    The centre lathe is a machine tool that is used to manufacture cylindrical parts. It can be operated manually or by computer numerical control (CNC). Key components of the lathe include the bed, headstock, tailstock, carriage, cross slide, compound rest, toolpost, and various cutting tools. The lathe allows turning operations such as parallel turning, facing, knurling, parting off, screw cutting, and taper turning to produce cylindrical parts that are used in a variety of applications including automotive engines. Modern CNC lathes can automate production and manufacture hundreds of identical parts per day.

    Centre lathe

    The Centre Lathe is used to manufacture cylindrical


    shapes from a range of materials including; steels and
    plastics.
    Components that assemble to make an car engine work
    have been made using lathes.
    The Lathe may be operated by people (manual lathes)
    or computer controlled lathes (CNC machines) that
    have been programmed to carry out a particular task.

    A basic manual centre lathe


    The lathe is
    controlled by a
    person turning
    handles on the
    top slide and
    cross slide in
    order to make a
    part.

    Lathe Parts
    Lathe bed
    Made from rigid cast Iron
    Accurately machined
    slideways
    Slideways guide carriage
    & tailstock
    Headstock on upper end
    of the lathe bed

    Lathe parts
    Headstock
    Holds lathe spindle
    and gears
    Chuck is fitted to
    spindle
    Spindle is hollow for
    long bars

    Lathe parts
    Tailstock
    Can be moved along
    slideways
    Can be clamped
    in any location
    Inside tapered
    to hold drill chuck

    Lathe parts
    Carriage
    Moves along bed
    between tailstock and
    headstock
    Saddle across the
    lathe
    Apron hangs down
    in front

    Lathe parts
    Cross Slide
    Fitted on the Saddle
    Moves cutting tool at
    right angles to lathe
    bed

    Lathe parts
    Top Slide
    (Compound slide)
    Fitted to top of Cross slide
    Carries toolpost and cutting
    tool
    Can rotate to any angle
    Is used to turn tapers

    Lathe parts
    Feed shaft
    Used to move the
    Carriage
    automatically

    Lead screw
    Used when screw
    cutting on the lathe

    Lathe Parts
    Three Jaw Chuck
    Self centring

    Holds round and


    hexagonal work
    3 jaws are connected
    Jaws are stamped 1,2 & 3
    and fitted in order
    Chuck key used to open

    Lathe parts
    Toolpost
    Fitted on top slide and
    carries the cutting tool
    or the cutting tool
    holder
    Can adjust the height
    on some types
    Can carry 4 different
    tool holders

    Lathe parts
    Tool holders
    Used for holding
    cutting tool bits
    Available in Right
    hand, left hand and
    straight

    Cutting Tools
    Can be High Speed
    Steel held in tool
    holders
    Can be also Ceramic
    (Tungsten carbide) bits
    held directly in
    toolpost

    Cutting Tool Angle


    Clearance angle
    Ensures only the
    cutting edge of the
    tool touches the work
    Too much clearance
    causes chatter

    Cutting tool angle


    Rake Angle
    Allows the chip being cut
    to flow out
    Changing the rake
    changes the power used in
    cutting and the heat
    generated
    Large rake = soft ductile
    materials
    Small rake = hard brittle
    materials

    Cutting tool angle


    Tool bits are held in
    holders at an angle of
    about 15

    Cutting tools
    We can put different shapes on the High
    speed tool bits to cut different shapes on the
    workpiece

    Lathe operations
    Facing off

    Parallel Turning

    Parallel Turning

    Parallel Turning
    The tool moved parallel to
    the work and cylindrical
    shapes are
    formed

    Also known as sliding

    Parallel Turning
    The student can Parallel turn the work on the
    lathe manually or use the automatic traverse
    option

    Facing off
    The tool is moved at
    right angles to the
    work using the cross
    slide
    Flat surfaces are
    produced

    Knurling
    A knurling tool is used to press a pattern onto a
    round section.
    The pattern is normally used as a grip for a
    handle.
    This provide a grip for the round part
    e.g. Screwdriver

    Knurling

    Parting off

    If the student wants to cut


    off the part they have
    turned, they can use the
    hacksaw and a vice or use
    the parting off tool on the
    lathe.

    Setting the tool height


    The cutting tool on the
    lathe must be set to the
    exact centre of the
    work-piece
    We use the centre of
    the tailstock to guide
    us to the correct height

    Screw-cutting on the lathe


    Lathes are also used to
    cut threads in round
    bars
    These threads take up
    different profiles e.g
    iso (60) ACME etc.
    These threads can be
    seen on bench vices,
    lathes etc.

    CNC Lathes

    In Industry it is not
    efficient or profitable to
    make everyday products
    by hand.
    On a CNC machine it is
    possible to make hundreds
    of the same item in a day.
    First a design is drawn
    using design software,
    then it is processed by the
    computer and made using
    the CNC machine.
    In industry, CNC
    machines can be
    extremely large.
