Other work-holding methods include clamping the work about the axis of rotation using a chuck or collet, or to a faceplate, using clamps or dogs. Centre Lathes are now a little old fashioned but are still used for one off or small batch production.CNC machines (Computer Numerically Controlled) lathes tend to do the majority of work now.
Once an item has been produced and passed QC, the program for that item can be used to produce most solids of revolution, plane surfaces and screw threads or helices. Ornamental lathes can produce three-dimensional solids of incredible complexity. The workpiece is usually held in place by either one or two centers, at least one of which can typically be moved horizontally to accommodate varying workpiece lengths.
