The cross slide hand wheel is used for facing on a lathe if the automatic feed is not engaged.
In auto lathe machine, All the processes is automatic from the beginning to the end . Machine take working pieces from the workpiece box where all the pieces loaded initially,then all the processes done on the workpieces as per the command is given initially . final product comes out finally. But in semi lathe machine , all the work is same as automatic lathe but feed is not automatic it done by manually by technician .
A semi-automatic lathe requires some manual intervention for operations such as loading and unloading workpieces, while a fully automatic lathe operates with minimal human involvement, executing all machining processes autonomously. Semi-automatic lathes are often used for smaller production runs or more complex tasks, whereas fully automatic lathes are designed for high-volume production with consistent part quality and reduced labor costs. Additionally, fully automatic lathes typically feature advanced control systems and may include automated tool changes and workpiece handling systems.

The split-nut lever is used to engage and disengage the split nut on a lathe machine to control the automatic feed of the carriage. By using the split-nut lever, the operator can control when the carriage moves along the length of the lathe bed during automatic feed operations.
It is a semi-automatic or automatic machine that is designed to copy articles from a pre=made master model or piece. There are several different types, some using electronic computer logic! an elementary trace type is the Lathe used to duplicate keys you can find in any locksmith shop, the tracer follows the up and down patterns of the key and cuts them ( lathe portion) in on the blank key, securely mounted. These things are well over a hundred years old.

Lathe lubrication involves applying oil or grease to various components of the lathe, such as bearings, lead screws, and ways, to reduce friction and wear during operation. Proper lubrication ensures smooth movement, enhances precision, and prolongs the lifespan of the machine. Lubrication systems can be manual or automatic, with oil baths, drip systems, or spray mechanisms delivering the lubricant to critical areas. Regular maintenance and appropriate lubrication levels are essential for optimal lathe performance.
All turret lathes have rods. These rods are called feed rods and their purpose is to transfer mechanical power from the main drive and gearbox of the lathe to the apron attached to the saddle. This enables automatic movement of the saddle enabling unassisted cutting of a workpiece once the feed is engaged.
