QUALITY POLICY
Machining is an essential process of finishing by which jobs are produced to the desired
dimensions and surface finish by gradually removing the excess material from the preformed blank in
the form of chips with the help of cutting tool moved past the work surface. The blank and the cutting
tool are properly mounted and moved in a powerful device called machine tool enabling gradual
removal of layer of material from the work surface resulting in its desired dimensions and surface
finish. Additionally some environment called cutting fluid is generally used to ease machining by
cooling and lubrication.
Machine Tools basically produce geometrical surfaces like flat, cylindrical or any contour on
the preformed blanks by machining work with the help of cutting tools. The physical functions of a
Machine Tool in machining are: firmly holding the blank and the tool, transmit motions to the tool
and the blank A machine tool is a non-portable power operated and reasonably valued device or
system of devices in which energy is expended to produce jobs of desired size, shape and surface
finish by removing excess material from the preformed blanks in the form of chips with the help of
cutting tools moved past the work surface.

To study the following
Types of Lathe Operations
Types of Shaper Operations
Types of Drilling Operations
Types of Milling Operations
Various operations are performed in a lathe other than plain turning. They are
1. Facing 7. Undercutting
2. Turning 8. Eccentric turning
a. Straight turning 9. Taper turning
b. Step turning 10. Thread cutting
3. Chamfering 11. Drilling
4. Grooving 12. Reaming
5. Forming 13. Boring
6. Knurling 14. Tapping
Facing is the operation of machining the ends of a piece of work to produce flat
surface square with the axis. The operation involves feeding the tool perpendicular to the
axis of rotation of the work. Facing operation is illustrated in Fig.
1.2.2. Turning
The work is turned straight when it is made to rotate about the lathe axis and the
tool is fed parallel to the lathe axis. The straight turning produces a cylindrical surface by
removing excess metal from the workpieces.
1.2.5. Chamfering
Chamfering is the operation of bevelling the extreme end of the workpiece. The form
tool used for taper turning may be used for this purpose. Chamfering is an essential
operation after thread cutting so that the nut may pass freely on the threaded workpiece
1.2.6. Knurling
Knurling is the process of embossing a diamond shaped pattern on the surface of the
workpiece. The knurling tool holder has one or two hardened steel rollers with edges of
required pattern. The tool holder is pressed against the rotating work. The rollers emboss
the required pattern. The tool holder is fed automatically to the required length.
Knurls are available in coarse, medium and fine pitches. The patterns may be
straight, inclined or diamond shaped.
Taper
A taper may be defined as a uniform increase or decrease in diameter of a piece of
work measured along its length.
A broad nose tool is ground to the required length and angle. It is set on the work by
providing feed to the cross-slide. When the tool is fed into the work at right angles to the
lathe axis, a tapered surface is generated.
This method is limited to turn short lengths of taper only. The length of the taper is
shorter than the length of the cutting edge. Less feed is given as the entire cutting edge will
be in contact with the work.
(ii) Compound rest method
The compound rest of the lathe is attached to a circular base graduated in degrees,
which may be swiveled and clamped at any desired angle.
D-d
tan Ø = ----------
2l
Where
D – Larger diameter
d – Smaller diameter
l – Length of the taper
Ø - Half taper angle
The compound rest is swiveled to the angle calculated as above and clamped. Feed
is given to the compund slide to generate the required taper
(iii) Tailstock setover method
Turning taper by the setover method is done by shifting the axis of rotation of the
workpiece at an angle to the lathe axis and feeding the tool parallel to the lathe axis. The
construction of tailstock is designed to have two parts namely the base and the body. The
base is fitted on the bed guideways and the body having the dead centre can be moved at
cross to shift the lathe axis.
D-d
s = L x --------
2l
Where
The dead centre is suitably shifted from its original position to the calculated
distance. The work is held between centres and longitudinal feed is given by the carriage
to generate the taper The advantage of this method is that the taper can be turned to the
entire length of the work. Taper threads can also be cut by this method.
The amount of setover being limited, this method is suitable for turning small tapers
(approx. upto 8°). Internal tapers cannot be done by this method.]
1.2.10. Grooving
Grooving is the process of cutting a narrow goove on the cylindrical surface of the
workpiece. It is often done at end of a thread or adjacent to a shoulder to leave a small
margin. The groove may be square, radial or bevelled in shape
1.2.11 Forming
Forming is a process of turning a convex, concave or any irregular shape. For turning
a small length formed surface, a forming tool having cutting edges conforming to the
shape required is fed straight into the work.
1.2.12 Undercutting
Undercutting is done
(i) at the end of a hole
(ii) near the shoulder of stepped cylindrical surfaces
(iii) at the end of the threaded portion in bolts
It is a process of enlarging the diameter if done internally and reducing the diameter
if done externally over a short length. It is useful mainly to make fits perfect. Boring tools
and parting tools are used for this operation.
2.1 Operations performed in a shaping machine
Different types of operations are performed in a shaping machine. They are broadly
classified as 1. Regular operations 2. Special operations
A shaper is mostly used to machine a flat, true surface on a work piece. Horizontal
surfaces are machined by moving the work mounted on the machine table at a cross
direction with respect to the ram movement. The clapper box can be set vertical or slightly
inclined towards the uncut surface. This arrangement enables the tool to lift automatically
during the return stroke. The tool will not drag on the machined surface
A vertical cut is made while machining the end of a workpiece, squaring up a block or
machining ashoulder. The feed is given to the tool by rotating the downfeed screw of the
vertical slide. The table is not moved vertically for this purpose. The apron is swiveled
away from the vertical surface being machined as shown in the diagram.\
3.1.2 Reaming
The size of hole made by drilling may not be accurate and the internal surface will not
be smooth. Reaming is an accurate way of sizing and finishing a hole which has been
previously drilled by a multi point cutting tool known as reamer.The surface obtained
by reaming will be smoother and the size accurate. The speed of the spindle is made
half that of drilling. Reaming removes very small amount of metal ( approx 0.375
mm). In order to finish a hole and bring it to the accurate size,the hole is drilled
slightly undersize.
3.1.3 Boring
Boring is the operation enlarging the diameter of the previously made hole. It is done
for the following reasons.
1. To enlarge a hole by means of an adjustable cutting tool. This is done when a
suitable sized drill is not available or the hole diameter is so large that is cannot be
ordinarily drilled.
2. To finish a hole accurately and bring it to the required size
3.1.4 Counterboring
3.1.7 Tapping
Tapping is the operation of cutting internal threads by means of a cutting tool called
‘tap’. Tapping in a drilling machine may be performed by hand or by power. When
the tap is screwed into the hole, it removes metal and cuts internal threads which will
fit into external threads of the same size
3.1.8 Trepanning
Trepanning is the operation of producing a hole in sheet metal by removing metal
along the circumference of a hollow cutting tool. Trepanning operation is performed
4.2.12 Boring
A single point cutting tool is mounted on the arbor to perform boring. By adjusting
the single point cutting tool radially, different diameters of bores are machined.
Date:
Bed
Bed is mounted on the legs of the lathe which are bolted to the floor. It forms the base
of the machine. It is made of cast iron and its top surface is machined accurately and
precisely. Headstock of the lathe is located at the extreme left of the bed and the tailstock at
the right extreme. Carriage is positioned in between the headstock and tailstock and slides
on the bed guideways.
The top of the bed has flat or ‘V’ shaped guideways. The tailstock and the carriage
slides on these guideways. Inverted ‘V’ shaped guideways are useful in better guide and
accurate alignment of saddle and tailstock. The metal burrs resulting from turning operation
automatically fall through. Flat bed guideways can be found in older machine tools. It is
useful in heavy machines handling large workpieces. But then the accuracy is not high.
Headstock
Headstock is mounted permanently on the inner guideways at the left hand side of
the leg bed. The headstock houses a hollow spindle and the mechanism for driving the
spindle at multiple speeds. The headstock will have any of the following arrangements for
driving and altering the spindle speeds
FRANCIS XAVIER ENGINEERING COLLEGE,
DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING, 36
MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY LAB-I-MANUAL
(i) Stepped cone pulley drive
(ii) Back gear drive
(iii) All gear drive
Spindle
The spindle rotates on two large bearings housed on the headstock casting. A hole
extends through the spindle so that a long bar stock may be passed through the hole. The
front end of the spindle is threaded on which chucks, faceplate, driving plate and catch plate
are screwed. The front end of the hole is tapered to receive live center which supports the
work. On the other side of the spindle, a gear known as a spindle gear is fitted. Through this
gear, tumbler gears and a main gear train, the power is transmitted to the gear on the
leadscrew
Tailstock
Tailstock is located on the inner guideways at the right side of the bed opposite to the
headstock. The body of the tailstock is bored and houses the tailstock spindle or ram. The
spindle moves front and back inside the hole. The spindle has a taper hole to receive the
dead centre or shanks of tools like drill or reamer. If the tailstock handwheel is rotated in
the clockwise direction, the spindle advances. The spindle will be withdrawn inside the
hole, if the handwheel is rotated in anti-clockwise direction.
To remove the dead centre or any other tool from the spindle, the handwheel is
rotated in anticlockwise direction further. The movement of the spindle inside the hole may
be locked by operating the spindle clamp located on top of the tailstock.In order to hold
workpieces of different lengths, the tailstock can be locked at any desired position on the
lathe bed. Tailstock clamping bolts and clamping pates are used for this purpose.
Tailstock is designed to function as two units-the base and the body. The base of the
tailstock is clamped to the bed. The body is placed on the base and can be made to slide
sidewards-perpendicular to the bed guideways upto a certain distance
Compound rest:
Compound rest is a part which connects cross slide and compound slide. It is mounted
on the cross-slide by tongue and groove joint. It has a circular base on which angular
graduations are marked. The compound rest can be swiveled to the required angle while
turning tapers. A top slide known as compound slide is attached to the compound rest by
dove tail joint. The tool post is situated on the compound slide.
Tool post:
This is located on top of the compound slide. It is used to hold the tools rigidly. Tools
are selected according to the type of operation and mounted on the tool post and adjusted
to a convenient working position. There are different types of tool posts and they are:
1. Single screw tool post
2. Four bolt tool post
3. Four way tool post
4. Open side tool post
Single screw tool post
The tool is held by a screw in this toolpost. It consists of a round bar with a slotted
hole in the centre for fixing the tool by means of a setscrew. A concave ring and a convex
rocker are used to set the height of the tool point at the right position. The tool fits on the
flat top surface of the rocker. The tool post is not rigid enough for heavy works as only one
clamping screw is used to clamp the tool. A single screw toolpost is illustrated in Fig 1.6
Four way tool post
This type of tool post can accommodate four tools at a time on the four open sides of
the post. The tools are held in position by separate screws and a locking bolt is located at
the centre. The required tool may be set for machining by swiveling the tool post.
Machining can be completed in a shorter time because the required tools are pre-set.

14. The type of the machine
The cutting speed of a tool is the speed at which the metal is removed by the tool
from the work piece. In a lathe, it is the peripheral speed of the work past the cutting
tool expressed in meters/minute
(i) Cutting speed (V) = π DN/1000, m/min
Where, D = Diameter of the work in min
N = RPM of the work
(ii) Feed:
The feed of a cutting tool in a Lathe work is the distance the tool
advances for each revolution of the work. Feed is expressed in mm/rev.
(iii) Depth of cut:
The depth is the perpendicular distance measured from the machined
surface to the uncut surface of the work piece.
While using HSS tool for turning mild steel work piece. The following
parameters are to be chosen.
(iv) Rough Turning Operation:
Cutting speed (V) = 25m/min,
feed(f) = 0.2 mm/rev,
Depth of cut(t) = 1 mm
(v) Finish turning operation:
Cutting speed (V) = 40m/min,
feed(f) = 0.1 mm/rev,
Depth of cut(t) = 0.2 mm
(vi) Tool geometry:
Back rake angle = 70,
End relief angle = 60
Side relief angle = 60,
End cutting edge angle = 150
Side cutting edge angle = 150,
Nose radius = 2 mm
Date:
Base
It is rigid and heavy cast iron body to resist vibration and takes up high compressive load. It
supports all other parts of the machine, which are mounted over it. The base may be rigidly
bolted to the floor of the shop or on the bench according to the size of the machine.
Column
The column is a box shaped casting mounted upon the base. It houses the ram-driving
mechanism. Two accurately machined guide ways are provided on the top of the column on
which the ram reciprocates.
Cross rail
Cross rail of shaper has two parallel guide ways on its top in the vertical plane that is
perpendicular to the rai1 axis. It is mounted on the front vertical guide ways of the column.
It consists mechanism for raising and lowering the table to accommodate different sizes of
jobs by rotating an elevating screw which causes the cross rail to slide up and down on the
vertical face of the column. A horizontal cross feed screw is fitted within the cross rail and
parallel to the top guide ways of the cross rail. This screw actuates the table to move in a
crosswise direction
Saddle
The saddle is located on the cross rail and holds the table on its top. Crosswise movement of
the saddle by rotation the cross feed screw by hand or power causes the table to move

MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY LAB-I-MANUAL
sideways.
Table
The table is a box like casting having T -slots both on the top and sides for clamping the
work. It is bolted to the saddle and receives crosswise and vertical movements from the
saddle and cross rail.
Ram
It is the reciprocating part of the shaper, which reciprocates on the guideways provided above
the column. Ram is connected to the reciprocating mechanism contained within the column.
Tool head
The tool head of a shaper performs the following functions-
(1) It holds the tool rigidly,
(2) It provides vertical and angular feed movement of the tool, and
(3) It allows the tool to have an automatic relief during its return stroke.
The various parts of tool head of shaper are apron clamping bolt, clapper box, tool post, down
feed, screw micrometer dial, down feed screw, vertical slide, apron washer, apron swivel pin,
and swivel base. By rotating the down feed screw handle, the vertical slide carrying the tool
gives down feed or angular feed movement while machining vertical or angular surface. The
amount of feed or depth of cut may be adjusted by a micrometer dial on the top of the down
feed screw. Apron consisting of clapper box, clapper block and tool post is clamped upon the
vertical slide by a screw. The two vertical walls on the apron called clapper box houses the
clapper block, which is connected to it by means of a hinge pin. The tool post is mounted
upon the clapper block. On the forward cutting stroke the clapper block fits securely to the
clapper box to make a rigid tool support. On the return stroke a slight frictional drag of the
tool on the work lifts the block out of the clapper box a sufficient amount preventing the tool
cutting edge from dragging and consequent wear. The work surface is also prevented from
any damage due to dragging.
SPECIFICATION OF A SHAPER
The size of a shaper is specified by the maximum length of stroke or cut it can make. Usually
the size of shaper ranges from 175 to 900 mm. Besides the length of stroke, other particulars,
such as the type of drive (belt drive or individual motor drive), floor space required, weight of
the machine, cutting to return stroke ratio, number and amount of feed, power input etc. are
also sometimes required for complete specification of a shaper.
Cutting speed
The distance an object travels in a particular period of time is known as speed. In a
shaper, the cutting speed is the speed at which the metal is removed by the cutting tool in a
period of one minute. In a shaper, the cutting speed is considered only during the forward
cutting stroke. This is expressed in metre per minute.
The cutting speed differs to suit different different machining conditions like work
material, the finish required, the type of the tool and the rigidity of the machine.
Depth of cut
Depth of cut (t) is the thickness of metal that is removed during machining. It is the
perpendicular distance measured between the machined surface and the uncut surface of the
FRANCIS XAVIER ENGINEERING COLLEGE,
DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING, 41
MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY LAB-I-MANUAL
workpiece. It is expressed in mm or in inches.
Feed
Feed (S) is the relative movement of the work or tool in a direction perpendicular to
the axis of reciprocation of the ram per double stroke. It is expressed in mm per stroke.

PROCEDURE
Job setting:
The job is held in three jaw automatic chuck and is tightened by using chuck key such
that ¾ of the length is projected outside the chuck
Tool setting:
The single point cutting tool is held on the tool post. The tool is adjusted so that the tool
tip must coincide with the lath axis. This can be done by keeping the tip nearer to the dead
center of tailstock and then adjusted.
Facing:
Facing is an operation on lathe which is used to bring the length of the cylinder to
required dimension. Rough facing is done first and then smooth facing is done
Now carriage is moved parallel to the job by giving a depth of cut by means of cross
slide. Reducing the diameter to the required shape does the turning
Marking:
Chalk is applied on the surface of the job by using Jenny caliper, Mark the required
dimensions on the job
2. The job is turned to the size of the major diameter of the thread to be cut
3. The accurately shaped thread tool is checked with the help of thread template or
centre gauge and mounted in the tool post (It must be ensured that the top of the
cutting tool is horizontal and is in line with the axis of the rotation of the job)
P=LxI
I= (z1/Z2) x (z3/Z4) = P / L
5. The driver and driven gears are changed according the calculation. ( The speed of the
job is reduced to one third or one fourth of the job speed used in turning operation)
6. To start cutting a thread, the tool is fed inward until it first scratches the surface of
the job.
8. The spilt nut (half nut) is then engaged and the tool moves over the desired job
length. At the end of the tool travel, it is quickly withdrawn by means of cross slide.

9. The split nut is disengaged and the carriage is returned to the starting portion, for the
next cut.
10. The successive cuts are continued until the thread reaches its desired depth
11. Finally the dimensions of the work piece and pitch of the thread are again checked
Note:
-The tool can be fed radially or at an angle of 290 by swiveling the compound rest
- The depth of the first cut is usually 0.25 to 0.40 mm. This is gradually decreased
for the successive cuts until for the final finishing cut; it is usually 0.027 to 0.075
mm
- For right hand thread, the lead screw rotates in clock wise direction and for left
hand thread; it rotates in anti clock wise direction
Longitudinal feed of the tool = Pitch of the thread to be cut per revolution of the
work piece
`A definite ratio between the longitudinal feed and rotation of the headstock
spindle
should be found out so that the relative speeds of rotation of the work and the
lead screw will result in the cutting of a thread of the desired pitch.
This is affected by change gears arranged between the spindle and the lead screw

VI. ( if the thread is cut openly partially through the hole move the carriage by hand to the point
where the thread will end. Mark the line on the lathe bed with a piece of chalk or a pencil.
During thread cutting, this reference line will indicate that the tool bit has reached the end
opf the thread length so that the operator can open split nut lever and stop carriage)
Cutting the threads
Set the micro meter collar of the cross feed a zero.
a. Turn the compound rest feed out until the point of tool just touches the work piece.
Set the micrometer collar at zero
b. Then the same general procedure is followed us explained for cutting the external
threads
Note:
1. The cross feed must be turned in rather than out when opening the split nut at the end of
the threading
2. If a recess was already machined at the end o=f the threaded area, the split nut can be
opened with put turning in the cross slide to stop the carriage however the cross feed must
be turned in before moving the carriage back for the next cut.

Knurling
KNURLING THEORY:
Knurling is the process of embossing a diamond shaped pattern of the surface of a work
piece. The purpose of knurling is to provide an effective gripping surface on a work piece to
proven it from slipping when operated by hand. Knurling is performed by a special knurling
tool which consists of a set of hardened steel rollers in a holder with the teeth cut on their
surface in a definite pattern. The tool is held rigidly on the tool post and the rollers are
pressed against the revolving surface of work piece to squeeze the metal against the multiple
cutting edges, producing depressions in a regular pattern on the surface of the work piece.
Knurling is done at the slowest speed and oil is flowed on the tool and work piece. Knurling
is done at the slowest speed and oil is flowed on the tool and work piece to dissipate heat
generated during knurling. The feed varies from 1 to 2 mm per revolution.

tool tip must coincide with the lath axis. This can be done by keeping the tip nearer to the
dead center of tailstock and then adjusted.
Facing:
Facing is an operation on lathe which is used to bring the length of the cylinder to
required dimension. Rough facing is done first and then smooth facing is done
Plain turning
Now carriage is moved parallel to the job by giving a depth of cut by means of cross
slide. Reducing the diameter to the required shape does the turning
Marking:
Chalk is applied on the surface of the job by using Jenny caliper, Mark the required
dimensions on the job
Knurling Procedure:
1. HSS single point cutting tool is replaced by the knurling tool and knurling
operation is performed at the slowest speed of the spindle.
2. The knurling tool with required pattern is selected and it is held tightly in the tool post
3. The knurling tool is pressed against the surface of the work piece and it produces
pattern on the surface of the work piece
65
Machining Time Estimation for Knurling:
Number of passes used is generally one or maximum two (one for roughing and one for
finishing.)
RESULT
Thus the diamond shaped pattern is embossed on the surface of a work piece by
Knurling operation

Eccentric turning
Marking
If a cylindrical workpiece has two separate axes of rotating, one being out of centre
to the other, the workpiece is termed as eccentric and turning of different surfaces of
the workpiece is known as eccentric turning. Eccentric turning is shown in Fig. The
distance between the axes is known as offset. Eccentric turning may also be done on
some special machines. If the offset distance is more, the work is held by means of
special centres. If the offset between the centres is small, two sets of centres are
marked on the faces of the work. The work is held and rotated between each set of
centres to machine the eccentric surfaces.
67
Fig 1 & 2: The off-cut was placed between one of the 3 jaw chuck jaws
68
PROCEDURE
1. First a piece of bar was turned to the required outside diameter (22mm in this
example)
2. Next a piece of packing material was made to give the required offset for the
eccentric in the 3 jaw chuck
P = 5 x 1.5 = 7.5mm
This means that a piece of packing of 7.29mm against one jaw of the 3 jaw chuck
should give the required offset of 5mm.
4. The off-cut was placed between one of the 3 jaw chuck jaws
5. In this setting the hole for the axle was centre drilled, drilled and reamed to size
6. To finish the part was reversed in the chuck and the working surface was finished to
final thickness.
69
Machining Time Estimation for Eccentric turning:
Number of passes used is generally one or maximum two (one for roughing and one for
finishing.)
RESULT
Thus the required size and shape of the given work piece is obtained by Eccentric
turning operation.
