Consider putting effort into learning more about what you are doing, and the tools you use to do it. With more information you can be more productive, and SAFER.
What are the materials you are turning on this lathe, how big in diameter and long are the parts? Are you using High Speed Steel tool "bits", or carbide insert toolholders with coated carbide inserts? If carbide, what are insert designations, speeds and feed rates are you running?
We can help to some degree if we know more about the processes, but we're not there with you.
