The headstock holds the workpiece and provides rotational motion.

The headstock controls the speed of the tool feed.

The headstock supports the lathe bed.

The headstock is used for cutting materials.

To support the workpiece and hold tools.

To cool the tools during operation

To measure the diameter of the workpiece

To increase the speed of the lathe

The carriage serves as a storage compartment for tools.

The carriage holds and moves the cutting tool and workpiece, allowing for precise machining.

The carriage is responsible for cooling the workpiece during machining.

The carriage is used to power the lathe motor.

A manual lathe uses electricity while a CNC lathe does not.

The main difference is that a manual lathe is operated by hand, while a CNC lathe is automated and controlled by computer programming.

Manual lathes are faster than CNC lathes in production.

CNC lathes are only used for small parts, while manual lathes can handle larger pieces.
