    Lathe Operations: 1.      Facing: It is an operation of reducing the length of the workpiece by feeding the perpendicular to the lathe axis. This operation of reducing a flat surface on the end of the workpiece. For this operation, regular turning tool or facing tool may use. The cutting edge of the tool should set to the same height as the centre of the workpiece. 2.      Turning: It is the most common type of operation in all lathe machine operations. Turning is the operation of removing the excess material from the workpiece to produce a cylindrical surface to the desired length. The job held between the centre or a chuck and rotating at a required speed. The tool moves in a longitudinal direction to give the feed towards the headstock with proper depth of cut. The surface finish is very good.    Ø Straight Turning: The workpiece is held on the chuck and it is made to rotate about the axis, and the t...

Types of Lathe Machines: Lathes are available in large sort of types and sizes. It is difficult to classify them into categories. There is a reasonably large variation in their design, construction and use. However, according to their construction and design we can classify the lathes as follows: Bench Lathe 1. Bench Lathe:        It is a small lathe and is mounted on a separately prepar types of Lathe Machines: Lathes are available in large sort of types and sizes. It is difficult to classify them into categories. There is a reasonably large variation in their design, coned bench or cabinet. It is used for little and precision work since it's very accurate. It is usually given all the attachments, which a bigger lathe carries, and is capable of performing most the operations which a bigger lathe can do. Speed Lathe 2. Speed Lathes: These lathes could also be of bench type or they'll have the supporting legs cast and fitted to the be...

Lathe Machine Machining is one among the foremost important material removal methods within the technology of producing. It’s basically a set of fabric working processes that involves other processes like drilling, shaping, sawing, planning, reaming, and grinding among others. It is called the mother of all machine tools. Machining is practically a neighborhood of the manufacture of all metals and other materials like plastics, and wood also. A crucial machine that's useful in machining is that the lathe machine .A lathe machine is usually utilized in metalworking, metal spinning, woodturning, and glassworking. The varied operations that it can perform include the following: sanding, cutting, knurling, drilling, and deforming of tools that are employed in creating objects which have symmetry about the axis of rotation. A number of the foremost common products of the lathe machine are crankshafts, camshafts, table legs, bowls, and candlestick. The first lathe machine that was ev...
