  • Center lathe machine - machine tool that carries out many machine shop tasks. It
    can cut and smooth the face of a work piece. It can make holes to an exact size
    and position. It can also make external or internal threaded parts on a work piece
  • Head stock is the main body parts which are placed at left side
    of bed. It serves as a holding device for the gear chain, spindle,
    driving pulley etc.
  • Chuck is used to hold the work piece. It is bolted on the spindle
    which rotates the chuck and work piece. It is either four jaw or
    three jaw.
  • Tool post is bolted on the carriage. It is used to hold the tool at
    correct position. Tool holder mounted on it.
  • Compound rest is used to provide cross feed of the tool and its
    movement is perpendicular to the center of the lathe machine.
  • Tail stock situated on bed. It is placed at right hand side of the
    bed. The main function of tail stock to support the job when
    required. It is also used to perform drilling operation.
  • Bed is the main body of the machine. All main components
    are bolted on it. It is made by casting process and bolted on
    floor space.
  • Lead screw is situated at the bottom side of bed which is
    used to move the carriage automatically during thread cutting.
  • Carriage is situated between the head stock and tail stock. It
    is used to hold and move the tool post on the bed vertically
    and horizontally. It slides on the guide ways.
  • Feed shaft is a power transmission mechanism used for
    precise linear movement of the carriage along the longitudinal
    axis of the lathe.
  • Chuck
    Used extensively for holding work for machining operations
  • Faceplates
    Used to hold work that is too large or of such a shape that it cannot be held in a chuck or between centres
  • Centers
    To ensure concentric work is produced; this allows the work piece to be transferred between machining (or inspection) operations without any loss of accuracy
  • Material removal process
    A type of manufacturing process in which the final product is obtained by removing excess metal from the stock
  • Thread cutting
    An operation performed on lathe to produce threads by using a tool whose shape will be same as that of thread
  • Taper turning
    The gradual reduction in diameter from one part of a cylindrical work piece to another part
  • A countersink is a conical hole cut
    into a manufactured object, or the
    cutter used to cut such a hole. A
    common use is to allow the head
    of a countersunk bolt, screw or
    rivet, when placed in the hole, to
    sit flush with or below the surface
    of the surrounding material.
  • Counterboring is the
    process of cylindrically enlarging a
    hole part way along its length
  • Tapping- A tap is a tool used to cut internal threads in a
    cylindrical hole
  • Combined Countersink Drilling
    This is a hybrid between the countersink and the
    counterbore. Well, basically this technique tells you
    to skip the pilot stroke and start drilling until the
    bottom end. This is a very useful stroke when you
    do not have much time to focus on the perfection of
    the machine and just want to get it done. This is
    faster and saves a lot of time. Plus, you do not need
    to change the needles in between if you are using
    this stroke.
  • reamer is a type of rotary cutting
    tool used in metalworking
  • Reaming Actions
    Widen (a bore or hole) with a
    special tool.
    • A reamer is a type of rotary cutting
    tool used in metalworking.
    Precision reamers are designed to
    enlarge the size of a previously
    formed hole by a small amount but
    with a high degree of accuracy to
    leave smooth sides.
