Abstract
Lathes perform a unique role in manufacturing. Unlike all other machine tools which operate in a rectilinear space, lathes use rotation about an axis as their primary operation and create cylindrical objects with a central axis of symmetry. Lathes are used to make shafts, screws, pulleys, pins, and wheels, among countless other examples. With a CNC lathe, it is possible to machine nonsymmetrical parts, such as cams on a crank shaft. Like other machine tools, lathes can be either manually operated or CNC controlled. This article refers to high-powered metal lathes, although wood lathes can be used for some soft metals, like brass. The safety hazards, however, are different.

Dynamic Interaction between Machine, Tool, and Substrate in Bobbin Friction Stir Welding
Sued, M.K.; Pons, Dirk J. (University of Canterbury. Mechanical Engineering, 2016)The bobbin friction stir welding (BFSW) process has benefits for welding aluminium alloy 6082-T6 in the boat-building industry. However this alloy is difficult to weld in the thin state. There are a large number of process ... -
