Lathe Fabrication

Lathe fabrication involves the precise shaping and machining of materials using a lathe machine, a fundamental tool in manufacturing industries. Beginning with material selection, the process entails securely mounting the material onto the lathe and performing various operations such as turning, facing, drilling, tapping, and parting off. Turning, the primary operation, shapes the material into desired dimensions through rotation against a cutting tool. Facing creates smooth, flat end surfaces, while drilling and tapping enable the creation of holes and threads. Parting off separates the workpiece from excess material, ensuring clean edges.
