What are the parts of lathe?
There are numerous parts on a lathe, all of which have a specific purpose. The headstock is responsible for rotating whatever you are working on. The ways are guide rails that ensure any movement is accurate.

What does a knock out bar for a mini lathe do?
The headstock of a lathe is pushed into a tapered hole in the head spindle. It gets stuck in there in normal use, and you cannot pull it out when you want to change it. So . . . the spindle is hollow all the way through the lathe head. To get the headstock to lossen you insert a round knock-out bar into the front of the spindle until it touches the back of the headstock. A few taps with a mallet will jar the headstock loose. Then you remove the knock-out bar.
What is the use of back gear arrangement in a lathe headstock?
The back gears on a lathe can be changed to enable it to cut an even wider variety of thread pitches.

What are lead screws used in?
Lead screws (always pronounced "LEED," as in the present tense of the verb "to lead") are used in mechanical transmission systems to convert rotary motion to controlled linear motion. A common example is in the machinist's screw-cutting lathe. Here a motor turns the lathe's headstock to rotate the piece being machined. A train of gears connected to the headstock turns the lead screw which is usually as long as the entire lathe. As the lead screw turns it propels the cutting tool along the workpiece at a rate directly linked to the rotation of the headstock.
How do you specify lathe?
The lathe is Specified on the basis on the following factors: 1.Lathe swing or simply swing i.e maximum diameter of the workpiece that can be machined. 2.Maximum distance between the HEadstock and tailstock. 3.Length of the bed. then there are many kinds of lathe categorized by their specific functions or mechanisms but these are the general specifications for every lathe.
Machining methods crankshaft?
I would use a metalworking lathe with a four-jaw chuck mounted on the headstock. You can start with a hunk of metal or from a rough casting.
How a lathe machine is specified?
A lathe machine is specified by-1.The maximum diameter of the workpiece that can be operated on the machine.2.The distance between the headstock and the tail-stock of the machine.3.The length of bed of the machine.
What is bed length in lathe?
The bed length of a lathe is the total length of the bed way from where it starts to (close to the headstock) to where it ends. When a lathe is advertized for sale it would show for example: 200mm x 1000mm or 8" x 40". The 200mm or 8" describes the "swing" of the machine and the 1000mm or 40" describes the workable distance between the chuck and center. This should not be confused with the bed size of a lathe as the bed houses the tail stock and therefore the distance is shortened.

Why feed rod is using in the engine lathe?
The feed rod transmits power from the headstock to the carriage for feeding operations.The lead screw transmits power from the headstock to the carriage for screw thread cutting operations. On some lesser types of lathes the feed rod and the lead screw are used for both the feed and the screw cutting power transmission.
