Introduction
A lathe is a machine tool which rotates the work piece on its axis to perform various operations such as cutting ,sanding, knurling, drilling or deformation with tools that are applied to the work piece to create an object which has symmetry about an axis of rotation . Lathes are used in woodturning, metalworking, metal spinning, Thermal spraying/ parts reclamation, and glass-working. The material can be held in place by either one or two centers, at least one of which can be moved horizontally to accommodate varying material lengths. Other work-holding methods include clamping the work about the axis of rotation using a chuck or collet, or to a faceplate, using clamps or dogs .
Examples of objects that can be produced on a lathe include candlestick holders, gun barrels, cue sticks, table legs, bowls , baseball bats, musical instruments, crankshafts, and camshafts.
Wooden Lathes Machine are the oldest variety. All other varieties are descended from these simple lathes A wood lathe is a machine used to form a piece of wood into a desired shape, a variety of other useful, fancy and decorative wood items. A piece of wood is attached to a spinning arm and various tools are used to shape the piece of wood as it spins.
An adjustable horizontal metal rail or the tool rest is placed between the material and the operator accommodates the positioning of shaping tools, which are usually hand-held. With wood, it is common practice to press and slide sandpaper against the still-spinning object after shaping to smooth the surface made with the metal shaping tools.
There are also woodworking lathes for making bowls and plates, which have no horizontal metal rail, as the bowl or plate needs only to be held by one side from a metal face plate. Without
