hi i would like to get details about the abstract in capstan lathe machine i gonna do the mini project about this i also wanna get detais or abstract about the design and fabrication circular object using varying manufacturing operation
need some details about facing, drilling,thread cutting,knurling,with the use of capstan lathe
can u please provide this abstract as earlyer

LATHE MACHINE
Working principle: The lathe is a machine tool that holds the workpiece between two rigid and strong supports called centers or in a rotating holding plate. The cutting tool is rigidly supported and supported on a tool pole which feeds against the rotating work. The normal cutting operations are performed with the cutting tool fed parallel or at right angles to the axis of the workpiece.

The cutting tool can also be fed at an angle to the work axis for machining cones and angles. Machining is one of the most important material extraction methods in manufacturing technology. It is basically a collection of material work processes that involves other processes such as drilling, forming, sawing, planning, reaming and grinding among others. Machining is practically a part of the manufacture of all metals and other materials, such as plastics, and wood as well. An important machine that is useful in machining is the lathe machine.
A lathe machine is generally used in metal processing, metal spinning, turning wood and glass. The various operations you can perform include the following: sanding, cutting, knurling, punching and deformation of tools that are used to create objects that have symmetry around the axis of rotation. Some of the most common products of the lathe machine are crankshafts, camshafts, table legs, bowls and candle holders.
The first lathe machine that was ever developed was the two-person lathe machine which was designed by the Egyptians in about 1300 BC. Mainly, there are two things that are achieved in this machine lathe configuration. The first is the turning of the wood workpiece manually by a rope; And the second is cutting shapes into the wood by using a sharp tool. As civilizations advanced, there have been constant modifications and improvements over the original two-person lathe machine, especially in the production of rotary motion.
The production of the rotary movement evolved according to the following procedures: manual turning of the Egyptians by hand; The addition of the Romans from a turning bow; The introduction of the pedal in the Middle Ages; The use of steam engines during the Industrial Revolution; The use of individual electric motors in the 19th and 20th centuries; And the last of which is the adaptation of numerically controlled mechanisms in the control of the lathe machine.
