I want to know in the region of the lathe piece of equipment piece of equipment.?
Answers:
The rough and ready mechanism is a rotating workpiece and a tool (for cutting). This tool can be used to reduce the outside dia., create a hole and enlarge a hole. The tool is made to move surrounded by the X, Y directions to achieve the result.
lathe (lath) , mechanism tool for holding and turning metal, wood, plastic, or other material against a cutting tool to form a cylindrical product or part of the pack. It also drills, bores, polishes, grinds, makes threads, and performs other operation. Its principal parts are the headstock (attached to the bed or base of the machine), which holds one end of the bits and pieces in a rotating spur; the tailstock, which holds the other end, moves along the bed, and can be clamped within position at any point; the cutting tool; and the power feed, comprising the drive and its motive parts.
The source has an excellent discussion of lathes including animated illustrations. I worked as a machinist to take-home pay my way through early power-driven engineering school and I recall that the legitimate secret to lathes was to correctly foot grind your own tool bits. If they were "wrong" you got a great deal of chatter and lost production and work pieces. We also had handscrew machines where you inserted a piece surrounded by a collet, rotated an manual acuator arm for a quick operation after replace the piece with the next blank. Also we have turret lathes where the piece remained in place and you turned the turret to bring into play diverse tool bits for a series of operations. The most skilled machinist set up and operated automatic lathes where on earth various cams operated (without encyclopaedia assistance) to perform a series of operations. Poor work on that mechanism could quickly ruin a lot of untouched material or even ruin the machine. All machinists have to use a series of measuring tools such as calipers or go/no-go gages to constantly check quality against the drawings. Source(s): http://www.mini-lathe.com/Mini_lathe/Int…
