Lathe Operations

Krunal Patil presented a seminar on lathe operations. The seminar introduced the different types of operations that can be performed on a lathe including straight turning, taper turning, grooving, threading, and parting. Operations are categorized based on how the workpiece is held such as between centers, in a chuck, or using special attachments. Common operations that hold the workpiece between centers are straight turning, taper turning, and facing. Operations like drilling and boring typically hold the workpiece in a chuck. The seminar covered how different operations are performed and the basic requirements for each.

INTRODUCTION

Varieties of operations can be performed on lathe


Operations which are performed either by holding the workpiece bet centers or in chuck Operations which are performed by holding the work by chuck or face plate Operations which are performed by using special attachments

Operations which are performed either by holding the workpiece bet centers or in chuck, such as:
Straight turning Taper tuning Grooving Spinning Thread cutting Knurling Forming Facing Filing Polishing Eccentric turning Shoulder turning Spring winding Champhering

Operations which are performed by holding the work by chuck or face plate. Such as:
Drilling Reaming Internal thread cutting Taper boring Tapping Boring Counter boring Parting off

Operations which are performed by using special attachments. Such as:


Grinding Milling

CENTERING

60 degree counter sunk holes; called centers are drilled and reamed on both ends of the piece to be turned. These holes fit the 60 degree lathe centers and the work is thus supported.

FACING

The lathe operations of finishing the ends of the work to make the ends flat and smooth and to make piece of required length is called facing. It is also known as squaring.

STRAIGHT TURNING

Since the radii and consequently the diameters of the turned work are very where a perfect cylinder equal is obtained and the operation is known as straight turning.

Here the workpiece is supported bet centers and are driven by a driving plate and carrier. In this type of turning a cylindrical workpiece is prepared. Here the tool is imparted parallel movement by turning apron wind. The fundamental requirements of this operation are:
The dead center must be exactly in line with the live

center. The tool must be set correctly.

TAPER TURNING

There are basically three methods of turning tapers in a lathe: 1) By offsetting the tail stock 2) By using compound rest 3) By using taper turning attachments

By Offsetting the Tail stock

This method is suitable when the work is held bet the centers. In this method workpiece is rotated at an angle to the lathe axis and the tool is fed parallel to lathe axis.

By Using the Compound Rest

The tool can be fed at the angle by rotating compound slide screw as the compound slide rest is set at desired half taper angle.

By Using Taper Turning Attachments

It enables external and internal tapered surfaces with an angle of taper not exceeding 10 to 12. Fig shows the scheme.

The guide block linked to the lathe cross-slide with the help of long flat tie-bar which is bolted to guide block. The guide block can now freely slide along the guide bar. For taper turning, the cross slide must be disconnected from the saddle. Now with the help of longitudinal power feed of saddle, the guide block will slide along the guide bar.

PARTING

Parting is the operation by which one section of a workpiece is severed from the remainder by means of a cutoff tool.

This process is less accurate and more difficult.


The tool should be set exactly at the height of the axis of rotation The tool have to be kept sharp, have proper clearance angles, and be fed into the workpiece at a proper and uniform feed rate.

THREADING

Although most threads are now produced by other methods, lathes still provide the most versatile and fundamentally simple method.

There are two basic requirements for thread cutting.


An accurately shaped and properly mounted tool Longitudinal feed relative to rotation of w/p This requirement is met through the use of the lead screw and the split unit.

It provide positive motion of the carriage relative to the rotation of the spindle.

CONCLUSION
From this seminar we can conclude that lathe is very important m/c tool and many types of operations can be performed on it by using different tools and attachments
