traditional lathe
The traditional lathe is a fundamental machine tool designed for precision shaping and machining of various materials. Its main functions include rotating a workpiece about an axis to perform operations like cutting, sanding, knurling, and drilling. Technological features of the traditional lathe include a sturdy bed, a headstock for holding the cutting tools, a tailstock for supporting the workpiece, and a motor that drives the rotation. These components work in tandem to ensure accuracy and efficiency. Applications of the traditional lathe are widespread, from metalworking and woodturning to the manufacturing of precision parts and components across industries such as automotive, aerospace, and general engineering.
