ABOUT THE LATHE
The lathe is different from other shop tools, because it rotates the
workpiece rather than the cutting tool. As the workpiece is rotating,
the tool is moved in one of two axes.

02
TECHNICAL VOCABULARY
It's essential to have a clear technical vocabulary in industrial
maintenance because in most cases the machinery has manuals in
English, advertisements, signs, and implements in the same way.

03
MANUAL LATHE
The lathe manual should have a step-by-step guide to the ensemble
of each part and its function, it should also mention the protection
required to operate a lathe and its use.

ABOUT THE LATHE

A lathe is a workshop tool that differs from others by its way of operating, because it
rotates the workpiece rather than the cutting tool. As the workpiece is rotating, the
tool is moved in one of two axes. The lathe is used to cut cylinders, tapers and
threads on the inside or outside of the workpiece.
 
The headstock holds the parts that control the speed of the lathe, as well as the
threading controls. It also holds the chuck and collet, which are used for
workholding.

STEP

The first point is to make a step-by-step description of the ensemble

of the lathe where it's shown how it is assembled ? and what its
function is ?.

Workbench is used to
Workbench carry all the loads of the
lathe machine.

It locates the floor which

prevents vibration.

After making the assembly guide, you should mention the use of the
lathe, the activities that are carried out with the lathe and that
personal protective equipment (PPE) is used when you operate
the lathe
