6. Screw-cutting lathe - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screw-cutting_lathe

   A screw-cutting lathe is a machine (specifically, a lathe) capable of cutting very accurate screw threads via single-point screw-cutting, which is the process of guiding the linear motion of the tool bit in a precisely known ratio to the rotating motion of the workpiece. This is accomplished by gearing the leadscrew (which drives the tool bit's ...
