 Diagram of a Lathe with explanantion of components

lathe is a machine tool that rotates a work piece about an axis of rotation to perform various operations such as cutting, sanding, knurling, drilling, deformation, facing, and turning, with tools that are applied to the work piece to create an object with symmetry about that axis.

Facing off is taking the metal at the end of the 
work to make it flat. 
turning down is where you reduce the diameter of the work
