An "operation" is one step in a manufacturing process. Typically, there are a number of operations required to manufacture any given part, and you try to do as many of them in a single machine setup as possible to save time and cost. Considering lathework, you might have a part that requires this set of steps to make: 1. Rough turn stock / 2. Final turn outside diameter. / 3. Turn snap ring groove / 4. Turn thread undercut / 5. Cut thread / 6. Knurl / 7. Face / 8. Cutoff Each of these steps would probably use a different cutting tool in the lathe, and would be an operation. Depending on the sophistication of the lathe, all the required tools might be loaded into a turret in the sequence they are required. That would be the setup.

knurling
How do you perform grinding operation on lathe machine?
The main operation in a lathe machine is to turn material. In all lathes, a piece is held and rotated around an axis while metal is cut.
What are face plates used for on the lathe machines?
On a wood turning lathe, the faceplate is screwed to the piece of wood, then the faceplate is held in place by the chuck. This facilitates free-wheeling the opposite end for such items as bowls. Almost similar to a wood turning lathe, the face plate on a metal lathe is a device that is used instead of a chuck. It allows a workpiece to be clamped or bolted to it for machining.
What is taper turning on lathe machine?
An operation performed on a lathe that feeds a tool at an angle to the length of the workpiece in order to create a conical shape.

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.
What is thread in lathe machining?
Rotates around its axis of the workpiece and the tool will take on the filings.
