Centre lathe

TWO TYPES OF LATHE CUTTING TOOLS


HOW TO CENTRE THE CUTTING TOOL
Lathe operations
1. Simple turning
The most common operation
which is done on the lathe is
turning. The work piece is
held between the centres or
in the chuck and revolves on
its axis. The tool is held in
the tool post and moves
Producing a parallel to the axis of the
Cylindrical Surface
work piece and produce
cylindrical surface.
2.Step turning
• In step turning the rod is turned different
diameters at different lengths.
3. Facing
Facing is an operation of
machining the end of the
work piece and reducing
it to a specific length

FACING OFF
Facing off
operation
4. Parting off
• Parting is an operation of cutting off
material in the required length after it has
been machined. When parting off
operation reduce the spindle speed (ie. ½
of the normal speed)
5. Grooving or necking
Groove or neck is cut on a
shaft to terminate a thread
or to provide adequate
clearance for mating parts.
(use forming tool)
6. Knurling • The purpose of knurling
is to provide an
effective gripping
surface on a work
piece to prevent it from
slipping when operated
by hand. Knurling is
the process of
embossing different
patterns on the surface.
7.Taper turning
There are several methods of taper turning.
(a) Taper turning with
compound rest
Guiding the tool at a
suitable angle by
feeding it with the
compound slide set at
that angle.

Spur Gears

The gears opposite are called


spur gears because they mesh
together. Gear ‘A’ is called the
‘driver’ because this is turned by a
motor. As gear ‘A’ turns it meshes
with gear ‘B’ and it begins to turn
as well. Gear ‘B’ is called the
‘driven’ gear.
• Gear ‘A’ has 30 teeth and gear ‘B’ has 20
teeth. If gear ‘A’ turns one revolution, how
many times will gear ‘B’ turn ?

Compound train
1.If the motor turns in a clockwise direction, which direction will gear X turn ?
2.What is the name of the gear arrangement shown in the diagram above ?
3.The motor turns at 180 rpm. How fast will gear Y turn ?
