Shaft-turn′er.
A lathe for turning long rods for shafting. The shaft is held between two tailcen-ters and dressed off longitudinally by a series of annular cutters secured to a slide-rest. The shaft may be rotated, in which case the cutters in the annular holder will be modified to suit the direction of cut. See also duplex lathe, Fig. 1803, page 763.Shaft-turning lathe. |
