What is a lathe bed?

The bed of a lathe is the central beam that runs down the machine. The head, which holds and turns the workpiece, is fixed at one end, there is a tailstock at the other end which can be adjusted along the bed, and usually a carraige in between, which holds turning tools. The workpiece that can be turned in the lathe is limited to what will fit in the head without hitting the bed. A gap bed lathe has a gap in the bed near the head, so a larger workpiece can be turned.

What is step turning operation on lathe machine?

Actually, there are 2 classifications of turning operations...

It can be classified as External operations and internal operations.

In external operations are:

1. Turning-(including steps, tapers, contours, and chamfers)

2. Facing

3.Grooving

4. Cut-off-(also called parting)

5. Thread cutting-(also called screw cutting)

while in Internal operations are:

1. internal drilling

2. Boring

3.Reaming

4.Tapping-(internal thread cutting)

What is the difference between a metal lathe and a wooden lathe?

Milling in a lathe can be two things:

  1. A cutter is gripped in the chuck and a workpiece the the tool post. The work piece is then milled by using the feed on the lathe. Although it has been done, it is an unconventional method and is not recommended.
  2. A 3-in-1 lathe with a milling attachment as part of the machine used for milling a work piece.

What would a power-kraft metal lathe model 04tlc-700 be worth?

Like everything else, it's worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it.

In excellent condition with lots of 'tooling' like chucks, rests, attachments, extra parts, etc. a nice clean Wards lathe might be worth $1000 or more.

A rusty, dirty, neglected or abused old example with no extras and in poor condition?

Maybe a hundred bucks......maybe less.

Difference between turret and center lathe?

A turret lathe has six-usual tools arranged in the order of use on a rotating turret which is cycled by a large wheel or (Turnstile) like contrivance- in fact some lathe makers calle them Turnstile lathes. the British prefer the term Capstan lathes, the Capstan being that old extended bar device ( somewhat resembling a turnstile) used by seamen to manually raise the anchor- in old Pirate films, etc. The Capstan or Turnstile is oriented vertically, like a steering wheel. they usually have six stops on a hexagon turret. For this reason, a number of automobile makers had hexagonal trademarks such as Essex and Packard- a mark of homage to the machines used to make the parts!- the Turret Lathe.
