conventional lathe
The conventional lathe is a versatile machine tool designed for precision metalworking. Its main functions include rotating a workpiece about an axis to perform various operations such as cutting, sanding, knurling, and drilling. Technological features of a conventional lathe typically include a spindle that holds the workpiece, a tailstock for support, and a carriage that houses the cutting tool. The machine operates through a system of gears and belts, allowing for precise control of speed and motion. Conventional lathes are used across various industries for manufacturing parts with rotational symmetry, including automotive, aerospace, and general machining.
