    A lathe is a machine that rotates a workpiece while a non-rotating cutting tool shapes it, typically producing round or helical forms. Key components include the headstock, tailstock, carriage, and critical parameters like speed and feed. Various operations such as turning, threading, and drilling can be performed on a lathe to achieve different shapes and finishes.

    Lathe
    • A lathe is a large machine that rotates the workpice, and
    cutting is done with a non-rotating cutting tool. The shapes
    cut are generally round, or helical. The tool is typically
    moved parallel to the axis of rotation during cutting.
    • head stock - this end of the lathe contains the driving
    motor and gears. Power to rotate the part is delivered from
    here. This typically has levers that let the speeds and feeds
    be set.
    • ways - these are hardened rails that the carriage rides on.
    • tail stock - this can be used to hold the other end of the
    part.
    Lathe
    • Bed - this is a bottom pan on the lathe that catches chips,
    cutting fluids, etc.
    • carriage - this part of the lathe carries the cutting tool and
    moves based on the rotation of the lead screw or rod.
    • Lead screw - A large screw with a few threads per inch used
    for cutting threads.
    • Lead rod - a rod with a shaft down the side used for driving
    normal cutting feeds.
    • The critical parameters on the lathe are speed of rotation
    (speed in RPM) and how far the tool moves across the work
    for each rotation (feed in IPR)
    General classifications used when describing lathes
    • Swing - the largest diameter of work that can be rotated.
    • Distance Between Centers - the longest length of
    workpiece
    • Length of Bed - Related to the Distance Between Centers
    • Power - The range of speeds and feeds, and the
    horsepower available
    Turning
    • Turning - produces a smooth and straight outside radius on
    a part.
    Threading
    • Threading - The cutting tool is moved quickly cutting
    threads.
    Facing
    • Facing - The end of the part is turned to be square.

    Tapering
    • Tapering - the tool is moves so as to cut a taper (cone
    shape).
    Parting/Slotting/Grooving
    • A tool is moved in/out of the work. shallow cut will leave a
    formed cut, a deep cut will cut off the unsupported part.
    Drilling/Boring
    • Drilling/Boring - a cutter or drill bit is pushed into the end
    to create an internal feature.
    Knurling
    • Knurling is a manufacturing process whereby a visually-
    attractive diamond-shaped (criss-cross) pattern is cut or
    rolled into metal.
    • This pattern allows human hands or fingers to get a better
    grip on the knurled object than would be provided by the
    originally-smooth metal surface.
    Spinning
    • Metal Spinning is a process by which circles of metal are
    shaped over mandrels (also called forms) while mounted
    on a spinning lathe by the application of levered force with
    various tools.
    Reaming
    • A reamer enters the workpiece axially through
    the end and enlarges an existing hole to the
    diameter of the tool. Reaming removes a
    minimal amount of material and is often
    performed after drilling to obtain both a more
    accurate diameter and a smoother internal
    finish.
    Tapping
    • A tap enters the workpiece axially through the
    end and cuts internal threads into an existing
    hole. The existing hole is typically drilled by
    the required tap drill size that will
    accommodate the desired tap.
