We use the lathe machine for facing, knurling, grooving, etc...
n gen we use all these processes after foundry and casting of a object...
We can use lathe for threading, cutters etc.....

∙ 12y agoThe lathe is one of the engineers' most valuable tools. Coupled with a milling machine or milling head (Tri-axis lathe) there is nothing that cannot be produced from virtually any kind of material.A lathe can be used to:# Turn an ornate wooden spindle# Skim a cylinder head or other gasket-face# Put a screw-thread on a piece of metal bar# Drill a hole of almost any size in almost any material# Machine an intricate valve, collet or gudgeon# Put a screw-thread INSIDE a hole (Tap the hole)# Produce a complex component such as a cog-wheel, crown wheel or pinion# Re-bore the cylinder of an engine# Create irregular / offset flanged components of infinite complexity.# Turn-down a piece of tooling to fit a specific tool.The list is almost endless. There isn't much you cant do with a lathe, especially if it has a milling head! (Engineers wet dream!)

What is the difference between a metal lathe and a wooden lathe?
Milling in a lathe can be two things:A cutter is gripped in the chuck and a workpiece the the tool post. The work piece is then milled by using the feed on the lathe. Although it has been done, it is an unconventional method and is not recommended.A 3-in-1 lathe with a milling attachment as part of the machine used for milling a work piece.
Where is the drive plate on a lathe?
Using a drive plate on a lathe requires removing the chuck and the drive plate is attached in its place onto the spindle.
Can you turn urethane on a lathe?
Yes, It can be achieved by using a knifing tool.

What products are made by Milling Machines?
whatever machine products which cant be made using lathe(in lathe only designs symmetrical to the axis of the workpeice or object can be only made) almost any design can be mabe even very complicated designs are economically made using casting or moulding process but even for that the die or mould into which the molten metal is poured to take shape is made using milling machine
How are spindle speed changed in the lathe machine?
Using geared head for gear box driven or stepped pulley if belt driven
How are lathe machines installed?
Lathes are installed using the following method: (The method may slightly vary from person to person)The bolt pattern on the head- and tail stock pedestals are measured and matching studs are set into the floor onto which the lathe will be installed.An electrical line is routed to the location where the lathe will be installed for supplying it with power.The lathe is placed on shifting skates or machine rollers and moved over its permanent location.Jacks are used to lift the lathe off the rollers and placed over the studs and down onto the floor. The jacks are then removed.A set of spirit levels are placed on the lathe's beds and leveling of the machine is done by setting the jacking bolts located on the pedestals.Once the machine is leveled, a washer and nut is placed on each stud and the machine is bolted down.A further option might be used by cementing between the floor and the pedestal bases of the lathe to enhance sturdiness.Power is connected to the lathe and all the oil levels are checked and filled if necessary.The lathe is started and tested.An alternative to setting studs, using the lathe's jacking bolts and cementing is the use of adjustable rubber foot pads. The machine is moved to its location and jacked up. The foot pads are installed into the pedestal mounting holes then the lathe is set on the floor and leveled.
What type of hardening is done to lathe bed?
mostly is the hardening done by induction hardening machine, I know also manufactures that do this using the flame hardening method.
Why do you turn or reface a brake drum?
Normally a brake drum is turned or resurfaced using a brake drum lathe. This is usually done at a shop specializing in brake repair, or at a machine shop. Those who have a suitable metal lathe can also turn brake drums.

Dialysis
What are the differences between lathe machine and milling machine?
A computer numerically controlled lathe and a computer numerically controlled milling machine differ primarily in their core operations and the kinds of parts they can create. To make pieces like shafts and rings that are both cylindrical and symmetrical, a CNC lathe primarily rotates the workpiece while cutting tools remove material. However, computer numerical control (CNC) milling machines can create more complex forms and features like slots, holes, and curves by using revolving cutting tools to remove material from a fixed workpiece. While CNC lathes excel at generating very precise circular components, CNC milling machines offer greater freedom for producing three-dimensional parts.
What is a five letter word using the letters a l t q a k h e?
One 5 letter word would be: lathe... which is a machine used to cut wood or metal.
What is the machining operation called turning?
Turning refers to rotating a part around one of its axis, then using a cutting tool to change its diameter. The machine tool designed to carry out turning is the lathe.
