What is the lathe machine

A lathe is a machine tool, which there a cylindrical material mounted to it and cutting tool. The lathe machine turns cylindrical material to be cut by cutting tool. The lathe machine is one of the most important operating machines because, it is used in the production of cylindrical parts, also used in the production of rotary surfaces such as Nails and columns, couplings, cylindrical and conical tools .
The machining process on a lathe machine is performed by removing the chip from work piece.  The work piece is rotated about an axis of cutting tool, then the cutting tool is moved in the vertical direction and the right-and-left direction by operating various handles, so by rotating the work piece and moving the cutting tool, the work piece will take the desired shape. The cutting tool tends to be perpendicular to the axis of rotation of work piece.
