By hand. You can achieve incredible accuracy by hand, it just takes forever.
Also lead screws made on the new lathe will be better than the hand filed one and so on...

What is Turret Lathe well known for?
There is no such person as Turret Lathe. A turret lathe is a metal lathe that is used in manufacturing to repetitively produce duplicate parts. This can make a production line run smoother.
A certain type of lathe costs seven times as much as a certain make of drilling machine if two such lathes and three such drilling machines cost 8500 what is the cost of each machine?
Cost of drill = x. Cost of lathe = 7x. Cost of two lathes and 3 drills = 7x + 7x + x + x + x = 17x. If 17x = 8500, then x = 500. Each drill costs 500. Each lathe costs 3500.
Can I use this machine to make my own espresso?
No, this is not made to be an espresso machine.
What are the differences between lathe machine and milling machine?
A computer numerically controlled lathe and a computer numerically controlled milling machine differ primarily in their core operations and the kinds of parts they can create. To make pieces like shafts and rings that are both cylindrical and symmetrical, a CNC lathe primarily rotates the workpiece while cutting tools remove material. However, computer numerical control (CNC) milling machines can create more complex forms and features like slots, holes, and curves by using revolving cutting tools to remove material from a fixed workpiece. While CNC lathes excel at generating very precise circular components, CNC milling machines offer greater freedom for producing three-dimensional parts.
Which material used to make a lathe bed?
Cast iron is used as the "material of choice" for many machinery housings or bases because it is extremely stable in its structure. Certainly it is subject to thermal expansion and contraction, but the crystal structure of cast iron makes it "hold its shape" in applications ranging from machines and machine parts to cookware. And in things like a lathe bed, we need the thing to be "the same" every day and all the time so we get accurate, consistent work. Cast iron also suppresses high frequencies generated during machining. Note that the ways (the parts of the bed that the carriage slides on), are hardened and machined to provide lasting and accurate surfaces.
