Sometimes it is necessary to machine the outer surfaces of cylindrical works accurately in relation to a hole concentric that has been previously bored in the centre of the work. In such cases the work is mounted on a device known as a mandrel. Lathe mandrels are devices used to hold the job for machining on lathes. They are mainly used for machining outside diameters with reference to bores which have been duly finished by either reaming or boring on a lathe.
