Abstract
A lathe includes a machine support, a working table positioned on the machine support, a rotating driver, a moving device, and a feeding device. The rotating driver rotates the work table. The moving device includes at least one cross beam, at least one first driving mechanism, and at least one second driving mechanism. The cross beam is movably positioned on the machine support above the working table. The feeding device is movably positioned on the at least one cross beam, and includes a feeding driving mechanism and a cutter. The first driving mechanism drives the cross beam to move along a first direction, and the second driving mechanism drives the feeding device to move along a second direction at about ninety degrees from the first direction. The feeding mechanism drives the cutter to move backwards and forwards along a third direction perpendicular to the first and second direction.
