How do you set the y axis on a lathe?

Set the indicator to zero at the 3 o’clock postion.
Turn the spindle by hand until the indicator is in the 9 o’clock position.
Jog the X-Axis half the value the indicator moved in the direction of the pocket center.
Rotate the spindle back to the 3 o’clock position and set the indicator back to zero.

What is XY & Z axis on a lathe?

If the spindle is vertical (Figure 2.1), the Z-axis is vertical. For lathes, the X-axis is the cross slide (or turret) motion at a right angle to the spindle axis. Y-Axis The Y-axis on mills is either the in-and-out motion–toward and away from the operator (vertical spindle) or up-and-down motion (horizontal spindle).

What is a 3-axis lathe?

3-Axis machining The most simple type of machining, where the workpiece is fixed in a single position. Movement of the spindle is available in the X, Y and Z linear directions. 3-axis machining. 3-axis machines are typically used for machining of 2D and 2.5D geometry.

How can you tell if a lathe is accurate?

The indicator is mounted in a chuck or on a driving plate with its plunger bearing on the fixed centre. Then the lathe machine spindle is turned, when a steady reading shows perfect alignment, using a small mirror to see the instrument upside down and from behind.

Why choose Haas VMT series mill/turn?

Haas VMT Series Mill/Turn centers are cost-effective solutions for machining complex parts in a single setup. These machines combine the full milling capabilities of a mid-size VMC with the turning ability of a small lathe to provide true multi-tasking performance.
