 WORKING PROCESS OF
PARTING
§Parting uses a blade-
like cutting tool
plunged directly into
the work piece to cut
off the work piece at
a specific length

CYLINDRICAL
qFacing is the process of
removing metal from the
end of a work-piece to
produce a flat surface.
qMost often, the work-
piece is cylindrical, but
using a 4-jaw chuck you
can face rectangular or
 SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS
vWhen a lathe cutting tool removes
metal it applies considerable
tangential (i.e. lateral or sideways)
force to the work piece.
vTo safely perform a facing operation
the end of the work piece must be
positioned close to the jaws of the
chuck.
vThe work piece should not extend
