 STUDY OF LATHE MACHINE

INTRODUCTION TO LATHE MACHINE

Bed
Bed is mounted on the legs of the lathe which are bolted to the floor. It forms
the base of the machine. It is made of cast iron and its top surface is machined
accurately and precisely. Headstock of the lathe is located at the extreme left of the
bed and the tailstock at the right extreme. Carriage is positioned in between the
headstock and tailstock and slides on the bed guideways.

Headstock
Headstock is mounted permanently on the inner guideways at the left hand
side of the leg bed. The headstock houses a hollow spindle and the mechanism for
driving the spindle at multiple speeds. The headstock will have any of the following
arrangements for driving and altering the spindle speeds
(i) Stepped cone pulley drive
(ii) Back gear drive
(iii) All gear drive
Spindle
The spindle rotates on two large bearings housed on the headstock casting. A
hole extends through the spindle so that a long bar stock may be passed through the
hole. The front end of the spindle is threaded on which chucks, faceplate, driving
plate and catch plate are screwed. The front end of the hole is tapered to receive live
center which supports the work. On the other side of the spindle, a gear known as a
spindle gear is fitted.

Tailstock
Tailstock is located on the inner guideways at the right side of the bed
opposite to the headstock. The body of the tailstock is bored and houses the tailstock
spindle or ram. The spindle moves front and back inside the hole. The spindle has a
taper hole to receive the dead center or shanks of tools like drill or reamer. If the
tailstock handwheel is rotated in the clockwise direction, the spindle advances. The
spindle will be withdrawn inside the hole, if the handwheel is rotated in anti-
clockwise direction. To remove the dead center or any other tool from the spindle,
the handwheel is rotated in anticlockwise direction further. The movement of the
spindle inside the hole may be locked by operating the spindle clamp located on top
of the tailstock. In order to hold workpieces of different lengths.

The uses of tailstock

1. It supports the other end of the long workpiece when it is machined
between centers.
2. It is useful in holding tools like drills, reamers and taps when
performing drilling, reaming and tapping.
3. The dead center is offset by a small distance from the axis of the lathe
to turn tapers by set over method.
4. It is useful in setting the cutting tool at correct height aligning the
cutting edge with lathe axis.
Carriage
Carriage is located between the headstock and tailstock on the lathe bed
guideways. It can be moved along the bed either towards or away from the
headstock. It has several parts to support, move and control the cutting tool. The
parts of the carriage are:
a) saddle
b) apron
c) cross-slide
d) compound rest

Cross slide
Cross-slide is situated on the saddle and slides on the dovetail guideways at
right angles to the bed guideways. It carries compound rest, compound slide and tool
post. Cross slide handwheel is rotated to move it at right angles to the lathe axis. It
can also be power driven. The cross slide hand wheel is graduated on its rim to
enable to give known amount of feed as accurate as 0.05mm.

Compound rest

Compound rest is a part which connects cross slide and compound slide. It is
mounted on the cross-slide by tongue and groove joint. It has a circular base on
which angular graduations are marked. The compound rest can be swiveled to the
required angle while turning tapers. A top slide known as compound slide is attached
to the compound rest by dove tail joint. The tool post is situated on the compound
slide.
Tool post
This is located on top of the compound slide. It is used to hold the tools
rigidly. Tools are selected according to the type of operation and mounted on the tool
post and adjusted to a convenient working position. There are different types of tool
posts and they are:
1. Single screw tool post
2. Four bolt tool post
3. Four way tool post
4. Open side tool post

Types of Lathe Operations

Various operations are performed in a lathe other than plain turning. They are
1. Facing
2. Turning
a. Straight turning
b. Step turning
3. Chamfering
4. Grooving
5. Forming
6. Knurling
7. Undercutting
8. Eccentric turning
9. Taper turning
10. Thread cutting
11. Drilling
12. Reaming
13. Boring
14. Tapping
Facing
Facing is the operation of machining the ends of a piece of work to produce
flat Surface Square with the axis. The operation involves feeding the tool
perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the work. Facing operation is illustrated in Fig

Turning
Turning in a lathe is to remove excess material from the work piece to
produce a cylindrical surface of required shape and size.
Straight turning
 The work is turned straight when it is made to rotate about the lathe axis and
the Tool is fed parallel to the lathe axis. The straight turning produces a cylindrical
surface by removing excess metal from the work pieces.

Step turning
Step turning is the process of turning different surfaces having different
diameters. The work is held between centers and the tool is moved parallel to the
axis of the lathe. It is also called shoulder turning.
Chamfering
Chamfering is the operation of beveling the extreme end of the work piece.
The form tool used for taper turning may be used for this purpose. Chamfering is an
essential operation after thread cutting so that the nut may pass freely on the threaded
work piece

Knurling
Knurling is the process of embossing a diamond shaped pattern on the surface
of the work piece. The knurling tool holder has one or two hardened steel rollers with
edges of required pattern. The tool holder is pressed against the rotating work. The
rollers emboss the required pattern. The tool holder is fed automatically to the
required length. Knurls are available in coarse, medium and fine pitches. The
patterns may be straight, inclined or diamond shaped.
Eccentric turning
If a cylindrical work piece has two separate axes of rotating, one being out of
center to the other, the work piece is termed as eccentric and turning of different
surfaces of the work piece is known as eccentric turning. Eccentric turning is shown
in Fig. The distance between the axes is known as offset. Eccentric turning may also
be done on some special machines. If the offset distance is more, the work is held by
means of special centers. If the offset between the centers is small, two sets of
centers are marked on the faces of the work. The work is held and rotated between
each set of centers to machine the eccentric surfaces.

Taper turning
Taper
A taper may be defined as a uniform increase or decrease in diameter of a
piece of work measured along its length.

(i) Compound rest method

The compound rest of the lathe is attached to a circular base graduated in
degrees, which may be swiveled and clamped at any desired angle. The angle of
taper is calculated using the formula.
𝐷−𝑑
Tan ∝ =
2𝐿
Where
∝ = Half taper angle
D = Major diameter of the work piece in mm
d = Minor diameter of the work piece in mm
L = Length of the taper in mm.
The compound rest is swiveled to the angle calculated as above and clamped. Feed is
given to the compound slide to generate the required taper.

(ii) Tailstock set over method

Turning taper by the set over method is done by shifting the axis of rotation of
the work piece at an angle to the lathe axis and feeding the tool parallel to the lathe
axis. The construction of tailstock is designed to have two parts namely the base and
the body. The base is fitted on the bed guide ways and the body having the dead
center can be moved at cross to shift the lathe axis.

The amount of set over –(s), can be calculated as follows

𝐷−𝑑
S = 𝐿×
2𝑙
Where
s - Amount of set over
D – Larger diameter
d – Smaller diameter
L - Length of the work
l – Length of the taper

The dead center is suitably shifted from its original position to the calculated
distance. The work is held between centers and longitudinal feed is given by the
carriage to generate the taper the advantage of this method is that the taper can be
turned to the entire length of the work. Taper threads can also be cut by this method.
The amount of set over being limited, this method is suitable for turning small tapers
(approx. up to 8°). Internal tapers cannot be done by this method.
Thread cutting
Thread cutting is one of the most important operations performed in a lathe.
The Process of thread cutting is to produce a helical groove on a cylindrical surface
by feeding the tool longitudinally.
1. The job is revolved between centers or by a chuck. The longitudinal
feed should be Equal to the pitch of the thread to be cut per revolution
of the work piece. The advantage of this method is that long tapers can
be machined. As power feed can be employed, the work is completed
at a shorter time. The disadvantage of this method is that internal tapers
cannot be machined.
2. The carriage should be moved longitudinally obtaining feed through
the lead screw of the lathe.
3. A definite ratio between the longitudinal feed and rotation of the
headstock spindle should be found out. Suitable gears with required
number of teeth should be mounted on the spindle and the lead screw.
4. A proper thread cutting tool is selected according to the shape of the
thread. It is mounted on the tool post with its cutting edge at the lathe
axis and perpendicular to the axis of the work.
5. The position of the tumbler gears are adjusted according to the type of
the thread (right hand or left hand).
6. Suitable spindle speed is selected and it is obtained through back gears.
7. Half nut lever is engaged at the right point as indicated by the thread
chasing dial.
8. Depth of cut is set suitably to allow the tool to make a light cut on the
work.
9. When the cut is made for the required length, the half nut lever is
disengaged. The carriage is brought back to its original position and the
above procedure is repeated until the required depth of the thread is
achieved.

INTRODUCTION TO SHAPER MACHINE

Base
It is rigid and heavy cast iron body to resist vibration and takes up high
compressive load. It supports all other parts of the machine, which are mounted over
it. The base may be rigidly bolted to the floor of the shop or on the bench according
to the size of the machine.
Column
The column is a box shaped casting mounted upon the base. It houses the
ram-driving mechanism. Two accurately machined guide ways are provided on the
top of the column on which the ram reciprocates.
Cross rail
Cross rail of shaper has two parallel guide ways on its top in the vertical plane
that is perpendicular to the rai1 axis. It is mounted on the front vertical guide ways of
the column. It consists mechanism for raising and lowering the table to accommodate
different sizes of jobs by rotating an elevating screw which causes the cross rail to
slide up and down on the vertical face of the column.
Saddle
The saddle is located on the cross rail and holds the table on its top. Crosswise
movement of the saddle by rotation the cross feed screw by hand or power causes the
table to move sideways.
Table
 The table is a box like casting having T -slots both on the top and sides for
clamping the work. It is bolted to the saddle and receives crosswise and vertical
movements from the saddle and cross rail.
Ram
It is the reciprocating part of the shaper, which reciprocates on the guideways
provided above the column. Ram is connected to the reciprocating mechanism
contained within the column.
Tool head
The tool head of a shaper performs the following functions-
(1) It holds the tool rigidly,
(2) It provides vertical and angular feed movement of the tool, and
(3) It allows the tool to have an automatic relief during its return stroke.
The various parts of tool head of shaper are apron clamping bolt, clapper box, tool
post, down feed, screw micrometer dial, down feed screw, vertical slide, apron
washer, apron swivel pin, and swivel base. By rotating the down feed screw handle,
the vertical slide carrying the tool gives down feed or angular feed movement while
machining vertical or angular surface. The amount of feed or depth of cut may be
adjusted by a micrometer dial on the top of the down feed screw. Apron consisting of
clapper box, clapper block and tool post is clamped upon the vertical slide by a
screw.
Operations performed in a shaping machine
Different types of operations are performed in a shaping machine. They are
broadly classified as 1. Regular operations 2. Special operations
Machining horizontal surfaces
A shaper is mostly used to machine a flat, true surface on a work piece.
Horizontal surfaces are machined by moving the work mounted on the machine table
at a cross direction with respect to the ram movement. The clapper box can be set
vertical or slightly inclined towards the uncut surface. This arrangement enables the
tool to lift automatically during the return stroke. The tool will not drag on the
machined surface
Machining vertical surfaces
A vertical cut is made while machining the end of a work piece, squaring up a
block or machining as holder. The feed is given to the tool by rotating the downfeed
screw of the vertical slide. The table is not moved vertically for this purpose.
The apron is swiveled away from the vertical surface being machined as shown in
the diagram.

 STUDY OF MILLING MACHINE

INTRODUCTION TO MILLING MACHINE

Milling is the machining process of using rotary cutters to remove material

from a workpiece advancing (or feeding) in a direction at an angle with the axis of
the tool. Milling is a cutting process that uses a milling cutter to remove material
from the surface of a workpiece. The milling cutter is a rotary cutting tool, often with
multiple cutting points.
Two major classes of milling process:
1. In face milling, the cutting action occurs primarily at the end corners of the
milling cutter. Face milling is used to cut flat surfaces (faces) into the
workpiece, or to cut flat-bottomed cavities.
2. In peripheral milling, the cutting action occurs primarily along the
circumference of the cutter.
Milling Machine Parts and their Function
Base
The base of the machine is Grey iron casting accurately machined on its top
and bottom surface and serves as a foundation member for all the other parts which
rest upon it. It carries the column at its one end. In some machines, the bage is
hollowed and working as a reservoir for cutting fluid.
Column
 The column is the main supporting frame mounted vertically on the bage. The
column is box shaped. Heavily ribbed inside and houses all the driving mechanisms
for the spindle and table feed. The front vertical face of the column is accurately
machined and is provided with dovetail guide ways of supporting knee. The top of
the column is finished to hold an over-arm that extends outward at the front of the
machine.
Knee
The knee is the rigid gray iron casting that slides up and down on the vertical
way of the column face. The adjustment of height is effected by elevating screw on
the base that also supports the knee. The knee houses the feed mechanism of the
table, and in different controls to operate it. The top face of the knee forms slid way
for the saddle to provide cross travel of the table.
Saddle
The saddle is placed on the top of the knee, which slides on guide ways set
exactly at 90 to column face. A cross feed screw near the top of the knee engages a
nut of the bottom of the saddle to move it horizontally, by hand or power, to apply
cross feed. The top of the saddle is accurately machined to provide guide ways for
the table.

Table
The table rest on ways on the saddle and travels longitudinally. The top of the
table is accurately finished and T-slots are provided for clamping the work and other
fixtures on it. A lead screw under the table engages a nut on the saddle to move the
table horizontally by hand or power. The longitudinal travel of the table may be
limited by fixing trip dogs on the side of the table. In universal machines, the table
may also be swiveled horizontally. For this purpose the table is mounted on a
circular bage which in its turn is mounted on the saddle. The circular bage is
graduated in the degree.
Over Hanging Arm
Over hanging arm is mounted on the top of column extends beyond the column
face and serve as a bearing support may be provided nearest to the cutter. More than
one bearing support may be provided for the arbor.
Front Brace
The front brace is an extra support that is fitted between the knee and over arm to
ensure further rigidity to the arbor and the knee. The front brace is slotted to allow
for adjustment of the height of the knee relative to over arm.

Spindle
The spindle of the machine is locates in the upper part of the column and receive
power from the motor through belts, gears and clutches and transmit it to the arbor
the front end of the spindle just projects from the column face and it is provided
with a tapered hole into to which various cutting tools and arbors may be inserted.
 The accuracy in metal machining by the cutter depends on primarily accuracy,
strength and rigidity of the spindle.

Arbor
An arbor is considered as an extension of the machine spindle on which
cutters are securely mounted and rotated. The arbors are made with taper shanks for
proper alignments with machine spindles having taper hole on their nose.

Fundamental milling processes

The various milling processes may be grouped under two headings:
1. Peripheral milling 2. Face milling
1. Peripheral milling
The machining is performed by the cutting edges on the periphery of the
milling cutter. It is classified under two headings
1. Up milling 2. Down milling
I. Up milling
In this method, the workpiece mounted on the table is fed against the direction
of rotation of the milling cutter. The cutting force is minimum during the beginning
of the cut and maximum at the end of cut. The thickness of chip is more at the end of
the cut. As the cutting force is directed upwards, it tends to lift the workpiece from
the fixtures.
A difficulty is felt in pouring coolant on the cutting edge. Due to these reasons the
quality of the surface obtained by this method is wavy. This processes being safer is
commonly used and sometimes called conventional milling.
II. Down milling
The workpiece mounted on the table is moved in the same direction as that of
the rotation of the milling cutter. The cutting force is maximum at the beginning and
minimum at the end of cut. The chip thickness is more at the beginning of the cut.
The workpiece is not disturbed because of the bite of the cutter on the work. The
coolant directly reaches to the cutting point. So the quality of surface finish obtained
is high. Because of the backlash error between the feed screw of the table and the
nut, vibration is setup on the workpiece.
