The main function of the carriage is to capture the spinning tools and transport them to produce the cutting and adjusting motion of the cutting tool. The carriage consists of a slide and a cross slide, which is moved by their lead screw to create a Feed Motion and Adjusting Motion.
Turning Process
At the cutting edge of the bench, the cylinder-shaped workpiece is held by a chuck and the spindle rotates. The cutting tool mounted on the spindle is cut by the cutting edge of the cutting tool. The cutting tool mounted on the cutting tool moves on the guide way. By moving the cutting tool, the unwanted parts of the workpiece are cut into chips. In spinning process, the spin / rotation of the workpiece is called the Cutting Motion (or) Main Motion.
