� Chuck: 3-jaw (self centering) or 4-jaw (independent) to clamp part being machined. � Chuck: allows the mounting of difficult workpieces that are not round, square or triangular. � Tailstock: Fits on the traverse slide of the carriage, and uses a handwheel to feed tools into the workpiece. � Tool Post: To mount tool holders in which the cutting tool under g-code control over 2 axes, referred to as X and Z.
They may have a considerable amount of other functionality as well, and there are many variations on lathes such as Swiss Lathes. A lathe machine is used to design or shape a metal piece accurately. The removal of material from metal is called Machining. At the other end to the chuck in a centre lathe is the tailstock which can handle all sorts of tools.
Commonly you’d use a tapered chuck in here and drill holes concentrically to the outside diameter of the bed and can slide towards any position the headstock to which bar stock can be fed, which allows shafts that are up to 2 times the length between lathe centers to be worked on one end at a time.
