Lathe Machine
Lathe is a machine tool used to carve axis
symmetrical objects. Shaping hard objects like
metals, wood or glass is for what a lathe machine
is generally employed in various industries.
However apart from shaping and cutting, lathe can
also used for several other tasks too which
include functionalities like drilling, turning,
knurling, grooving, threading etc.

Types of Lathe Machines
There are different kinds of lathe machines that
are sold but based are on their function and
technique used to make them .That enables output
that is precise and timely.

• Center Lathe
• Multispindle Lathes
• Toolroom lathes

• Turret lathes
• Gang-tool lathe
• Computer numerical controlled (CNC) lathes

Turret lathes 
The turret lathe machines are available in both
semi-automatic as well as fully automatic models.
The fully automatic are quite popular among the
large-scale industrial manufacturers who want
quicker metal forming processes and need to
minimize the production costs at the manufacture
units.
5
Gang-tool lathe 
It has tools on a row set on a cross slide that
has a long table that is flat characteristic of
milling machine. The tools are set and indexed
for each cycle of cutting. It is similar to
turret lathe but is linear in terms of tool
indexing instead of being rotary.
6
Computer numerical controlled (CNC) lathes
These are precise, accurate and are easily set.
They use carbide tooling common in modern
operations. The parts are first designed using
CAD (computer aided design) and/or manually then
fed into the machine memory where it will
continue producing the specific parts till the
design is changed. The computer numerical
controlled (CNC) lathe machine is under the watch
of an operator periodically.
7
Center Lathe 
Also known as bench lathe or engine lathe. They
have two heads moving towards the fixed work
piece position and have holes at their edges.
8
Multispindle Lathes 
These are very precise lathes that are
electronically controlled. Their operations are
carried out on an electronic spindle that is on a
screw lathe machine. Several executions can be
done by the spindle and ensures high
effectiveness and efficiency toolroom lathe.
9
Toolroom lathes 
They are used in toolroom work, a kind of centre
lathe with the best features that ensure
effective machining to produce quality work
output.

Conclusion
Different types of Lathes are used in different
industries to perform machining that involves
spinning a metal block before deforming or
cutting it. It shapes the work piece that can
either be a metal or wood depending on the lathe.
Using adjustable metal rails the headstock and
tailstock hold the material as it is moved.
