What is turning?

Turning is a machining process that removes metal from a workpiece to achieve a desired shape and size.

How does a lathe work?

The lathe holds the workpiece securely and rotates it against a cutting tool, which removes material in the form of chips.

Types of Lathes

Lathes come in a wide range of sizes and types, from small bench lathes to massive industrial machines. The basic principle of operation remains the same.

What is a Speed Lathe?

The simplest lathe type, used mainly for woodworking, polishing, and light tasks. It involves hand-feeding the tool into the workpiece, making it suitable for low cutting forces.
