Oh my, this reminds me of 1980's Sheffield. I foolishly went into mechanical engineering when the whole industry was on its knees in the city but there were so few other opportunities to earn a wage, & I was one of the 'lucky' ones! The other lads from school got government training schemes, the YTS, £25 a week I shit you not. I left school at fifteen years old & earned 99p an hour as an apprentice turner in the Summer of 85! What the Dickens! Ah it was all a long long time ago...thank heavens
A short video on simple facing and parting operation on the manual lathe. Such classical old style equipment is still widely used in the industry and machine shops because they can be sufficiently good to produce low quantity parts, prototypes or do partial operations on parts. Even better, manufacturers with advanced fully automatic CNC machines may not accept small jobs whereas mom & pop shops that have this kind of manual machines can be your life saver producing you the 5 pieces you need. After all, such manual lathes are good to show and teach you the basics of a turning operation. Lathes and milling machines are used in many areas of manufacturing as essential basic tools, including woodworking, ceramic parts manufacturing, metal and metal alloys shaping and manufacturing, plastics and elastomers machining.....etc. Therefore, anyone interested in manufacturing technologies for fun, hobby, as an entrepreneur or for their career should definitely familiarize himself/herself with lathe and milling machine basics and probably also with other non-conventional techniques such as laser machining, plasma machining, waterjet.....etc. Even if you are not a machinist, but a consumer of machined parts, I strongly recommend learning the basics of machining operations and CNC and manual equipment, so that when you prepare blueprints or want a product to be designed and want to place orders for parts, you know better what is possible and what is not possible. Also, the equipment a machine shop uses is an important contributor to quality, lead time and price. Knowing something about your supplier's equipment inventory can give you an idea about whether that particular supplier is a good fit for your specific parts or not, provided you understand something about available equipment.

Thank you WWU Engineering and Design for posting videos showing manufacturing processes. Please also take the advice on safety of NOT wearing long sleeves when operating this lathe.
Manual turning lathes are great for producing one off unique parts. A skilled machinist will be able to operate it as they see necessary to produce anything asked of them. In this instance, the time is takes to perform the setup is outweighed by the low volume required. While the manual turning process takes more man hours, there are many instances when you could not go without using it.
Dude never work with the lathe in long sleeves. First thing I ever learned on the lathe. You could turn into ground beef.
Cleared the basics , thanks a lot
Thank uou so much. I really learned alot. God bless you always.
thank you for your concerned in reviewing for my reviewer in my assessment in machining NC1
thank you this helped alot

This is so interesting thanks for sharing

Nice Video! Long sleeves are a no no around Lathes though. This machine can kill you. See under lathe accidents here on youtube.
Never leave your chuck key in your chuck. From experience,. That said it was my first job, Turing milling grinding , that damn bastard file.

Nice lathe
Be safe idolo God bless 👍👍👍👍
I can tell that the lathe chuck has hit your cross slide cause of the marks.
Can u make auto parts with this
I'm looking at it
You did not indicate your stock? unknown if you indicated your chuck.
Always QIUTE ! Fun ! Watching AMATURES ! DO WORK !
That dude needs to pull up those sleeves
Hammer, i know, my overall sleeve got shredded, i was lucky!!!
