Lathe, Definition, Lathe is a machine, which removes the metal from a piece of work to the required, shape and size., , ➢ Lathe is one of the most important machine tools in the metal working industry. A, , lathe operates on the principle of a rotating workpiece and a fixed cutting tool., , ➢, , The cutting tool is feed into the workpiece, which rotates about its own axis, causing the workpiece to be formed to the desired shape., , ➢, , Lathe machine is also known as “the mother/father of the entire tool family”.
Page 3 :
INVENTOROF CENTRE LATHE, ➢ Henry Maudsley was born on an isolated farm, , near Gigghleswick in North Yorkshire and, educated at University Collage London. He was, an outstandingly student, collecting ten Gold, Medals and graduating with an, M.D. degree in 1857.
