2. Metal lathe - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_lathe

   In machining, a metal lathe or metalworking lathe is a large class of lathes designed for precisely machining relatively hard materials. They were originally designed to machine metals ; however, with the advent of plastics and other materials, and with their inherent versatility, they are used in a wide range of applications, and a broad range ...

   The foreground shows the mandrel for the base. Behind the finished vase are the spinning tools used to shape the metal. Metal spinning, also known as spin forming or spinning or metal turning most commonly, is a metalworking process by which a disc or tube of metal is rotated at high speed and formed into an axially symmetric part.

   Then green sand castings are used to make a metal lathe. The lathe is the first machine built since it can be used to help build itself. The lathe and foundry are then used to make more complicated machine tools. The books in the series are, in the suggested sequence of construction: The Charcoal Foundry; The Metal Lathe; The Metal Shaper

6. Metalworking - Wikipedia

   In the metal trades area, marking out consists of transferring the engineer's plan to the workpiece in preparation for the next step, machining or manufacture. Calipers are hand tools designed to precisely measure the distance between two points. Most calipers have two sets of flat, parallel edges used for inner or outer diameter measurements.

7. Model engineering - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_engineering

   Machine tools used for model engineering include the lathe, the mill, the shaper, and the drill press. [33] Until the introduction from Asia of relatively cheap machinery, beginning in the 1980s, UK or US made machine tools produced by Myford , South bend , Bridgeport and other now-defunct Western companies were fairly ubiquitous in model ...
