Metal Lathes for Industrial Applications
Metal Lathes are a machine tool which spins a block of metal (or other material) so that when abrasive, cutting, or deformation tools are applied to the block, it can be shaped to produce finished metal products. With a wood or metal lathe you have the ability to shape an object while it is held in place and turned at high speeds. The material is held in place by either one or two centers: a headstock and a tailstock which can be moved horizontally to accommodate varying material lengths. In between the two centers lies an adjustable horizontal metal rail called the lathe bed which acts as a carrier for a tool assembly and a variety of shaping and cutting tools. With a lathe you have the ultimate machine tool. Capable of creating an overwhelming array of objects from ornamental furniture table legs to crankshafts, the lathe is every craftsman's dream tool.
