The document describes various lathe operations including: facing, turning, taper turning, chamfering, parting, threading, drilling, boring, knurling, and spinning. Facing involves machining a flat surface across the face of a workpiece. Turning removes material from cylindrical and conical external surfaces by rotating the workpiece as the tool is fed parallel to the axis of rotation. Taper turning produces a conical surface by feeding the tool at an angle to the workpiece axis. Chamfering bevels the edges of a workpiece. Parting separates one section of a workpiece from the rest using a cutoff tool. Threading produces threads on the outer surface of a cylindrical workpiece using a specific
