Machine Tool
• Machine Tool: A specific type of machine which gives
desired size, shape & finish to a raw material by removing
the excess material in the form of small chips
• Cutting Tool: A tool which removes the excess material
through a direct mechanical contact
• Machine tool provides the relative motion between the
work piece & cutting tool
• Metal cutting or Machining process: A method used for
obtaining the desired size, shape & finish to a raw material
by removing the excess material in the form of small chips
• Machine Tools: Lathe M/C, Drilling M/C, Grinding M/C,
Milling M/C, Shaper M/C etc.

Precautions on Lathe Machine
• Be ready with: Work specifications (Drawing), Raw
material, Tools, Instruments etc.
• Live center, dead center & tip of cutting tool must be
in one plane
• Work piece must be fixed firmly & centered correctly
in chuck
• Don’t forget to remove the chuck key
• Work is always rotated towards the operator
• Use the coolant
• Wear apron, shoes during operations
Machining Terms
• Cutting Speed:
– The speed at which the cutting edge of tool machines the surface of work piece
– [V = πDN, m/min]
– As the diameter of work piece changes, the cutting speed also changes & is
maximum at outer diameter
• Cutting Feed or Feed:
– The rate at which cutting tool moves into the surface of work piece
• Depth of cut:
– The difference between uncut & cut surface
– The depth of cut is always measured at right angles to the feed direction of
cutting tool
– [d = (D1-D2)/2]
• The quality of jobs produced depends on;
– Rotating speed
– Depth of cut
– Feed
Cutting Tools
• Single or multipoint cutting tools
• Material: High speed stainless steel [HSS]
