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.
What is a person called that works on a metal lathe?
People that work on a metal lathe are called a Turner, a Machinist or a Lathe operator depending on their trade or qualifications.
What is the difference between a milling machine and a lathe?
A milling machine basically look like a drill press, but with the ability to move the work piece sideways. A lathe clamp and spin the work piece horizontally and use a stationary tool bit to cut and shape the work piece.
What is the function of a tool room lathe?
There are a number of different types of lathe. We usually separate them out by whether they are for wood or metal (and other stuff like plastic). The things is, they all do essentially the same thing: they turn a workpiece between two centers and allow the user to apply a tool to remove material from the rotating mass of "stuff" being worked, or, as is said by those involved, turned. The earliest lathes did thi - turned the work so a tool could be used on that material. And we do it pretty much the same way today. The metal lathe most often has a chuck on the headstock (the driven end) in which work can be clamped, and this affords an "open end" on the material so it doesn't have to be supported at the "tail end" of the lathe to work the material. (You aren't turning between centers.) A number of metal lathes are computer controlled (the so-called computer numeric controlled or CNC machines), and they can do a lot of things very quickly and with a high degree of accuracy. And all if it is repeatable. Need some pistons made for your engine? We can do that. Many wood lathes have a faceplate attachment that a wood turner can affix a chunk of wood to so he can turn, say, a bowl. That way the wood can be supported on just the one end and the bowl can be hollowed out. There are lots of wood turners out there, and they make some fabulous stuff. We often say, "I'm turning (something) on a lathe." It could be a wooden bowl to mix pie dough in or a rolling pin for rolling out that pie dough. Certainly it could be any one of a zillion machined parts for aircraft or automotive applications, or just about anything else. There are a lot of things we use every day that have been turned on a lathe, though many of them may not be where we can see them, like a number of engine parts in a car. The largest part of the lathe (almost always) is the bed of the machine. It is the "frame" onto which the headstock and the tailstock are fastened. The headstock has in it the rotating (driven) spindle on which a chuck or faceplate can be fastened. On the bed, the top of it is generally machined to create the ways on which the tool rest or (in the case of a metal lathe) the carriage(with its cross slide and tool post) can sit and move precisely along the length of the bed. There are some other parts and a host of attachments to the lathe. Pictures may very well help you see things. Links are provided to the Wikipedia articles on the lathes, and a link is provided to some "lathe" video clips put up on YouTube. There are a lot(!) of short posts there on lathe work. Check a few out.
Why is the spindle on the lathe hollow?
The hollow spindle of a lathe allows for longer lengths of material to be held in the chuck thus eliminating constant material changing to and from the lathe in production turning. The best advantage is the saving in material costs. If one had to manufacture 20 bushings and they were all cut into separate billets, half of the material would be lost because the chuck needs some material to grip the work piece on. If for example 20 bushings of 50mm OD by 50mm long have to be made, one would need a piece of material of at least 1150mm long. A single shaft or hollow bar of this length can usually be stuck into the hollow spindle with only enough material sticking out to make one or two bushings at a time. Once they are parted off, the material can simply be pulled out and the next one or two bushings can be machined. In the end the wastage will only be a piece of material of 70mm long instead of 20 pieces of 40 or 50mm long without a hollow spindle.

How is work held in a lathe?
There are various ways for a lathe to hold its workpiece.The workpiece could be held between centers from the spindle and tail stockIt could be gripped in a chuckA faceplate could be used and the workpiece is screwed, bolted or clamped to it.
How do you face-off on a lathe?
facing is the proccess of reducing length of the work piece. it is done using cross slide. the tool is fed using the carriage.
How does a center lathe work?
It doesn't.

Can you give me a sentence for the words lathe and lays?
While John lays next to the pool, his brother is at work machining shafts on a lathe.
How does capstan lathe machine work?
it is basically used for machining..
What is reason for center drilling a work piece in a lathe?
It guides your drill so that it doesn't drill off center. Drilling into a flat surface with a standard drill is not going to work or in the rare occasion it does will atleast give u a headache trying.
What are the effects of clamping the workpiece in a chuck or work holding device?
The work piece is tight hold in the chuck. the chuck part of the lathe machine .it is made of mild steel .clamping to hold the device to normal cutting and simple .clamp the workpiece rigidly. no vobration of the work piece as well as cutting tool . prevent breakage of the cutting tool. physical accidents can be avoided
What has the author David Fenner written?

What is the definition of a planing tool in basic machine tools?
Lathe for making the cross piece is rounded. The tool is a piece of stationary spins. Milling machines for making flat pieces. The tool rotates the piece is stationary. +++ "Planing" in machine-tool terms describes the action of a Planing-machine, which moves the workpiece held on a horizontal table against a cutting-tool held on a frame adjustable for height (cutting depth) and cross-feed. Not often used now, having largely been supplanted by the milling-machine, and for very large work the plano-mill. ' The planning-tool itself resembles a chisel ground to particular angles.
