Monarch Tool-Room Lathe
(The big hand wheel moves the carriage left and right, the smaller hand
wheel moves the cross-slide with the cutting tool in and out.)
Other knobs and handles turn the lathe on, engage automatic power feeding
of the tool into or across the work piece, and also enable the
lathe to cut scruew threads. ( Threads. . . the spiral ramp around the
outside of a bolt or on the inside of a nut.)
Engine Lathe (This lathe can turn a part over 2 feet in diameter.)
Computer controlled lathe. Also know as a Numerical Controlled Lathe
(N/C). The term N/C was coined back when machines were controlled by paper
tape. The tape had holes punched in it that represented the Numbers and
Control codes for a specific machine.
The computer consol for the lathe.
The modern computer handles all the functions of the old paper tape N/C
systems much faster.
