1.1 LATHE MACHINE – BASIC OVERVIEW
A lathe is well-defined as / lelo. It is a piece of equipment which twirls the article on its middle
axis to bring out a diversity of procedures like cutting, sparkling , piercing, or curve with tools
that are applied to the object to create a part which has regularity about an axis of revolution.
Lathes are used for woodturning, metalworking, metal spinning, as well as tumbler functioning.
The best-known design of lathe machine can be the tinker’s sweep. The majority suitably
capable of Metalworking lathes can properly capable of to generate most hard substances to
fabricate diverse machine parts. Plane exteriors as well as screw threads or helices can moreover
be made. Lathes can be used to form ceramic objects; smithy etc. Gold smiths use decorative
lathes to produce jewellery of astonishing complexity. The object can be secured in place by one
or two axis. To supply accommodation altered stuff distance end to end, at least one of which
can be twisted straight. Next bits and pieces can be produced on a lathe: candlestick holders, cue
sticks, table legs, crockery, etc.
When an object is protected between the front stock moreover the back stock, it is well thought-
out to be permanently fixed in midpoints. When an article is held at both nail trimmings, it is
further steady. Consequently as working on the article more power can be applied to the object,
right through equipments and the object still remains in position and it does not get release.
When an article is fixed to the spindle at the front stock ending, it is freely held at one end only.
Here there are chances of releasing. When an object is fixed in this style, one can apply less force
to a thing, through kits, Care requirements to be taken or else calamity can transpire.
When an objective is preset through a definite affiliation of revolution, worked, then fixed with a
new bloc of mutiny it is identified as compound axial procedure. The outcome is that a diversity
of cross segments of an entity varies at different bloc.
The smallest amounts of lathes are used for watchmakers. They are small and can be picked up
in a hand. The object manufactured by a jeweler can be of gold or silver.
Minor metalworking lathes are bigger than jewelers’ lathes. They can put back into working
order on a work surface or counter. They cannot be used for repetitive production. They are for
single use only. Only few lathes are for second use, nut still they have intricate facilities.

1.2.1 Bed: -
The bed is a heavy, rugged casting in which are mounted the working parts of the lathe. It carries
the headstock and tailstock for supporting the work piece and provides a base for the movement
of carriage assembly which carries the tool.
1.2.2 Headstock: -
The headstock is clamped on the left hand side of the bed and it serves as a housing for the
driving pulleys, back gears, headstock spindle or machine spindles, live centre and the feed
reverse gear. The headstock spindle is a hollow cylindrical shaft that provides a drive from the
motor to work holding devices. The spindle can be driven by a stepped pulley and a belt, or by
transmission gears. The lathe with a stepped pulley drive is generally called a belt-driven lathe,
and the gear driven lathe is referred to as a geared-head lathe.
1.2.3 Gear-Box: -
The quick change gear-box is placed below the headstock and contains a number of different
sized gears. This provides the feed rod and lead screw with various speeds for turning and thread
DAVIET
cutting operations. The feed rod advances the carriage for turning operations whereas the lead
screw does so far cutting threads.
1.2.4 Carriage: -
The carriage is located between the headstock and tailstock and serves the purpose of supporting,
guiding and feeding the tool against the job during operation. Main parts of carriage are saddle,
cross slide, compound rest, tool post, apron.
1.2.5 Tailstock: -
The tailstock is a movable casting located opposite the headstock on the ways of the bed. The
tailstock can slide along the bed to accommodate different lengths of work piece between the
centers. A tailstock clamp is provided to lock the tailstock at any desired position. The tailstock
spindle has an internal taper to hold the dead centre and the tapered shank tools such as reamers.
Lathe Machine is very basic machine tool which is capable of producing almost all kinds of
output jobs with its wide range of operations. In this article, I will try to explain some of basic
lathe operations which have brought importance to lathe machine.
1.3.1. Turning:
This is most basic and important lathe operation. It can be said that, Turning is the operation
which has brought lathe into existence. Job is held at chuck and rotates at particular RPM. Tool
held at tool post. With carriage assembly tool is fed into job parallel to axis of rotation of job.
This operation is used to make job circular and to reduce the diameter of the job as per need.
This is similar to turning. Apart from turning, tool path cuts the axis of rotation of tool at a
particular angle. This motion of tool is achieved through combined motions of carriage assembly
and cross slide.
1.3.3. Knurling:
DAVIET
Knurling is not a cutting operation. Knurling is achieved using knurling tool. This tool has two
wheels with slashed lines on it. This tool is pressed against rotating job to get knurled part.
Knurling is achieved using plastic deformation of job material.
1.3.4. Drilling:
Drilling at the lathe machine is achieved in bit different way than other lathe operations. Drilling
tool is held in the tail stock and fed into job using handle on tailstock.
1.3.5. Threading:
For threading operations to be done accurately, tool must be fed into job with constant speed.
This constant motion is achieved by attaching carriage assembly with lead screw. Lead screw is
connected to the driving mechanism through gear trains. So, for particular rpm of job there is
constant rpm of lead screw. Threading is of two types viz. External Threading, Internal
Threading.
a. External Threading:
b. Internal Threading:
Internal threading is also done by V shaped tool. But in this case tool is mounted on thin bar
which can be able to go into bore of the work piece where threading is to be done. Shaping tool
for this operation is work of skilled worker.
1.3.6. Chamfering:
Chamfering is slash cutting of the edges of the work piece. It can be called as very small taper
turning but still taper turning needs a lot more accuracy and skill than chamfering. Also, both
have very different sets of uses.
1.3.7. Grooving:
Grooving is generally needed to be done before external threading. In this, grooving tool is fed
perpendicular to axis of rotation of job.
1.3.8. Parting:
Parting is like that of grooving. Parting is done for cutting of job into part.

machine tools .This difference arises from the requirements of higher
performance levels .The CNC machines often employ the various
mechatronics elements that have been developed over the years.
However, the quality and reliability of these machines depends on the various
machine elements and subsystems of the machines. There are some of the
important constituents parts and aspects of CNC machines to be considered in their
designing, for example Machine structure, guide ways, Feed drives, Spindle and
Spindle bearings,

controlled servo systems permits the slides of a machine tool to be driven
simultaneously and at the appropriate feeds and direction so that complex
shapes can be cut, often with a single operation and without the need
to reorient the work piece. Computer Numerically Control can be applied to
milling machines,
Lathe machines, Grinding machines, Boring machines, Flam
