The hobbyist starts by constructing a small foundry capable of melting silicon-aluminum and zinc alloys from recycled automotive parts. Then green sand castings are used to make a metal lathe. The lathe is the first machine built since it can be used to help build itself. The lathe and foundry are then used to make more complicated machine tools.

A lathe faceplate is a basic workholding accessory for a wood or metal turning lathe. It is a circular metal (usually cast iron) plate which fixes to the end of the lathe spindle . The workpiece is then clamped to the faceplate, typically using t-slot nuts in slots in the faceplate, or less commonly threaded holes in the faceplate itself.
Then in 1997, LeBlond Lathe Parts was founded to focus on the service and support of all LeBlond lathe equipment manufactured since 1887. In 1998, after acquiring the W. F. & John Barnes Company, the company's name was changed to LeBlond Ltd to reflect a broader business purpose. LeBlond continued its acquisition strategy by acquiring the ...
Henry Maudslay's early screw-cutting lathes of circa 1797 and 1800.. A screw-cutting lathe is a machine (specifically, a lathe) capable of cutting very accurate screw threads via single-point screw-cutting, which is the process of guiding the linear motion of the tool bit in a precisely known ratio to the rotating motion of the workpiece.
Thus a 2-axis CNC lathe is not referred to as an "automatic lathe" even if fully automated. Small- to medium-sized cam-operated automatic lathes are usually called screw machines or automatic screw machines. These machines work on parts that (as a rough guide only) are up to 80 millimetres (3.1 in) in diameter and 300 millimetres (12 in) in length.
In 1985, the 600 Group acquired parts of Clausing. The Clausing brand is still used today. [6] The 600 Group, which had earlier also acquired the British Colchester and T.S. Harrison lathe brands (in 1954 and 1971, respectively), [7] also recombined the branding to include the Clausing Colchester (North America only) and Colchester Harrison names.
Durden and Co. [1] commenced business as general engineers to the automotive industry in 1948. The founder Frank Reginald Durden produced his first woodworking machine, a thickness planner, in 1951.
