Wood Lathe Diagram

Here’s a labeled diagram of a typical wood lathe:

🛠 Main Components of a Wood Lathe:

1. Headstock – Houses the motor and spindle, which rotates the wood.
2. Spindle – The rotating shaft that holds the workpiece (for spindle turning) or a faceplate/chuck (for bowl turning).
3. Tailstock – Supports the end of the workpiece and can hold a live center or drill bit.
4. Tool Rest – Adjustable support for guiding your turning tools.
5. Bed – The horizontal frame connecting the headstock and tailstock.
6. Banjo – The movable base that holds the tool rest and allows for positioning adjustments.
7. Speed Control – Adjusts the spindle speed for different turning tasks.
