SYNOPSIS
INTRODUCTION

Lathe is the father of machine tools. The main functions of the lathe are to remove
metal from a piece of work to give it the required shape and size. The lathe is used to
machine cylindrical shapes. Primarily the lathe was designed to perform turning, facing and
boring operations on a cylindrical work piece. However, operations such as drilling,
reaming, tapping, knurling, grinding, milling, threading, tapering are possible on the lathe
when various cutting tools and attachments are used.

OBJECTIVES

 Our project design and fabrication of gear cutting attachment is used to cut gear or
splines over the cylindrical job.
 Our main aim is to prove lathe as a versatile machine and with the help of gear cutting
attachment the object is possible by lathe itself.

WORKING PRINCIPLE

Construction of gear cutting attachment is consists of guided rod, indexing plate with
pin and work piece on end of the shaft. The shaft is kept through the guided rod for holding
the work piece. Indexing plate fixed at one end of the guide shaft and work piece fixed in
another of that shaft. To guide of equal teeth done by the indexing pin which is used to place
and lock the work piece foe desired rotation for making gear cutting through the hole on the
indexing plate.

ADVANTAGES

 Simple assembly
 Easy installation on lathe machine
 cost of milling m/c is saved
 easily available by manufacturing
 Simple to operate.

APPLICATIONS

 Small scale industries
