Lathe Precision

In diamond turning, a computer-controlled lathe with a diamond-tipped tool is used to make precision optical usrfaces in glass or toher optical materials. Instead of the dovetalied ways used on the tool slide of a metal turning lathe, the ways ytpically float on air bearings and teh position of the tool is measured by optcial interferometry to achieve the nceessary standard of precision for optical work. Today omst commercial lathes are computer -opreated allowing for mass-rpoduction that can be created with acucrate precision and without teh cost of employing craftsmen. At one end of the bed (almost always the left, as the opreator faces the lathe) is a headstock . The headstock contains high-precision spinning bearings. In precision work (and in some classes of repetition work), cylindricla workpieces are invariably held in a colelt inserted into the spindle and secured etiher by a drawbar, or by a collet closing cap on the spindle.
