A platen lathe is a type of lathe that features a flat, horizontal bed with a platen, which is a flat surface used for supporting the workpiece during machining. It is primarily designed for producing flat surfaces and can be used for various tasks such as shaping or milling. The platen lathe is particularly useful in manufacturing environments where precision and stability are required for machining operations. Unlike traditional lathes that rotate the workpiece, the platen lathe often involves moving cutting tools across the stationary workpiece.
Can polyurethene be turned on lathe..which tool should be used?
Polyurethane cames in different hardness/durometers. The harder it is, the easier it is to machine it
The apron on a lathe is suspended from the saddle. It houses a gearbox connecting the carriage hand wheel to the rack enabling longitudinal movement of the saddle. It also houses the half nut and its lever for thread cutting and power feed levers.
Air you asking about airguns as in Pneumatic tools, or as in shooting.
How do you calculate the capacity of power-press machine?
tonnage capacity is equal to area x shear strength of material.
calculate area by multipying length and thickness of material.
What does the number stamped on the tang of an auger bit mean?
The number stamped on the square tang indicates the bit size.
While the turret lathe in it's perfected form is now a complete machine, the turret idea was first applied to engine lathes, and turret attachments are so universally popular that most of the lathe manufacturers now make them of dimensions suitable for their lathes, and attach them either to the lathe carriage or to a special bed which may be fastened to the lathe bed upon the removal of the tail-stock. A great variety of work may be done in the turret lathe, its principal rival being the automatic screw machine, whose economy lies principally in the fact that one operator may take care of a number of machines, each of these machines depending principally for their success upon the turret with its multiplicity of tools. And this idea of a turret carrying from four to eight tools is applied in a great variety of ways and to a large variety of machines on account of the ease with which any desired tool may be brought into a working position.
The head-stock of a turret lathe is made in several ways, from that of a plain head withoutback gears to one with a large variety of speeds, controlled by handles operating clutches, or friction driving devices, or both, and which may be operated while the machine is in motion. In some cases the head-stock is cast in one piece with the bed, in others fitted to it in a similar manner to that of an ordinary lathe. In still others the head has a transverse movement on the bed upon which it slides and its movement is easily controlled by the operator.
The turret is designed and constructed in a variety of forms, but principally either circular or hexagonal. It is mounted usually in a horizontal position, that is with its axis vertical, but still in some of the best machines, notably the Gisholt, it is pivoted in an inclined position, the object being to bring the long tools, made necessary by a large machine, up out of the way of the operator as they swing over the front of the machine.
Is center lathe a machine tool?
Yes. A machine tool is a power driven machine that is a tool in itself which performs machining operations.
What are the differences between Internal and External threads?
Internal threads are threads inside of a hole in something.
Like a nut, for instance.
External threads are threads on the outside of a cylindrical object.
Like a bolt, for instance.

It is a semi-automatic or automatic machine that is designed to copy articles from a pre=made master model or piece. There are several different types, some using electronic computer logic! an elementary trace type is the Lathe used to duplicate keys you can find in any locksmith shop, the tracer follows the up and down patterns of the key and cuts them ( lathe portion) in on the blank key, securely mounted. These things are well over a hundred years old.
What does 2-16 inch thread mean?
If you are talking about a fastener, it is 2" diameter, 16 threads per inch. This is considered an extra fine thread fastener.
How do you remove the dead center in a lathe?
A dead center is removed by turning the tail stock spindle in a counter-clockwise direction until if feels like it comes to a sudden stop, then it will eject the dead center from the tail stock quill.
What is a lathe backing plate for?
The backing plate on a lathe is used to mount the chuck to it and is the adapter to the lathe spindle.
What is the best manufactor of wood lathe?
Oneway, but there are three caveats--price (around $6000 for a Oneway 2436), size (the lathe can swing 24 inches over the bed, so you can assume the whole machine is huge) and availability (Oneway lathes are made to the turner's specifications, and it takes a couple months to get one from the time you order it). It also weighs about 700 pounds if you don't put any sand in the bed tube.
The flipside is that lathe is so powerful you can adjust the speed to 100rpm and still be able to do work, and it's practically vibration-free, so you can make better turnings.
Having trouble threading tubing on cnc lathe part keeps breaking during turning 012 wall 060 hole?
Troubleshooting problems with threading tubing on CNC lathe parts can be a tricky process. Here are some tips to help you get to the root of the issue:
- Check if the part is clamped properly ensuring that the cutting forces are evenly distributed.
- Ensure that the tool is sharp and well-maintained.
- Check the feed rate and spindle speed to make sure that they are set to the optimal levels for the material.
- Check the depth of cut and make sure that it is not too deep for the material.
- Make sure that the tool is aligned correctly for the type of thread being cut.
- Ensure that the threading tool is set to the correct size for the diameter of the tubing.
- Check the chip load to make sure that it is not too high for the material.
By following these steps you should be able to identify and correct the issue causing the tubing to break during turning. Once you have identified and fixed the issue you should be able to successfully thread the tubing on the CNC lathe part.
