Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Longitudinal feed refers to motion or movement parallel to the ways of the lathe, which is the direction in which the saddle moves when turning a long workpiece. Vertical and latitudinal feeds are not used in this motion, and while horizontal feed may be used for certain operations, this term specifically refers to motion perpendicular to the ways.
