Study Notes

Lathe Overview

A lathe is a machine used for woodworking, metalworking, and glassworking to create symmetrical objects.

Lathe Components

A lathe consists of a bed, headstock, tailstock, and tool rest.
The headstock holds and rotates the workpiece.
The tailstock provides additional support and holds the workpiece in place.

Lathe Types

A center lathe is a general-purpose lathe used for most turning operations.
An engine lathe is a heavy-duty lathe used for large, heavy workpieces and high-volume production.

Draught in Lathes

Natural draught uses natural airflow to remove chips and debris from the work area.
Artificial draught uses a suction system or vacuum to remove chips and debris.

Lathe's Role in Metalworking

A lathe plays a crucial role in metalworking by allowing for the creation of symmetrical objects, such as axles, shafts, and other cylindrical parts.
Lathes enable the machining of metals with precision and accuracy.
