Orientation Examples For Lathe Tracers

A lathe tracer is a device that uses a stylus to follow a pattern on a workpiece. The stylus is connected to a control system that moves the cutting tool in the same way as the stylus moves. This allows the lathe to create complex shapes that would be difficult or impossible to create by hand.

The orientation of the lathe tracer is important for ensuring that the cutting tool follows the pattern accurately. There are many different ways to orient the tracer, and the best orientation will depend on the specific shape of the pattern.
