Introduction of Lathes

Introduction:
 A lathe operates on the principle of a rotating work piece and a fixed cutting tool. The cutting tool is feed into the work piece, which rotates about its own axis, causing the work piece to be formed to the desired shape. 

How to set up the Lathes:

• Gather all the material and tools for the setup.
• Slide the live center in the headstock, and the dead center in the tail stock.
• Put a guide bar in between the two centers.
• Put the dial indicator on the stand.
• Put the stand on the carriage.
• Apply pressure towards the bar with the dial indicator.
• Once applied pressure, move the carriage along the bar. 
• Slide the chuck on the head and turn the screw clockwise on the head until it's tight.
• Turn the chuck by hand to check that everything is snug.
• Align the tool with the dead center.
• Put the material in the chuck.
• You're done!

Emergency:
In case of emergeny you can just push the brake under the machine using your foot to stop the machine running and if you take your foot off in the brake, you have to restart the machine again, like what you do at the beginning. 

this are the example pictures of theLathes:

What Lathes can do?:
Lathes can do two things, first this can drill a hole wherever you want the hole to put, and the second thing this can turn the material in other shape and this can make your material flats, instead of using the file.
