Woodturning

strong lightweight wood is wood with small fibers, such as balsa

Open the chuck all the way and look down inside it, you'll probably see a screw you'll need to remove.
If it's an older model, and you don't see a screw, it's probably got a tapered shaft.
You can use the sane sort of a fork you use to remove a ball joint to remove the chuck.

All lathes could be considered "centre lathes." You turn "between centers." There's also a tool called a "machining center," but those are for computerized milling, normally of metal.

the size of a lathe can be described by either of the following ways.

1.DISTANCE BETWEEN THE TWO DEAD CENTERS.

2.SWING RADIUS. IT'S THE DISTANCE MEASURED FROM THE SADDLE/CARRIAGE TO THE AXIS OF THE SPINDLE.

You can make anything cylindrical in shape on a lathe providing it can be held safely in the chuck. It can be used to cut diameters, bores, faces and create tapers. With the use of a tail stock it can also be used to drill perfectly centred holes with minimal effort. Also on higher quality lathes diameters can be turned in or out of concentricity as the operator wishes with the use of a four jawed chuck. There is also no limit to what metal you can cut either as the spindle speed and feed can be altered to suit the material you are cutting from plastics to hard alloys. Examples of simple projects are hammers, plum-bobs , ashtrays and even fisherman's priests to name but a few.

what are three types of timber that are used for woodturning

Balsa is the lightest Hardwood But it is soft

The cheapest metal lathes cost around $180. More expensive models can cost up to $6,000. The smaller and less complex the lathe, the cheaper the price.

This is a system that guide the body of a lathe. And for Exfoliaion pieces of it as a preservative. And also for under drill holes in it.

facing is the proccess of reducing length of the work piece. it is done using cross slide. the tool is fed using the carriage.

Your hair should be closed. The closing time Tuesday to wrench off the workpiece. Use safety glasses. Wear appropriate work clothes. Students have to work.

A metal lathe is used to "turn" (cut) shapes of external and/or internal circular cross-section: cylinders, discs, cones (tapers), spheres (with a special attachment). It can also cut screw-threads to high accuracy; and its range of work can be increased by various extra attachments.

The metal-cutting lathe is the fundamental machine-tool upon which all others depend, and the basic principle of turning - rotating the work-piece against the cutting-tool - has been traced to the Ancient Egyptians perhaps 4000 years ago, for wood-working.

well there is the one with a dick on his head, then there is one called the centre lathe then theres the, actually why am i telling you. work it out yourself you little prick.

Jacques de Vaucanson built the first all-metal lathe around 1751, according to Book Rags. Henry Maudslay, who is considered the "father of the industrial lathe," invented the first screw-cutting engine lathe in 1797.

It will cost about 85 to 200 dollars it depends on what you want on it.

A lathe is an in the first instance an engineering machine used for turning metals into specific shapes and diameters, adding threads for screw, creating threads for bolts, boring .

Woodlates (their predecessor) turning bowls , cutting threats on wood, convex and concave shapes

That's called a 'lathe'.

It depends on what machine you are referring to. There is no overall formula to calculate such things. A saw could remove half or more, a lathe could remove a tiny fraction. It has little to do with the horsepower and more to do with the machine and application

Lathe threading is a machining process used to create helical grooves, or threads, on a workpiece using a lathe. This is achieved by moving the cutting tool in a precise linear motion along the length of the material while the workpiece is rotated, allowing for the formation of external or internal threads. The process can be performed using various threading methods, including single-point threading and die threading, depending on the desired thread specifications. Accurate threading is essential for applications such as fasteners and fittings in various engineering and manufacturing sectors.

The lathe machine is an ancient tool, dating back to approximately 1300 BC. It was first developed as a two-person lathe by the Ancient Egyptians.
