What is the lathe?
The copy lathe is a special type of lathe that mimics a template or shape for continuously producing the same item. This is mostly used for heavy-duty or irregularly shaped objects that would otherwise be difficult to reproduce without fault. For this purpose, the item is made once or a template is purchased and the copy lathe monitors the shape and depth to perfectly reproduce the item. This feature is provided on most lathes because many lathes are considered useful. It starts by creating a shape or gaining a template. Templates are just pre -made pieces that do not differ than if the worker was to create a shape himself. Getting a template is easier, but templates are usually standard shapes, such as a guarantee or foot of the chair, so the worker may not be able to find a template to meet his needs. In this case, the worker creates a shape using a lathe or carving of the chase.
After creating the shape, it is taken from the cutting part of the lathe. It is then placed in the part of copying the lathe, which is usually on the bottom. The setting is similar to setting wood or metal in the cutting part. Both ends of the building are secured and a metal piece is set to touch the template. The difference is that the metal piece is not for cutting, but for guiding along the template to understand shape and depth.
The material is placed in the cutting part of the copy of the copy. The worker may have to establish a connection between the copy and the cutting part, but having a template in the copy part can also automatically turn on the copy function. This depends on the copy of the copy.
The material in the cutting and copying of the copy lathe starts to spin. On the part of the copy, the stylus slightly stretches along the template. The stencil design responds to the stylus by moving in and out. Cutting from one side to the other, the lathe creates an exact copy of the template.
copy lathes are madeso that workers can re -create the same shape without any failures. This means that the worker can create the same piece, no matter how difficult it is, as many times as it is needed. Thomas Blanchard patented the first lathe of copies around 1820, mostly for the production of weapons and other irregular items such as a boot,
