Overview Lathe Machine Overview A lathe machine is a tool that rotates a workpiece on its axis to perform various operations such as cutting, drilling, facing, turning, knurling, and deformation. The machine uses various cutting tools to remove material from the workpiece and shape it into the desired form. Lathe machines can create a wide range of cylindrical, conical, and spherical shapes, threads, and other precision parts. They are widely used in manufacturing processes such as metalworking, woodworking, and glassworking, and can be operated manually or with computer-controlled automation. Lathe machines have a long and rich history, dating back to ancient times when primitive versions were used to turn pottery and shape wood. Over time, these early lathes evolved and became more sophisticated, with metalworking lathes emerging during the Middle Ages. These early lathes were powered by hand or foot pedals and used primarily to turn cylindrical shapes such as bowls, cups, and ...
