The document discusses CNC lathe machine operations. A CNC lathe uses computerized controls and single-point cutting tools to remove material from a rotating workpiece. It employs a cutting tool that moves parallel to the axis of rotation to cut the workpiece circumference. The CNC lathe consists of a bed, headstock, tailstock, tool turret, and carriage that slides alongside the workpiece to allow the cutting tool to remove material as it moves. Common CNC lathe operations include facing, turning, grooving, cutting-off, drilling, boring, reaming, tapping, threading, and knurling.
