Preventing chattering of the workpiece is a combination of the right cutting tool type for the specific job (sometimes a smaller radius cutting tip can solve the problem), right spindle speed and at times the right feed. The center height of the tool is also critical and must not be above center height, but rather slightly lower than. The workpiece can also be gripped deeper inside the chuck. If a tail stock is used, shorten the protruding quill to the shortest possible length and lock the tail stock lever.

In the end it all comes down to experience. It is always better to ask an experienced turner or machinist to try and rectify the problem while physically looking at the process with his/her own eyes.

What are the key differences between a wood lathe and a metal lathe, and how can one effectively utilize both wood and metal on a lathe machine?

A wood lathe is designed for shaping wood, while a metal lathe is used for shaping metal. The key differences lie in the materials they are meant to work with and the cutting tools used. To effectively utilize both wood and metal on a lathe machine, it is important to adjust the speed, cutting tools, and techniques based on the material being worked on. Additionally, using appropriate safety measures and understanding the properties of each material is crucial for successful lathe work.
