A manual engine lathe is a machining tool used for shaping cylindrical workpieces. It consists of a bed, headstock, tailstock, spindle, carriage, and toolpost. A machinist operates the lathe manually and controls the cutting tools throughout the process.
During the turning process, we mount the workpiece between the headstock and tailstock, where the spindle then rotates it. The machinist moves the carriage along the bed and positions the cutting tools to remove material from the workpiece. This allows us to evenly cut and shape the cylinder.
