The cross slide on a lathe is a component that allows for precise lateral movement of the cutting tool across the workpiece. It is mounted on the carriage and can be adjusted manually or via a handwheel, enabling the operator to control the depth of cut and the position of the tool relative to the workpiece. The cross slide's movement is perpendicular to the spindle axis, allowing for shaping and finishing operations on the diameter of the material being machined. By adjusting the cross slide, the operator can achieve accurate dimensions and surface finishes.

What is the function of the compound slide on the lathe machine?
The compound slide on a lathe machine allows for angled cutting and precise adjustments of the tool's position. It can be swiveled to set different angles for taper turning, enhancing the versatility of the lathe for complex shapes. Additionally, the compound slide facilitates fine feed adjustments, enabling more accurate control over the depth of cut. This functionality is crucial for achieving high-quality finishes and intricate designs in machining operations.
What is the difference between a wood lathe and a metal lathe?
A wood lathe is designed for shaping wood, while a metal lathe is used for shaping metal. The main difference lies in the materials they are intended to work with.
What is a person called that works on a metal lathe?
