Study Notes

Lathe Development

Lathes are machines that rotate objects around a central axis.
The traditional lathe was a manual tool used for shaping materials like wood and metal.
Craftsmen used lathes to create objects such as furniture legs and bowls.

CNC Lathe

CNC lathes use computer programs to operate, offering greater speed and accuracy.
CNC stands for Computer Numerical Control.
CNC lathes automate tasks that were once done manually.

Lathe Components

The headstock and tailstock hold the material in place.
The spindle rotates the material and is powered by an engine.
The carriage holds the cutting tools needed to shape the material.
The chuck grips the material firmly during operation.

Uses of Lathes

Lathes can be used to create parts for machines, tapped sheets, and custom pieces.
Modern lathes are capable of creating detailed and complex shapes quickly and precisely.
