The important machining process of kettle mold---lathe turning

Turning is a method of turning a workpiece on a lathe by rotating the workpiece relative to the tool. The cutting energy of turning is mainly provided by the workpiece rather than a tool. Turning is a common cutting method and occupies a position in production. Turning is suitable for turning the revolving surface. Most of the workpieces with the revolving surfaces can be machined by the turning method, such as inner and outer cylindrical surface, inner and outer conical surface, end face, groove, thread, and revolving forming surface. The main tool used is the turning tool. 

In all kinds of metal cutting machine tools, lathes are widely used, accounting for about 50% of the total number of machine tools. The lathe can not only use turning tools for turning workpieces, but also use drills, reamers, taps, and knives for drilling, reaming, tapping threads, and knurling operations. According to the different technological characteristics, layout forms, and structural characteristics, lathes can be divided into horizontal lathes, floor lathes, vertical lathes, turret lathes, and copying lathes, most of which are horizontal lathes.
