Q. What are the parts of lathe machine?

Answer

A lathe has six primary components. The primary components include the bed, headstock assembly, main spindle, tailstock, carriage, and overload safety mechanisms. The handwheel, dead centers, and adjustment screws make up this mechanism. The tailstock's base is fixed on the bed's guideways, allowing the body to be adjusted in relation to the base. A variety of holding tools, such as the chuck, face plate, lathe centers, steady rest, mandrels, etc., are commonly used in conjunction with lathe machines. Chuck is one type of work holding mechanism available on lathe machines. To create symmetrical components and parts from metal, a lathe spins the workpiece around an axis while cutting tools are applied.
