2. Speeds and feeds - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speeds_and_feeds

   Cutting speed may be defined as the rate at the workpiece surface, irrespective of the machining operation used. A cutting speed for mild steel of 100 ft/min is the same whether it is the speed of the cutter passing over the workpiece, such as in a turning operation, or the speed of the cutter moving past a workpiece, such as in a milling operation.

3. Lathe - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lathe

   Modern metal lathe A watchmaker using a lathe to prepare a component cut from copper for a watch. A lathe (/ l eɪ ð /) is a machine tool that rotates a workpiece about an axis of rotation to perform various operations such as cutting, sanding, knurling, drilling, deformation, facing, threading and turning, with tools that are applied to the workpiece to create an object with symmetry about ...

4. Facing (machining) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facing_(machining)

   Facing on a lathe (perpendicular to the axis of rotation), which is commonly used in turning and boring operations. Other operations remove material in ways similar to facing, for example, planing, shaping, and grinding, but these processes are not labeled by the term "facing."

5. Turning - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turning

   A lathe is a machine tool used principally for shaping pieces of metal, wood, or other materials by causing the workpiece to be held and rotated by the lathe while a tool bit is advanced into the work causing the cutting action. Lathes can be divided into three types for easy identification: engine lathe, turret lathe, [5] and special purpose ...

6. Metal lathe - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_lathe

   A combination lathe, often known as a 3-in-1 machine, introduces drilling or milling operations into the design of the lathe. These machines have a milling column rising up above the lathe bed, and they utilize the carriage and topslide as the X and Y axes for the milling column.

7. Multiaxis machining - Wikipedia

   Diagram CNC lathe 0 1 rotating X axis Optimized for machining cylindrical objects; Pivot spindle head and rotary table 1 rotating X axis 1 rotating Y axis Able to have a larger work area that increases the versatility of the machine and the kinds of parts it can mill; More stable than a Double Pivot Spindle Head; Double rotary table 0 1 ...

8. Vertical lathe - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical_lathe

   A vertical lathe is a lathe where the axis of rotation is oriented vertically, unlike most conventional lathes which are oriented horizontally. Many of them are frontal lathes , meaning they do not have the option of mounting a tailstock , but vertical lathes can also be implemented as parallel lathes .

9. Rotary table - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_table

   Rotary tables are most commonly mounted "flat", with the table rotating around a vertical axis, in the same plane as the cutter of a vertical milling machine.An alternate setup is to mount the rotary table on its end (or mount it "flat" on a 90° angle plate), so that it rotates about a horizontal axis.
