Lathe tools

Lathe tools are specialized cutting instruments used on a lathe machine to shape, cut, or smooth materials like metal, wood, or plastic. They are mounted onto the tool holder and moved against the spinning workpiece to remove material precisely. Different tools have specific shapes and purposes, such as cutting threads, creating grooves, or forming various surfaces. The choice of tool depends on the desired finish and dimensions, and skilled operators adjust and select tools to produce accurate, smooth, and well-defined parts in manufacturing and machining processes.
