993:. It mentions woodworking, metalworking, glassworking, and metalspinning. So, is there a particular reason for mentioning woodworking twice, or moving woodworking up from the other areas where lathes are used? I really, truly believe this is an inane thing to include or even argue over. It's already got a section that one can expand, and it's already represeneted in the beginning section of the article. Since the tool is so versatile, the introduction is an absurd place to mention any kind of specific task aside from the fact it's a machine tool. This includes metalworking, despite the predomanant and overwhelming use of the lathe as a metalworking tool compared to other areas. The lathe article was clearly written by people who are machinists or involved in industry, so I invite anyone with knowledge of woodturning lathes to expand the already included woodturning lathe section, instead of making the introduction redundant and disorganized. I will refrain from further commenting or editing on this. Whatever you people decide works. -

industrial machinery, so I'm not competent to alter it. I believe that the opening line, which points to machine tool (which currently speaks only of metalworking machines) is misleading, because it seems to indicate that lathes are metalworking machines, when clearly that is not all they are. What "other persuits lathes occur in", I can't say, so if you know of some other than woodworking and metalworking, then perhaps you should add them to the article. I don't know why you have jacked up on this particular point. I'm not trying to give woodworking an 'unfair' distinction over other types of lathe, but you have to admit that woodturning and metalworking are certainly important topics when it comes to the lathe. If you believe that machine tool needs to be expanded to cover the woodworking lathe, then go for it. Personally, I have never thought of the wood lathe as being a machine tool, any more than I consider a jointer, or tablesaw to be a machine tool, yet by the broad definition you suggest, they would be.
1548:) and rotated with a back-and-forth motion. Much later, clockmakers tried to work metal and found this motion imprecise, so developed the "turns", the first continuously rotating lathes. These weren't considered to be lathes at the time, they were thought of as quite a different machine, with different applications. It was only with the relatively late development of the Great Wheel lathe that continuous rotation was applied to what its users would call a lathe, and which was being used to make the wooden turned goods that were traditional lathe production. This was the first merger of the name "lathe", the principle of continuous rotation, and the use of the machine for general work - and it was very late, 17th century or so. Before that, the machinists who had machines that rotated continuously would never have called them mere "lathes", lathes were for hairy-arsed bodgers who lived wild in the woods, not precision urban craftsman who'd served their apprenticeship to use the marvellous clockmaker's "turns".

can turn long outside diameters and then can turn that same round part back into a completely square piece again without any external attachments. Also another major difference is that the lathe can also create ID and OD threads with out any additional attachments as where the mill cannot. Sure a mill can use treading tools such as dies and taps, but the mill cannot create these tools so therefore it could not create the threads. On the other hand a lathe can create a tap and a die in addition to creating ID and OD threads on a work piece (so a tap and die is not needed). The only things a lathe would need are its mounting devices and a blank piece of high speed steel. It could then create a vast array of tools from that point on while the mill would sit for the lack of the ability to create threads from a blank.

mill would require additional attachments, chatter the teeth out of your brain and deflect endmills while work hardening long diameters that would create unfavorable dimension. Parts can also be mounted in the slide for additional work even though one can argue that by using the mill in this fashion would convert a lathe to a mill. The statement would be false as the lathe would be lacking the traditional Y axis of a Mill and the lathe will still be a lathe with the operator taking advantage of its untraditional usefulness. But mounting the workpiece on the slide to circumvent the drawback of not being able to mill slots such as dove tails is pointless as the same feature can be created by the lathe after doweling and bolting two pieces together creating the dovetail slot.

So, while you are capable of modifying a tool far beyond it's own definition to machine itself, that's also true of milling machines with indexing heads, or grinders, or anything else you spend enough time modifying. If a professional machinist requires a milling operation, they mount the work in a mill and do it there instead of modifying the lathe they're on into a mill.
