit is the opposite of the right-hand designed to cut when fed from left to right

bit is very versatile and can be used to turn in either direction for roughing and finishing cuts.

 machining the ends and shoulders of a piece of stock smooth, flat, and perpendicular to the lathe axis

sometimes called cylindrical turning, is the process of reducing the work diameter to a specific dimension as the carriage moves the tool along the work

•are machined to add strength for parts that are to be fitted together, make a corner, or improve the appearance of a part. The three common shoulders are the square, the filleted, and the angular shoulder

•are turned on the edges of work to b

• and to add to the general appearance of the work. Common types of corners are chamfered, rounded, and square

are the reductions in diameter machined onto the center portion of workplaces to lighten the piece or to reduce an area of the part for special reasons, such as holding an oil seal ring

(or necking) is the process of turning a groove or furrow on a cylinder, shaft, or workpiece. The shape of the tool and the depth to which it is fed into the work govern the shape and size of the groove. The types of grooves most commonly used are square, round, and V-shaped

•Form turning is the process of machining radii and these irregular shapes.

•When the diameter of a piece changes uniformly from one end to the other, the piece is said to be tapered. Taper turning as a machining operation is the gradual reduction in diameter from one part of a cylindrical workpiece to another part, Tapers can be either external or internal

•A thread is a uniform helical groove cut inside of a cylindrical workpiece, or on the outside of a tube or shaft.

•Knurling is a process of impressing a diamond shaped or straight line pattern into the surface of a workpiece. The diamond is the most common pattern and the medium specially shaped hardened metal wheels to improve its pitch is used most often. The coarse pitch is used for large appearance and to provide a better gripping surface.

•holes will need to be drilled using the lathe before other internal operations can be completed, such as boring, reaming, and tapping. Before drilling the end of a workpiece on the lathe, the end to be drilled must be spotted (center- punched) and then center- drilled so that the drill will start properly and be correctly aligned.

•Boring is the enlarging and truing of a hole by removing material from internal surfaces with a single-point cutter bit

•Recessing, sometimes called channeling or cambering, is the process of cutting a groove inside of a drilled, bored, or reamed hole. Recesses are usually machined to provide room for the tool run out needed for subsequent operations such as internal threading
