Combination of Forming and Generating
Straight Turning
In straight turning, the tool is fed
parallel to the axis of rotation.
Facing
Tool is fed radially inward
Contour Turning
Instead of feeding the tool parallel
to the axis of rotation, tool follows
a contour that is other than
straight, thus creating a contoured
form
Chamfering
Cutting edge cuts an angle on the
corner of the cylinder, forming a
"chamfer"
Cutoff
Tool is fed radially into rotating work
at some location to cut off end of
part
Threading
Pointed form tool is fed linearly across
surface of rotating work part parallel
to axis of rotation at a large feed rate,
thus creating threads
Knurling
Knurling is used to produce
a regularly shaped
roughness/ crosshatched
pattern on the work
surface.
Turning related operations
Tapper Turning
An operation performed on a
lathe that feeds a tool at an
angle to the length of the
work piece in order to create
a conical shape.
Boring
• In fact, boring is an internal turning operation
• Difference between boring and turning:
• Boring is performed on the inside diameter of an
existing hole
• Turning is performed on the outside diameter of an
existing cylinder
Boring machines
• Horizontal or vertical - refers to the orientation of
the axis of rotation of machine spindle
