Greenville, PA. 16125. Date – February 13, 2012 - A metal turning lathe is used to produce round or cylindrical pieces. These lathes are available in many sizes from jewelers lathes and small hobby metal lathes to large industrial machines. The part being machined is held in a chuck, or bolted on a faceplate, or held between centers and driven by a lathe dog. The part that is being worked on is rotated and the cutting tool is moved either parallel to the part or perpendicular to the machined part. The cutting tool peels away metal thus creating the form desired. Holes may be drilled or bored in the end of parts being machined.

Lathes are ancient machines dating back to BC. Metal turning lathes played an important part in the industrial revolution and the development of the machines we have today. Of all the machines the metal turning lathe is the one that has been said to be able to make itself.

Today's modern lathes are very versatile and can be used to cut threads, tapers, and profiles. With the right kind of lathes and proper tooling it is possible to mass produce parts for industry. The increased use of CNC technology has broadened the scope and use of metal lathes.

Some of the variations of metal turning lathes are Engine Lathes, Turret Lathes, Speed Lathes, Toolroom Lathes, Multi-Spindle Lathes, CNC Lathes and Machining Centers to name a few. Originally designed to machine metals, they are now also used for machining a wide range of materials including plastics.
