MACHINE SHOP
INTRODUCTION
In.amachine shop, metals are cut to shape on different machine tools. A lathe is used to
cut and shape the metal by revolving the work against a cutting tool. The work is
clamped either in a chuck, fitted on to the lathe spindle or in-between the centers. The
cutting tool is fixed in a tool post, mounted on a movable carriage that is positioned on
the lathe bed. The cutting tool can be fed on to the work, either lengthwise or cross-wise,
While turning, the chuck rotates in counter-clockwise direction, when viewed from the
tail stock end.
Principal parts of a Lathe
Figure 4.1 shows a center lathe, indicating the main parts. The name is due to the fact
that work pieces are held by the centers.
Bed
Itis an essential part of a lathe, which must be strong and rigid. It carries all parts of the
machine and resists the cutting forces. The carriage and the tail stock move along the
guide ways provided on the bed. It is usually made of cast iron.
Head stock
1t contains either a cone pulley or gearings to provide the necessary range of speeds
and feeds. It contains the main spindle, to which the work is held and rotated.
Tail stock
Itis used to support the right hand end of a long work piece. It may be clamped in any
Position along the lathe bed. The tail stock spindle has an internal Morse taper to
receive the dead center that supports the work. Drills, reamers, taps may also be fitted
'nto the spindle, for performing operations such as drilling, reaming and tapping
Carriage or Saddle
"is used to control the movement of the cutting tool. The carriage assembly consists of

the longitudinal slide, cross slide and the compound slide and apron. The cross slide
|
\
moves across the length of the bed and perpendicular to the axis of the spindle. This
movement is used for facing and to provide the necessary depth of cut while turning,
The apron, which is bolted to the saddle, is on the front of the lathe and contains the
longitudinal and cross slide controls.- Jai Parkash Mukand Lal Innovative Engineering & Technology

tothe tail stock. It is geared to the spindle and controls the movement of the tool, ether

Centers
There are two centers known as dead center and live center, The dead center is
positioned in the tail stock spindle and the live center, inthe head-stock spindle. While
turning between centers, the dead center does not revolve with the work while the live
center revolves with the work.

often called the boring operation in which a hole pre ee
eviously drilled is enlarged. For
s
tuming long work, first it should be faced and cer r
supported by means of the tail-stock centre.
2.Boring
Boring is enlarging a hole and is used when correct size drill is not available, However. it
should be noted that boring cannot make a hole.
3.Facing
Fe
2 is a machining operation, performed to make the end surface of the work piece,
flat and perpendicular to the axis of rotation. For this. the work piece may be held ina
chuck and rotated about the lathe axis. A facing tool is fed perpendicular to the axis ofthe
lathe, The tool is slightly inclined towards the end of the work piece.
4.Taper Turning
Ataper is defined as the uniform change in the diameter of a work piece measured along
itstength, Ie is expressed as a ratio of the difference in diameters to the length. It is also
half the included (taper) angle, Taper turning refers to the

«Knurling
{tis the process of embossing a diamond shaped regular pattern on the surface of a work
piece using a special knurling tool. This tool consists of a set of harder
ed steel rollers in a
holder with the teeth cut on their surface ina d
finite pattern. The tool is held rigidly on
the tool post and the rollers are pressed against the revolving work piece to squeeze the
metal against the multiple
