LATHE
In metal, we got introduced to a new type of machine called the lathe. A lathe is a tool that rotates the workpiece about an axis of rotation to perform various operations such as cutting, sanding, knurling, drilling, deformation, facing and turning, with tools that are applied to the workpiece to create an object with symmetry about that axis. Lathe machine is used to perform basic operations such as cutting, drilling, tapping, turning with the help of different tools placed there. A lathe machine is used for shaping pieces of metal and sometimes wood or other materials. Cutters or cutting tools, carbide tipped tools, lathe turning tools, lathe parting off tools and drill bits are some of the main types of tools that are used on the metal lathe.
