This sounds like a really dumb question, but can anyone give me a video of someone using a lathe? Cause I cant figure out how you make things other than radially symmetrical things on a lathe. Please help!

Take a class at your local community college, or make friends with machinists who will show you how to do things properly.

You might find something at one of the manufacturer's sites, like Okuma or Hardinge. You could try a search for "lathe" to find more companies that make them, those are just the ones we use where I work(that are still in business, that is).Comment

Im not really wanting to learn how to do it, I just wanna get it down in my head. Radially symmetrical means that its symmetrical along a central axis, like a baseball bat or a pawn from a chess set. I know mor complicated things exist made on lathes, like victorian legs for tables and gun stocks, not to mention all the metal stuff they do. I dont want to find a machinist that can help me out here cause theres a billion of them in my town and probably not any close enough that I could go see very often, like run over there after school or whatever. I just want to be able to see this in my head.

6 axis? what the......I thought there are only 3 axis. 3 axis is like putting a mill on top of a lathe.Pardon my grammical and spelling errors i'm low on time and high on work.

6 axis are sweet. think a bit on a mechanical arm
they can bend over and back in to get the back of a work piece through a hole. INSANE!"The Fine Print: Discontinue use if your eyeballs suddenly get way smaller."Comment
