Lathe operation. Milling operation is done with its axis of rotation. The final product is always turning point in the round.


What is an all gear lathe?

A lathe in a small wood or metal shop has a motor that connects to the lathe by belt. In a "direct drive" lathe the motor connects directly. I assume that "all gear" means direct drive, no belt. A belt drive protects the motor from damage and reduces vibration of the lathe. In addition, the belt allows you to change the gear ratio and thus the speed of the lathe without changing the motor speed. Belt drive is superior in terms of both performance and longevity.

What are the functions of gear train on a lathe machine?

All gearboxes work the same way: there is a gear on the motor, a gear on the thing you're trying to drive, and sometimes a set of gears between the two. The ratio between the gears, plus the RPM of the motor, determines the speed of the workpiece. If the gear on the motor is larger than the gear on the workpiece the RPM of the workpiece will be higher than the speed of the motor. If the workpiece's gear is larger, the workpiece will turn slower than the motor. Given that, though, I've never seen a gearbox on a wood lathe. Wood lathes use belt drive for two reasons, the most important being safety--if you get a catch, a workpiece on a belt driven lathe won't damage you as badly as a workpiece on a gear-driven lathe. Also, belt drive won't feed vibration from the workpiece back into the motor and damage the bearings. Gear drive is used on metal lathes.

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.

How do you change attachments on a skid steer?

Typically, you put the existing attachment level on the ground, lift up the two levers at the back of the attachment, roll the support forward and back up to separate from that attachment, drive up to the next attachment, align your attachment points, roll the support backwards to get onto the attachment, make sure it sits solidly on there, and push down on the two levers at the back of the attachment. You connect and disconnect hydraulic hoses as needed for certain attachments (e.g., broom, hammers, etc).
