An offset tailstock on a lathe is used to accommodate workpieces that require tapering or to create a non-concentric shape. By adjusting the tailstock position, the operator can ensure that the cutting tool follows a precise angle, resulting in a consistent taper along the length of the workpiece. This feature enhances versatility in machining operations, allowing for more complex designs without additional setups. Additionally, it can help in correcting alignment issues and improving overall machining accuracy.

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.
Use of center lathe for Friction welding?
Centre lathe can use for friction welding.
How can restricted stock offset be utilized to maximize investment returns?

Where does vibration occur most in a lathe machine?
Some major sources of lathe vibration are as follows: 1.) The stock you are turning is not centered properly, or has a lopsided mass. This has the same effect of to much clothes on one side of your wash machine during spin cycle. You can cure this by slowing down the speed you turn at until the roughed stock is more centered. 2.) Take a look at the head stock on your lathe, if it has worn bearings, if the pulleys are out of line or your belt is worn, you will most likely get vibration. 3.) Look at the floor your lathe is on. Is it solid? Cement is the best surface, an flex in your floor will result in lathe vibration. 4.) Look at the stand your lathe is on, is it solid, is it true. A level will let you know if youre base is sagging under the weight of your lathe. Make sure your lathe base is solid and not attached to surrounding walls. The common fixes: Bring your head stock and tailstock together until they touch. Do they line up perfectly, if not you may have a lathe base or floor that is sagging under the weight. Spin the lathe by hand. Is it smooth? If its rough or bumpy chances are you have worn bearings that need to be replaced. Use a straight edge to make sure all belts and pulleys are in line. Being off center will cause vibration or can cause un-even wear of the belts which in turn will cause vibration. If the belt is worn replace it. Add some weight to your base. The lathe is heavy so any vibration is sent right through your base and magnified. Add weight makes it harder for the lathe to move around and will decrease vibration of an out of round piece of stock.
Can you use a wood lathe for metalworking?
No, a wood lathe is specifically designed for working with wood and is not suitable for metalworking.
How are lathe machines installed?
Lathes are installed using the following method: (The method may slightly vary from person to person)The bolt pattern on the head- and tail stock pedestals are measured and matching studs are set into the floor onto which the lathe will be installed.An electrical line is routed to the location where the lathe will be installed for supplying it with power.The lathe is placed on shifting skates or machine rollers and moved over its permanent location.Jacks are used to lift the lathe off the rollers and placed over the studs and down onto the floor. The jacks are then removed.A set of spirit levels are placed on the lathe's beds and leveling of the machine is done by setting the jacking bolts located on the pedestals.Once the machine is leveled, a washer and nut is placed on each stud and the machine is bolted down.A further option might be used by cementing between the floor and the pedestal bases of the lathe to enhance sturdiness.Power is connected to the lathe and all the oil levels are checked and filled if necessary.The lathe is started and tested.An alternative to setting studs, using the lathe's jacking bolts and cementing is the use of adjustable rubber foot pads. The machine is moved to its location and jacked up. The foot pads are installed into the pedestal mounting holes then the lathe is set on the floor and leveled.

Sand and finish the wood to achieve the desired result.
