� 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 using a clutch. � Lead Screw: For cutting threads. � Split Nut: When closed around the lead screw, the carriage is driven along by direct drive without using a clutch.
� Quick Change Gearbox: Controls the movement of the bed and can slide towards any position the headstock to fit the length of the work piece. An optional taper turning attachment would be mounted to it. � Tailstock Quill: Has a Morse taper to hold a lathe center, drill bit or other tool. � Carriage: Moves on the outer ways.
Used for mounting and moving most the cutting tools. � Cross Slide: Mounted on the traverse slide of the lathe. On its top section are machined ways that guide and align the major parts of the lathe. The following points highlight the three principal parts of turret lathe. The parts are: 1. Head Stock 2.
Carriage or Cross-Slide 3. Turret. There are many types of lathe machine but each machine consist some basic part which are essential for its proper working. These parts are bed, tool post, Chuck, head stock, tell stock, legs, Gear chain, lead screw, carriage, cross slide, split nut, apron, chip pan, guide ways etc.
These parts work together to obtain desire motion of tool and work piece so it can be machined. lathe. On its top section are machined ways that guide and align the major parts of the lathe.
