Chucks
Jobs of short length and large diameter
or of irregular shape, which cannot be conveniently mounted between centers, are held quickly and rigidly in a chuck. There are a number of types of lathe chucks, e.g. (1) Three jaws or universal (2) Four jaw independent chuck (3) Magnetic chuck (4) Collet chuck (5) Air or hydraulic chuck operated chuck

Faceplates
Used to hold work too large or shaped
so it cannot be held in chuck or between centers permit use of bolts to secure work may be aligned with lathe centers when work mounted off center to Prevent imbalance and resultant vibrations

Mandrel
Holds internally machined workpiece
There are several types of mandrels and they are: 1. Plain mandrel 2. Step mandrel 4. Collar mandrel 5. Cone mandrel

Plain mandrel
The body of the plain mandrel is slightly tapered to provide proper gripping of the workpiece. The taper will be around 1 to 2mm for a length of 100mm.

Centres
Centres are useful in holding the work in
a lathe between centres. The shank of a centre has Morse taper on it and the face is conical in shape. There are two types of centres namely

RESTS
A rest is a mechanical device to support a
long slender workpiece when it is turned between centres or by a chuck. prevent the workpiece from bending due to its own weight and vibrations setup due to the cutting force.
Steady rest
Steady rest is made of cast iron. It may be made to slide on the lathe
bedways and clamped at any desired position where the workpiece needs support.

FOLLOWER REST
It consists of a C like casting having two
adjustable jaws to support the workpiece. The rest is bolted to the back end of the carriage. During machining, it supports the work and moves with the carriage. So, it follows the tool to give continuous support to the work to be able to machine along the entire length of the work.
