A Comprehensive Analysis of Lathe Machine Usage and Hammer Fabrication in Metalworking

Abstract: This paper explores the operation of a lathe machine and the process of crafting a handcrafted hammer through various metalworking techniques. The study began with an introduction to the lathe machine, its parts, and safe handling procedures. The initial task involved reducing the diameter of a metal rod using a lathe machine, focusing on turning, facing, and cutting operations. After mastering these techniques, the second task was to create a hammer by cutting, polishing, measuring, and drilling a metal bar. Each step of the hammer-making process was carefully executed, always ensuring precision and safety. Throughout the experiment, we followed strict safety protocols to avoid injuries. This research highlights the importance of hands-on training, attention to detail, and safety when working with lathe machines and metalworking tools.
