This equipment is a Metal Lathe, specifically a mechanical lathe manufactured by "LeBlond" based on the name written on it. Its primary function is to shape and cut metals. This machine works by securing the metal piece (to be shaped) and rotating it at different speeds, while a hard and specialized cutting tool is brought close and moved to remove excess parts from the metal and carve it to achieve the desired shape. Some of the most important operations performed by this equipment include: Turning: Shaping raw metal pieces and converting them into cylindrical or conical shapes with high precision to manufacture shafts and axles. Threading: Cutting screw threads (helices or threads) on metal pieces, whether internally or externally. Drilling: Making holes in the center of the metal piece using the rear part of the machine (the tailstock). Facing: Cutting and leveling the edges or surfaces of metals to be flat and smooth.
