I've never understood this. Turning is the process of removing material from the outer diameter. But how come all lathe operations also fall under "turning". Even though it's not proper English, I always say turning, facing, and boring are operations and that "lathing" is performing any of these operations.

Oh heeeyyy, thx you. :greddy:


But I need to pass emissions first, it's a year old :hatecat:

Sean just wants to turn tricks using his lathe.


or something.

He's trying to turn you.

I've heard people say "turn it on the lathe." I presume this is correct manufacturing lingo? The process of turning occurs on the lathe.

I can turn tricks with or without a lathe.


You should see what I can do on the mill.

It probably depends on how big they are and how fast you want to turn them.

I've never heard anyone say the word lathing ever. It's always turn, bore, face etc.

I also need to get off of this site before I dig out the half complete pile of turbo parts in my garage and get stupid ideas.

I have started using lathing as a verb everytime i talk to sean. It provides endless entertainment.

Does that make you a lather?

That would be interesting...

Aidan doesnt even recall that I have been using the verb form of lathe, or lathed in casual conversation with him as a joke for over a year.

Good troll is good.

Definitely want to see a video of that chip being made. Awesome.

The origin of the following may be a stretch for some of you. LMAO, this thread is really delivering.
