POWERPOINT PRESENTATION 
ON 
LATHE MACHINE 
PRESENTED BY: 
DCRUST, MURTHAL
INTRODUCTION 
• A lathe is a machine tool which rotates the workpiece on its axis to 
perform various operations such as cutting, sanding, knurling, drilling, or 
deformation, facing, turning, with tools that are applied to the workpiece 
to create an object which has symmetry about an axis of rotation. Lathes 
are used in woodturning, metalworking, metal spinning, Thermal 
spraying/ parts reclamation, and glass-working. Lathes can be used to 
shape pottery, the best-known design being the potter's wheel.
LATHE MACHINE
WORKING PRINCIPLE 
• The lathe is a machine tool which holds the workpiece between two rigid 
and strong supports called centers or in a chuck or face plate which 
revolves. The cutting tool is rigidly held and supported in a tool post 
which is fed against the revolving work. The normal cutting operations are 
performed with the cutting tool fed either parallel or at right angles to the 
axis of the work. 
• The cutting tool may also be fed at an angle relative to the axis of work 
for machining tapers and angles.
COMPONENTS OF LATHE MACHINE 
• Bed 
• Legs 
• Headstock 
• Gear Box 
• Carriage 
• Tail Stock
BED 
• The bed is a heavy, rugged 
casting in which are mounted 
the working parts of the lathe. 
It carries the headstock and tail 
stock for supporting the 
workpiece and provides a base 
for the movement of carriage 
assembly which carries the 
tool.
HEADSTOCK 
• The headstock is clamped on the 
left hand side of the bed and it 
serves as housing for the driving 
pulleys, back gears, headstock 
spindle, live centre and the feed 
reverse gear. The headstock 
spindle is a hollow cylindrical 
shaft that provides a drive from 
the motor to work holding 
devices.
LEGS 
• The legs carry the entire load 
of machine and are firmly 
secured to floor by 
foundation bolts.
GEAR BOX 
• The quick-change gear-box is 
placed below the headstock and 
contains a number of different 
sized gears
MACHINING PROPERTIES 
• FEED: The distance by which the tool advanced between two consecutive 
cuts. 
• Depth Of cut : The advancement of the tool into workpiece in transverse 
direction. 
• Cutting Speed: The speed at which the spindle is rotating and machining 
is being done.
