Tasks you can do on a Metal Lathe

On a metal lathe machine, you can perform various tasks like turning, facing, threading, boring, grooving, parting, knurling, drilling, and tapering by rotating a workpiece while applying cutting tools to shape it into a cylindrical or symmetrical form with precise dimensions; essentially, creating parts with consistent diameters and features along their length.

Key points about metal lathe operations:

Turning: The most basic operation, where the cutting tool removes material from the workpiece's surface to create a desired diameter.

Facing: Flattening the end of a workpiece.
