Are the CNC and Lath machine same Explain ??
Lathes and CNC machines are both popular tools used in the manufacturing industry for cutting and shaping materials. Although they may seem similar in some aspects, they differ in several ways. In this article, we will explore the differences between the two machines.
A lathe machine is a tool that rotates a workpiece about an axis of rotation to perform various cutting, drilling, and threading operations. The workpiece is held in place by a chuck or collet, and the cutting tool moves along the workpiece to shape it. Lathes come in different types, such as engine lathes, turret lathes, and CNC lathes.
On the other hand, a CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machine is a type of machine tool that uses pre-programmed computer software to control the movements of the machine. The machine can perform a variety of operations, including drilling, milling, and cutting. CNC machines can be used to manufacture complex parts and components with high precision and accuracy.
One of the main differences between a lathe machine and a CNC machine is their level of automation. A lathe machine is operated manually, with the operator controlling the movement of the cutting tool and the workpiece. In contrast, a CNC machine is fully automated and operates based on pre-programmed instructions. Once the program is loaded, the machine can run continuously without any human intervention, except for maintenance and occasional monitoring.
Another difference is the level of precision and accuracy. Lathes are generally used for basic operations such as turning, facing, drilling, and threading. While they can achieve a reasonable level of accuracy, they are not suitable for high-precision tasks. CNC machines, on the other hand, can produce parts with extremely high accuracy and precision due to the use of computer software to control the machine's movements.
CNC machines are also capable of producing complex geometries and shapes that are difficult or impossible to achieve using a lathe machine. This is because the CNC machine can move the cutting tool in multiple directions simultaneously, allowing for more intricate designs and shapes.
In terms of speed, 5 Achsen CNC machines are generally faster than vertical lathe machines. This is because the CNC machine can operate continuously without stopping, while a lathe machine requires the operator to manually stop and start the machine for each operation.
Lastly, cost is a significant difference between the two machines. CNC machines are typically more expensive than lathe machines due to their complexity and automation. However, the increased efficiency, precision, and versatility of CNC machines can justify the higher initial cost in the long run.
In conclusion, lathe machines and CNC machines are both valuable tools used in the manufacturing industry. While they may seem similar, they differ significantly in terms of automation, precision, versatility, speed, and cost. Choosing the right machine for a particular task depends on the nature and complexity of the work, as well as the available budget and resources.

Honey dipper
-----------------------
"hey can I have some honey?"
"only a dipper full"



I got a lathe everyone, expect bowls and cups and anything I can think of from me, this is my first time using one and it flew off and smacked me in the face, read the manual guys 😭
It's made from scrap pine wood and finished with beeswax so I can use it for my 300 litre barrel of honey, yummers.

i love when there's an agency/clinic/etc that studies dreams but in a weird way. and then they also have The Machine.
#this applies to 3 different media i know#WAIT 4 i forgot dr. haber's machine in the lathe of heaven...#(the ones i was thinking of are aitsf; the dream machine; and the edge of sleep)#if anyone knows more send them my way :3#kcat talks#tbf most neuroscientific dream studies have some sort of machinery like a polysomnograph or eeg but still.#[gathers my dream machines and weird dream scientists]

Your OC's Personalities
I was tagged by @foxboyclit! Thanks for the tag! I'll do Ven'axtha for this one because he lives in my brain.
How would you describe Ven'axtha's personality?
Charming, calculating, clever, vain, paranoid, and ridiculously secretive. He's very concerned about public image (both his and the theatre's) and he works hard to maintain it, so he's made a bit of a socialite of himself! He's also a schemer, and if needed will get some hands dirty in order to ensure that a plan will go off without any hitch.
What brings Ven'axtha joy?
Ven'axtha is always very happy when little miscellaneous theatre activities roll around; he likes performing in plays of course, but his favourite events are probably the occasional dances or mingling nights.
Venny will also never admit it, but he loves when he makes someone else genuinely smile. It's why he does things like keep hard candy in his sleeves to slip to children.
What does Ven'axtha strongly dislike?
Baseless cruelty ticks him off. He says it's unnecessary and counter-intuitive; that a soft touch or the correct word is often all you need to sway someone. Really he hates harm being dealt to those who are helpless against it, it rankles him and often he finds himself retaliating when he sees it.
It also pisses him off when someone insults his intelligence or looks. He's mostly excised his ego but it still Very Much rears it's head. He may sometimes forgive but he never forgets an insult.
Is Ven'axtha scared of anything?
Oh man, Ven is so scared of so many things all the time and just. Absolutely refuses to acknowledge it. The thing he's probably most scared of is anyone from Before finding him; it's a fear that shapes a lot of how he comports himself. He changed his hairstyle, glamours away his scars, wears makeup, and deliberately puts this specific image of himself out to the public to kind of hide in plain sight. Even the stole he wears in public is enchanted against scrying for this purpose.
What is Ven'axtha's alignment?
Probably somewhere around neutral! I do think he leans a bit more to neutral good, though.
No pressure tagging @wojtekbc, @cabinetmonger, and @holographicbutch!
#Me talking about Ven: He says This but actually the truth is This. Guy who can't say what he means fucking ever#I've said this before but. Ven: I'm mean and evil *gives candy to children*#The fear of people from Before finding him is why Galaewyn showing up scares him so much#If this relatively random guy found him#What does that mean for how easy it would be for people who would have a vendetta against Ven?#Ven'axtha hating baseless cruelty while having Lathlyria The Baseless Cruelty Machine at his beck and call is very fun to me#speaking of. ''get some hands dirty'' this mostly means Lath. Venny's most devoted soldier#Ven: Lath this random noble called me an idiot. Let's expose his fencing scheme with those pirates in the bay#Ven: Then you can go ahead and dangle him off the roof a bit#Lath: YES BOSSS!!! YIPPEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!

my dad watches this fucking show where its just clip after clip of people getting seriously but nonfatally injured and a 'celebrity panel' and audience and laughing at everything and its hosted by this fuckboy discount daniel tosh and its like. man just watch footage of industrial accidents at that point i think itd be less tacky
#its the laughter and jokes. like someone just fell out of a crane lift. they have a spinal injury#what if they just cut to a video of a machine shop and theres a large lathe and a man is approaching. would they laugh.

I just finished mounting this cute 80mm 3 jaw chuck on a W20 arbor for my lathe. The chuck is concentric to the arbor within 0.02mm which is not amazing but is better than the concentricity of the chuck itself so it’s fine.
Having it on an arbor is more convenient than a backplate and allows me to use it in my indexing head.
I also made the very badly finished chuck key pictured. I couldn’t be bothered to mill the square head so I just used a file.

I’ve finished the in-class portion of my machining pre-apprenticeship.
These were the projects we had, they include a spindle body, a Vee-block, a lathe tool-holder, and a C-clamp, in addition to a small fitting assignment.
‘The tool holder is probably my favourite. Though I made the mistake of breaking a tap inside one of the holes, I decided to keep it in as a reminder of all the lessons I’ve learned over this program.
