Some common lath machine operations include:
Turning: A cutting tool is moved along the surface of the rotating workpiece to remove material and produce a cylindrical shape.
Facing: A cutting tool is moved along the end of the rotating workpiece to produce a flat, smooth surface.
Taper turning: Taper turning operation is used to change the diameter of cylindrical workpiece into shape having two different diameters at two ends.
