The core principle of a manual lathe is that the workpiece rotates while the cutting tool cuts it: The operator controls the movement of the tool holder through a manual handle or lever, causing the fixed cutting tool to perform cutting on the rotating workpiece, forming cylindrical, conical, and other symmetrical rotational surfaces.
Spindle box: Drives the workpiece to rotate. The core component is the chuck (such as a three-jaw chuck) used for holding the workpiece.
Tool rest and slide box: Manually adjusts the longitudinal and lateral feed of the tool, achieving precise movement through a screw or a rack.
Tailstock: Supports long workpieces or installs drill bits to prevent bending during processing. Bed frame: Provides high rigidity guideways to ensure processing stability
