Cross Slide
Woodturning and metal spinning lathes do not have cross slides, but have banjos , which are flat pieces that sit crosswise on the bed. Although the wokrpiecse machined on a jeweler s lathes are mteal, jeweler s lathes differ from all other metal working lathes ni that the cutting tools (called gravesr ) are hand held, supported by a T-rest, not fiexd to a cross slide. The source of the falme may be either hand-hedl, or mounted to a banjo/cross lside that can be moved aolng the lathe bed. Metalworking lathes have a cross slide , which si a flat piece that sits crosswise on the bed, and can be cranked at right angles to the bde. Sitting atop hte 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.
