This principle is epitomized by the phrase lathe biōsas.

The explanation is that in the early experiments, the turntable, with disc, was mounted on the shop lathe, along with the recording and reproducing heads.

Theobald ( 1994 ) suggested that " etymologically, the word tour is derived from the Latin, ' tornare ' and the Greek, ' tornos ', meaning ' a lathe or circle ; the movement around a central point or axis '.

The machining process is performed in a brake lathe, which removes a very thin layer off the disc surface to clean off minor damage and restore uniform thickness.

* Diamond turning – A diamond-turned contact lens is cut and polished on a CNC lathe.

The lathe is equipped with an industrial-grade diamond as the cutting tool.

空 ( Kung ) is the first metal off-sting yo-yo made with high-precision CNC lathe.

A lathe tool is a woodworking chisel designed to cut wood as it is spun on a lathe.

The lathe is the oldest power tool, being known to the ancient Egyptians ( albeit in a hand-powered form ).

A lathe () is a machine tool which rotates the workpiece on its axis to perform various operations such as cutting, sanding, knurling, drilling, or deformation with tools that are applied to the workpiece to create an object which has symmetry about an axis of rotation.

The lathe is an ancient tool, dating at least to ancient Egypt and known and used in Assyria and ancient Greece.

The system today is called the " spring pole " lathe.

Turner is a common surname of English ( Anglo-Norman ) 12th Century origin, meaning " one who works with a lathe ".

Maudslay's original screw-cutting lathe is at the Science Museum in London.

Although Maudslay was not the first person to invent a slide-rest ( as many writers have claimed ), and may not have been the first inventor to combine a lead screw, slide-rest, and set of change gears all on one lathe ( Jesse Ramsden may have done that in 1775 ; evidence is scant ), he is certainly the person who introduced to the rest of the world the winning three-part combination of lead screw, slide rest, and change gears, sparking a great advance in machine tools and in the engineering use of screw threads.

Bobbin lacemaking is a handcraft which requires the winding of yarn onto a temporary storage spindle made of wood, previously bone, often turned on a lathe.

And its specificity to " operating by other than hand power " is also problematic, as machine tools can be powered by people if appropriately set up, such as with a treadle ( for a lathe ) or a hand lever ( for a shaper ).

Hand-powered shapers are clearly " the ' same thing ' as shapers with electric motors except smaller ", and it is trivial to power a micro lathe with a hand-cranked belt pulley instead of an electric motor.

Its cut is analogous to that of a lathe, except that it is ( archetypally ) linear instead of helical.

* Machined spring-this type of spring is manufactured by machining bar stock with a lathe and / or milling operation rather than coiling wire.

The development of toolpath control via jigs, fixtures, for machine tools ( such as the screw-cutting lathe, metal planer and milling machine ) during the early 19th century provided the prerequisites for the modern assembly line by making interchangeable parts a practical reality.

The development of machine tools, such as the lathe, planing and shaping machines powered by these engines, enabled all the metal parts of the engines to be easily and accurately cut and in turn made it possible to build larger and more powerful engines.

A lathe from 1911, a machine tool able to shape parts ( usually metal ) for other machines

* Micrometer stops micrometer heads that are mounted on the table of a manual milling machine, bedways of a lathe, or other machine tool, in place of simple stops.

The ability of Maudslay ’ s slide-rest lathe to produce precision parts revolutionised the production of machine components.

Important early machine tools included the slide rest lathe, screw-cutting lathe, turret lathe, milling machine, pattern tracing lathe ( shaper ) and metal planer, which were all in use before 1840.

The only machine to touch the cymbal was a hand-held lathe.

At Midvale, Taylor was quickly promoted to time clerk, journeyman machinist, gang-boss over the lathe hands, machine shop foreman, and then research director and finally chief engineer of the works ( while maintaining his position as machine shop foreman ).

Tapping may either be achieved by hand tapping by using a set of taps first tap, second tap & final ( finish ) tap or using a machine to do the tapping, such as a lathe, radial drilling machine, bench type drill machine, pillar type drill machine, vertical milling machines, HMCs, VMCs.

This tool can also be made with a lathe.

At the time when Maudslay began working for Bramah, the typical lathe was worked by a treadle and the workman held the cutting tool against the work.

This effect was deliberately enhanced by use of a coarse lathe tool, and sometimes by a very limited final polishing, leaving the lathe tool marks as " tone grooves ".

Modern coarse turning patterns allow unturned metal and hammering-marks to show through between the tracks of the lathe tool.

Manufacture of the ordnance was also revolutionised by the early-18th century invention of the boring mechanism by the Swiss gun-founder Moritz of Geneva which allowed for a far greater precision achieved in the casting, in essence creating a huge lathe on which the barrel casting turned instead of the boring tool.

In contrast, a lathe may position a cutting tool to ± 0. 02 mm using a ball lead screw held by rotating bearings.

Bone ferrules decorated on the lathe with turned grooves and bird's eye decorations are applied with a preshaped cutting tool.

For example, a numerically controlled lathe will accurately position the cutting tool according to a preprogrammed profile and compensate for varying load conditions and perturbing forces to maintain tool position.

* a straight rail or track on a machine tool ( such as that on the bed of a lathe ) on which part of the machine slides

The term single-point diamond turning ( SPDT ) is sometimes applied, although as with other lathe work, the " single-point " label is sometimes only nominal ( radiused tool noses and contoured form tools being options ).

A diamond-tipped lathe tool is used in the final stages of the manufacturing process to achieve sub-nanometer level surface finishes and sub-micrometer form accuracies.
