LATHE

           Lathe is still the most important machine-tool. It produces parts of circular cross-section by turning the workpiece on its axis and cutting its surface with a sharp stationary tool may be moved sideways to produce a cylindrical part and moved towards the workpiece to control the depth of cut. Nowadays all lathes are power-driven by electric motors. That allows continuous rotation of the workpiece at a variety of speeds. The modern lathe is driven by means of a headstock supporting a hollow spindle on accurate bearings and carrying either a chuck or a faceplate, to which the workpiece is clamped. The movement of the tool, both along the lathe bed and at right angle to it, can be accurately controlled, so enabling a part to be machined to close tolerances. Modern lathes are often under numerical control.

           Additional vocabulary:

 circular cross-section – круглое поперечное сечение

stationary – неподвижный, стационарный

sideways – в сторону

spindle – шпиндель

variety – разнообразие, разновидность

headstock – передняя бабка

chuck – зажим, патрон

faceplate – планшайба

lathe bed – станина станка

numerical control – числовое управление

MILLING MACHINE

In a milling machine the cutter (фреза) is a circular device with series of cutting edges on its circumference. The workpiece is mounted (fastened) on a table has that controls the feed against the cutter. The table has three possible movements: longitudinal, horizontal, and vertical; in some cases it can also rotate. Milling machines are the most versatile of all machine tools. Flat or contoured surfaces (фасонная поверхность) may be machined with excellent finish and accuracy. Angles, slots, gear teeth and cuts can be made by using various shapes of cutters.
