![]() ![]() Instead, the spindle that holds the stock rotates. On a lathe, the tailstock does not rotate. The cutting tool may also be fed at an angle, relative to the axis of the work, for machining taper and angles. Cutting operations are performed with a cutting tool fed either parallel or at right angles to the axis of the work. With suitable attachments, the lather may be used for turning, tapering, form turning, screw cutting, facing, dulling, boring, spinning, grinding, polishing operation. The lathe is one of the most versatile machine tools used in industry. The work is held and rotated on its axis while the cutting tool is advanced along the line of a desired cut. ![]() The lathe is the forerunner of all machine tools. This machine rotates a cylindrical object against a tool that the individual controls. The lathe is a very versatile and important machine to know how to operate. Describe how to centering the workpiece and tailstock center.Describe setup a cutting tool for machining.Identify the most important parts of the Lathe and their functions.After completing this unit, you should be able to:
