I have a W. F. & J. Barnes 4 1/2 . Built between 1901-1906. All original parts except the peddle bar. It is a fantastic lathe. That old and I can still dial parts in to .0001.

The lathe is my favorite machine tool, and also one of the most important in engineering. Plus I like their complexity, especially their gear trains they use for different functions. It's a wonderful tool

It was actually a Frenchman in 1750 that made the first metal lathe .

There’s also examples of vertical lathes in India dating back thousands of years. See Praveen Mohan here on YT. He has some very intriguing videos.

The Maudsley lathe is another level up in both strength and precision. The irst lathe is on dispaly in Paris at the Museum D'homme. Maudsley made the irst really good surface plate. It took him months of grinding with three metal plates.

If the part is stationary and the cutter is spinning it’s not a lathe

Too bad they didn't go into how he actually made that lathe. Simply saying "It was craftsmanship taken to a whole new level" - is kind of meaningless.

you can simply understand it is developed from simple mechanical mechanisms. The windmill, for example, has a bevel gear mechanism, and the bevel gear is developed from two disks arranged at right angles, and fitted with alternating prongs to link together... that sort of thing. It's hard for them to detail in a 3-minute clip

agreeable it’s vague in that aspect but this is a pop info video, it’s meant for people just beginning this subject and teaching the basics as it’s only a 3 minute video, intrigued individuals will surely dive deeper and search more in-depth explanations and thesis’s

You can see the lathe technology used in Indian architecture in centuries old temple. They just reinvented or copyed it and stole credit. It is same for radio waves and gear system. You can even see rotating pillars in temples using round stones as ball bearings. there are depicted proof in Indian architecture in temples the use of gear technology in india.

The oldest lathe machine was invented thousands of years ago in India. With that machine, Indian Hindus have constructed temples. It is laughable when you claim that western world invented the lathe machine.

@@jamesbiggs2745 Aryabhatta, the scientist from India born in 476 AD calculated Moon and earth distance. Check in Google. Brahmaguota-2 discovered gravity 1500 years ago. It is written in Vedanga-Jyotisa. The list goes on and on. Regarding lathe, Hindu temples that are constructed have the lathe marks dated 1000 years ago.

@Ante D because british stole 45 trillion pounds form my country. Give it back we'll see whose country is a shithole. If you check our history you can see how rich and great my country was in culture, mathematics, astronomy, medicine,art and textile. You come to our country in the name of civilization and ruined us and now you are saying it's a shithole. It's a shithole because you made it one. You created interpersonal conflict to separate us on every basis. I don't have the time to give you a lecture on the indian history. But it was a thriving civilization on its own before the british came along.
