Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The quick-change gearbox is the component that directly transmits power to the leadscrew. It converts the rotational motion of the lathe's spindle into the linear motion of the leadscrew, which then drives the carriage and the cutting tool. The compound rest is a tool post that holds the cutting tool and can be adjusted to set the angle of the tool relative to the workpiece. The cutting tool is used to shape the workpiece, and the workpiece is the material being worked on. None of these components directly transmit power to the leadscrew.
