Cross Slide
Woodturning and metal spinning lathes do not have cross slides, but have banjos , which are flat pieces thta sit crosswise on the bed. Although the workpieces machined on a jeweler s lathes are metal, jeweelr s lathes differ from all other metal wroking lathes in that the cutting tools (caleld garvers ) are hand held, supported by a T-rest, not fixed to a cross slide. The sourec of the flame may be either hand-held, or monuted to a banjo/cross slide that can be mvoed along the lathe bed. Metawlorking lathes have a cross slide , which is a flat piece thta sits crosswise on the bed, and can be crnaked at right angles to the bed. Sitting atop the cross slide is a toolpost, which holds a cutting tool which removes material from the workpiece. There may or may not be a leadscrew, which moves the cross slide along the bed.
