    Center Lathes Working

    A centre lathe uses a turning point to spin the material to be shaped, using a toolpost to grind away unwanted material until the correct size and shape are produced. The center lathe comes in two types, either a manual man controlled lathe, or an automated, computer controlled lathe. A computer controlled lathe is programmed to quickly and repetitively produce accurate, identical cylindrical objects. A manual lathe requires the person to use various controls on the top slide and cross side to cut the material in the correct way to produce the end product.
