  Metal Lathe. Small Metal Lathes and CNC Metal Lathes
On a Metal Lathe, the work piece which is rigidly held on the rotating head stock of the metal lathe using a chuck, collet.
While working on metal lathes the right method of work holding need to be choosen depending upon the type of metal cutting operation, shape, size and accuracy of the work piece.
In some of the small metal lathes it is possible to holde the work peice between centers where the small lathe is equipped with a mini tail stock.

  Lathe (tool) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In a metalworking lathe, metal is removed from the workpiece using a hardened cutting tool, which is usually fixed to a solid moveable mounting called the "toolpost", which is then moved against the workpiece using handwheels and/or computer controlled motors.
In metal spinning, a disk of sheet metal is held perpendicularly to the main axis of the lathe, and tools with polished tips (spoons) are hand held, but levered by hand against fixed posts, to develop large amounts of torque/pressure that deform the spinning sheet of metal.
In woodturning, one subtype of a live center is a cup center, which is a cone of metal surrounded by an annular ring of metal that decreases the chances of the workpiece splitting.

 Lathe (metal) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A mandrel or chuck is mounted to the headstock of the lathe.
The usage of the term metal lathe may also be considered somewhat outdated these days, plastics and other composite materials are in wide use and with appropriate modifications, the same principles and techniques may be applied to their machining as that used for metal.
A center lathe or engine lathe may be considered the basis for the metal lathe and is the type most often used by the general machinist or hobbyist.

 Metal Spinning
Note: There are other controls on various accessories used with the lathe for spinning, but for this discussion, the aforementioned materials are all that are necessary to complete this procedure.
Metal Spinning is the operation when raising a sheet of metal into certain types of forms on the lathe.
Finally, apply pressure to the metal that is spinning by moving the tool down and to the left.

 Homebuilt Metal Cutting Lathe: The Bed
My lathe will have hand feed at least, preferably by both rack and pinion for manual advance, and by lead screw which will eventually be driven by the spindle for thread cutting.
The scratches come from pinning, where chips from filing lodge in the file's teeth and gouge the smooth surface; this phenomenon is pretty much restricted to soft materials such as brass and aluminum, and is worst with "gummy" alloys such as the 6061 the tubes were made from.
It was also pleasing to see the scratches from filing slowly disappear as the metal around them was scraped away, and see the surface start to pick up the characteristic appearance of a scraped surface as scraping in different directions after each marking led to areas where marks overlapped and intersected.

 Home Made Metal Spinning Lathe
Instead of gripping the work as you would on a metal lathe, the work is actually clamped between a specially turned form and a live-center on the tailstock.
The job of the tailstock is to apply the clamping pressure that holds the metal disk (which is to be spun into the final shape) firmly against the face of the form.
By the time I got to this part of the lathe, the prospect of having to mill out another cross-piece and clamping bar was all to much -- so instead the toolpost clamps to the closest rail of the lathe bed -- halving the number of machining operations required.

These lathes are miniature versions of industrial metal working lathes and are quite different in design and use than wood working lathes, but they can certainly be used for shaping wood, plastics and other materials, especially if very accurate dimensions are required.
I am happy to report that the quality of these lathes seems to be steadily improving.
Discussions are by no means limited to the 7x lathes so feel free to ask any question even remotely related to machining and you will get plenty of good advice.

 Building my Gingery style lathe
Heck, the least I could do is build the lathe.
The problem was that I was using my 4" crucible in the flowerpot furnace and the crucible is actually too big for it so the metal never got hot enough to fill the mold.
The solution was to melt just enough metal to fill the mold and no more (previously I was melting enough extra metal to pour some ingots also) and thankfully that worked.

 Dial Indicators
Since the magnetic force is quite powerful, on the order of 50 lbs., turning the field off makes it much easier to remove and adjust the base.
Rather than a plunger that moves in and out, they have a small lever arm with a ball-shaped tip that moves up and down.
This enables the tip to be inserted into a small hole so that the hole can be precisely centered on the lathe axis - an operation that could not be done with a dial indicator.
