What is a Ordinary lathe?

A lathe machine is a machine tool used for cutting, shaping, and machining materials such as metal and wood by rotating the workpiece and applying a cutting tool. The primary function of the lathe is to rotate the material while a fixed cutting tool removes material, allowing the creation of cylindrical, conical, or other rotationally symmetric shapes. This makes it possible to machine precise features such as circular holes, grooves, and threads. Lathes come in both manual and computer-controlled automated versions, and they are widely used in metalworking and the production of mechanical components. Basic operations include clamping the material, adjusting rotation speed, and controlling the movement of the cutting tool. These processes allow for the production of high-precision and high-quality parts. Lathes are often used in combination with other machining processes, providing a versatile solution for creating a wide variety of parts with consistent results.

Application of Ordinary lathe

１．Shaft Machining
Lathes are used for manufacturing cylindrical parts such as shafts and axles. By rotating the material, the lathe allows precise machining of outer diameters and inner bores.
２．Thread Cutting
Lathes are highly useful for making threads. The cutting tool is used to form threads with great precision, ensuring that they meet specific standards.
３．Gear Manufacturing
Lathes are also used for machining gear teeth. In gear manufacturing, high precision is required, and lathes are used to finish cylindrical parts with accuracy.
４．Metal Parts Shaping
Lathes are used to shape metal materials for creating machine components or parts of machinery. This process allows for the production of highly accurate and precise components.
