Lathe Turning: Shaping Cylindrical Parts with Rotational Precision


Lathe turning is a classic machining process designed to create cylindrical, conical, or spherical parts by rotating a workpiece against a stationary cutting tool. As the workpiece spins at high speeds, the cutting tool is fed into it along linear or curved paths, shaving off excess material to achieve the desired shape and size. This process is ideal for producing components like shafts, bolts, bushings, and crankshafts, and can be performed on both manual lathes (operated by skilled machinists) and CNC lathes (automated for precision and efficiency). A key advantage of lathe turning is its ability to produce symmetrical parts with smooth surface finishes, making it indispensable for industries where rotational symmetry is a requirement.
