Definition
Lathe is a machine, which removes the metal from a piece of work to the required
shape and size.
➢ Lathe is one of the most important machine tools in the metal working industry. A
lathe operates on the principle of a rotating workpiece and a fixed cutting tool.
➢ The cutting tool is feed into the workpiece, which rotates about its own axis
causing the workpiece to be formed to the desired shape.
➢ Lathe machine is also known as “the mother/father of the entire tool family”.
, INVENTOR OF CENTRE LATHE
➢ Henry Maudsley was born on an isolated farm
near Gigghleswick in North Yorkshire and
educated at University Collage London. He was
an outstandingly student, collecting ten Gold
Medals and graduating with an
M.D. degree in 1857.
, Function of lathe
Lathe is to remove excess material in the form of chips
by rotating the work piece against a stationary cutting
tool
➢ Industrial revolution demanded
More production
More Precision
Changes in Manufacturing process
Lead to the Development of High speed
Special purpose lathes
