Objective:
1. Shop orientation, Operations of Lathe Machine. 
2. Practice/Demo on a piece of steel for basic Lathe Machine Processes.
3. (a) Turning (b) Facing (c) Knurling (d) Parting

Machining:

• A set of processes used to produce a part through “controlled” material removal.

• Machining is subset of a whole range of subtractive manufacturing processes.

Lathe Machine:
The lathe is a machine tool, which holds the work piece between two rigid and strong supports
called centers or in a chuck or face plate which revolves. The cutting tool is rigidly held and
supported in a tool post, which is held against the revolving work. The normal cutting operations
are performed with the cutting tool fed either parallel or at right angles to the axis of the work.
