	This chart gives an idea of the vast number of different operations that can be performed using a lathe.
	NOTE may want to use RDPL lathe tools as Visual Aids.
	Turning tools.� Notice the left handed and right handed. Describes the side from which we approach.� Recall the discussions on tool geometry.� A right handed tool is designed to approach from the right side-- its geometry is set up based on the assumption of a right handed approach.� Don�t use it from the left hand side.� Similarly for the left handed tool.
	In general you have to know for what purposes a tool was designed.� Many grooving tools are made solely for plunge cutting-- they are not designed to cut transverse to the workpiece.
