Lathe lubrication involves applying oil or grease to various components of the lathe, such as bearings, lead screws, and ways, to reduce friction and wear during operation. Proper lubrication ensures smooth movement, enhances precision, and prolongs the lifespan of the machine. Lubrication systems can be manual or automatic, with oil baths, drip systems, or spray mechanisms delivering the lubricant to critical areas. Regular maintenance and appropriate lubrication levels are essential for optimal lathe performance.
In a lathe gearbox it is hard for different lubricating types to lubricate the gearbox so splash lubrication is the easiest way to lubricate it. Splash lubrication is a method of applying lubricant, to parts of a machine, or certain parts of an engine, teeth on the connecting-rod bearing caps are submerged in an oil container when it rotates. When the dippers emerge from the oil container, the oil is splashed onto the cylinders and pistons, lubricating them. This stage is repeated throughout the use of the lathe always properly lubricating the gearbox. Engines are normally lubricated using force feeding lubrication and splash lubrication. The force fed lubrication is used to keep the oil container full whenever the splash lubrication is being used. Normally the oil used in splash lubrication has to have a low viscosity because if the oil is too thick the tooth that dips into the oil container will either pick up a very small amount or pick up none at all.
There is no difference between a turning machine and a lathe. They are two names for the same kind of machine

The back gears on a lathe can be changed to enable it to cut an even wider variety of thread pitches.
Oh, dude, the Half Nut Mechanism in lathe machines is like the key to threading. It's this cool little gadget that engages the lead screw to control the movement of the carriage during threading operations. So, basically, it's like the lathe machine's way of saying, "Hey, let's make some threads without going full nut."
That would be woodturner.
People that work on a metal lathe are called a Turner, a Machinist or a Lathe operator depending on their trade or qualifications.
it is basically used for machining..
A lathe is used to turn chunks of metal into useful parts or pieces. They have a rotating arm that works the metal, removing small pieces a at time until the desired shape is reached. A manual lathe means that the operator of the lathe holds, guides and directs the metal in the machine.
The spindle on a lathe is made hollow primarily to reduce weight and improve the machine's overall balance and stability during operation. A hollow design also allows for easier access to the interior for maintenance and lubrication, as well as the capability to pass through longer workpieces or tools. Additionally, a hollow spindle can facilitate the use of various attachments and accessories, enhancing the lathe's versatility.
