What are Lathes?

A lathe is a relatively complex machine tool. It works by holding and rotating a workpiece around in precise ways to allow for various processes to be carried out, like sanding, cutting, facing, turning, and finishing. The history of lathes goes back thousands of years, all the way to the days of Ancient Egypt, and lathes can come in many forms. They typically feature a bed, which is where all of the other components are attached, as well as headstock, tailstock, a motor, a toolrest, and other components.

What are Lathes Used for?

There are many different uses and purposes of lathes. The main use of these machine tools is to remove unwanted parts of material from a workpiece, sanding away the parts that aren't needed or getting rid of rough edges in order to produce a smooth and nicely-finished final piece. Lathes may also be used for processes like cutting, drilling, deformation, and facing. They're essential pieces of equipment in industries like woodworking, metalworking, glass working, and even watchmaking.
