A center lathe can be used for machining, manufacturing or modifying parts and components from most metals, some plastics or even some fiber compound materials. The versatility of a lathe is extensive.

Lathes cut the outside diameters of the workpiece or component, cuts the faces and bore, can cut most types of threads, grooves for o'rings and v-belts, knurl surfaces, part or cut off. All these functions can be achieved with high precision.

Lathes also do the primary machining of a workpiece which would then have multiple spline cut for a gear, key way for a shaft, etc. on machines like milling machines, slotting machines, gear shapers.

What is the use of the tail stock sleeve in centre lathe machine?

Tails tock sleeves are used on CNC lathes. It is the equivalent to a tail stock quill on a center lathe but in this case it uses hydraulic pressure to move it in and out of the tail stock. The function of both tail stock sleeve or quill is to clamp the workpiece by means of a center that is inserted into the sleeve or quill. On a center lathe it is used for drilling also but not on a CNC lathe.
