The centre lathe is used to manufacture cylindrical shapes from a range of materials including steels and plastics. Centre lathes are of different types like engine lathes, bench lathes, toolroom lathes, speed lathes, duplicating lathes, production lathes, vertical lathes etc. All lathes are based upon the centre lathe. The tailstock of a centre lathe can also be used for drilling and are used to drill slightly into the material and creates a starting point for other drills that are going to be used. The basic operations that can be carried out on centre lathes include turning, facing, boring, drilling, reaming, counterboring, countersinking, threading, knurling and parting.
