Question

What are the basic parts of an engine lathe? discuss the functions of its parts?

Answer 1

An engine lathe is also known as a reproductive machine because it has many production capabilities. Primary features of an engine lathe are gears, a stepped pulley to operate spindle speeds, tailstock, and a carriage. The gears work to power the transport, which cushions the cutting tools. A tailstock will support hole-drilling within the spindle. Shaping tools can be manually operated or driven with gears. A conventional engine lathe will also include a compound rest and cross-slide for angular and cross cutting.
