PRINCIPLE AND OPERATION CENTRE OF A CENTRE LATHE A lathe is a father of all machine tools. It is the most important machine used in any- workshop. The main function of a lathe is to remove the metal from a workpiece to obtain the required shape and size. Lathes remove the metal by rotating the workpiece against a single point cutting tool. Generally, the lathe is used to machine the cylindrical shapes. The parts to be machined can be held between two rigid supports called live and dead centres. The tool is moved perpendicular to the workpiece axis to produce flat surfaces. The tool is moved at an angle to the axis of the workpiece to produce tapered surfaces. The following operations can be done by using lathe: turning, taper turning, eccentric turning, chamfering, facing, drilling, boring, reaming, tapping, knurling, forming, grooving, polishing, spinning and thread cutting.
