removal operation with tools, to produce desired shape and size of the work pieces • The purpose of machine tool is to save the time, cost of production and to get better output which can not be obtained with hand tools • Ex: lathes, shapers, planers, drilling machines and grinding machines etc ENGINE CENTRE LATHE Lathe • The lathe is one of the most important machines in any workshop • Its main objective is to remove material from outside by rotating the work against the cutting tool • Lathe is used to produce cylindrical jobs • Also used for drilling, threading, grinding and milling etc Working principle of lathe Working principle of lathe • The work piece is held in a chuck or between centres and rotated about its axis at a uniform speed • The cutting tool is held in the tool post is fed into a work piece for a desired depth and in the desired direction • Material is removed in form of chips and the desired shape is obtained. Types of lathes • Speed lathe • Engine or centre lathe • Tool room lathe • Capstan and turret lathe • Automatic lathe • Special purpose lathe CARRAIGE ASSEMBLY CARRAIGE ASSEMBLY SPLIT NUT ASSEMBLY FOUR JAW CHUCK COLLET CHUCK COLLET CHUCK THREE JAW CHUCK LIVE AND DEAD CENTRES LIVE CENTER TAIL STOCK SINGLE POINT CUTTUNG TOOL LATHE TOOLS KNURLING TOOL LATHE OPERATIONS MACHINING PROPERTIES • FEED: The distance by which the tool advanced between two consecutive cuts. • Depth Of cut : The advancement of the tool into workpiece in transverse direction. • Cutting Speed: The speed at which the spindle is rotating and machining is being done.
