INTRODUCTION

Production or manufacturing can be simply defined as value addition processes by which


raw materials of low utility and value due to its inadequate material properties and poor or irregular
size, shape and finish are converted into high utility and valued products with definite dimensions,
forms and finish imparting some functional ability. Manufacturing Technology Lab includes various
lathe and shaper- machining operations.A metal rod of irregular shape, size and surface is converted
into a finished rod of desired dimension and surface by machining by proper relative motions of the
tool-work pair.

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.

FRANCIS XAVIER ENGINEERING COLLEGE,


DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING, 15
MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY LAB-I-MANUAL.
1.2.1. Facing

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

Turning in a lathe is to remove excess material from the workpiece to produce a


cylindrical surface of required shape and size.

1.2.3. Straight 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.

1.2.4. Step turning


Step turning is the process of turning different surfaces having different diameters.
The work is held between centres and the tool is moved parallel to the axis of the lathe. It
is also called shoulder turning.

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.

1.2.7. Eccentric turning


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.

1.2.8. Taper turning

Taper
A taper may be defined as a uniform increase or decrease in diameter of a piece of
work measured along its length.

Taper turning methods

1. Form tool method


2. Compound rest method
3. Tailstock setover method
4. Taper turning attachment method
5. Combined feed method

(i) Form tool method

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.

The angle of taper is calculated using the formula

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.

The amount of setover –(s), can be calculated as follows

D-d
s = L x --------
2l

Where

s - Amount of setover D – Larger diameter


d – Smaller diameter L - Length of the work
l – Length of the taper

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.]

(iv) Taper attachment method


The taper attachment consists of a bracket which is attached to the rear end of the
lathe bed. It supports a guide bar pivoted at the centre. The bar having graduation in
degrees may be swiveled on either side of the zero graduation and set at the desired angle
to the lathe axis. A guide block is mounted on the guide bar and slides on it. The cross
slide is made free from its screw by removing the binder screw. The rear end of the cross
slide is tightened with the guide block by means of a bolt. When the longitudinal feed is
engaged, the tool mounted on the cross slide will follow the angular path as the guide
block will slide on the guide bar set at an angle of the lathe axis. The depth of cut is
provided by the compound slide which is set parallel to the cross-slide.
(v) Combined feed method
Feed is given to the tool by the carriage and the cross-slide at the same time to move
the tool at resultant direction to turn tapers.

1.2.9 Thread cutting


Thread cutting is one of the most important operations performed in a lathe. The
process of thread cutting is to produce a helical groove on a cylindrical surface by feeding
the tool longitudinally.
1. The job is revolved between centres or by a chuck. The longitudinal feed should be
equal to the pitch of the thread to be cut per revolution of the work piece.
The advantage of this method is that long tapers can be machined. As power feed
can be employed, the work is completed at a shorter time. The disadvantage of this method
is that internal tapers cannot be machined.
2. The carriage should be moved longitudinally obtaining feed through the leadscrew
of the lathe.
3. A definite ratio between the longitudinal feed and rotation of the headstock spindle
should be found out. Suitable gears with required number of teeth should be mounted on
the spindle and the leadscrew.
4. A proper thread cutting tool is selected according to the shape of the thread. It is
mounted on the toolpost with its cutting edge at the lathe axis and perpendicular to the axis
of the work.
5. The position of the tumbler gears are adjusted according to the type of the thread
(right hand or left hand).
6. Suitable spindle speed is selected and it is obtained through back gears.
7. Half nut lever is engaged at the right point as indicated by the thread chasing dial.
8. Depth of cut is set suitably to allow the tool to make a light cut on the work.
9. When the cut is made for the required length, the half nut lever is disengaged. The
carriage is brought back to its original position and the above procedure is repeated until
the required depth of the thread is achieved.
10. After the process of thread cutting is over, the thread is checked by suitable
Gauges

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

2.2.1 Machining horizontal surfaces

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

2.2.2 Machining vertical surfaces

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.\

2.3 Special operations


Apart from machining horizontal, vertical and vertical flat surfaces, the shaping
machine can do some special machining operations
2.3.1 Machining dove tail groove
Dove tail joint is machined on two separate pieces of work as male and female
elements. The required shape is marked on the face of the work and the unwanted metal is
first removed by the round nose tool. A special form tool is used to finish the machining.
2.3.2 Machining a ‘V’ block
The required shape of a ‘V’ block is marked on the face of the work and machining
is done by any suitable method of angular machining.
2.3.3 Machining a tongue and groove joint
The male and female elements of the tongue and groove joint having vertical surfaces
is machined after the exact shape is marked on the face of the work.

Various shaper operations


1. Inclined surface 2. Concave surface 3. ‘V’ groove 4. Deep slot 5. Horizontal surface
6. Vertical surface 7. Step cut surface
2.3.4 Machining external keyways
Machining external keyways refers to the cutting of long slots along the length of
cylindrical rods. Initially a round nose tool is used and then a square nose tool is used to
finish the operation. A hole of depth equal to the depth of the keyway is made at the blind
end to leave a clearance to the tool at the end of the stroke. When a keyway is cut at the
middle of the shaft, holes are drilled at both ends of the keyway.

2.3.5 Machining internal keyways


Internal keyways are cut inside the holes of gears and pulleys. It is done by holding
the tool on a special tool holder called ‘snout bar’. The snout bar is directly fitted on the
the clapper block.

2.3.6 T-slot machining


The shape of the T-slot is marked on the face of the work. A parting off tool is fitted
on the toolpost and a rectangular slot is machined at the middle for the required depth
3. 1. Types of Drilling Operations

Though drilling is the primary operation performed in a drilling machine, a number of


similar operations are also performed on holes using different tools.The different
operations that can be performed in a drilling machine are:
1. Drilling 6. Spot facing
2. Reaming 7. Tapping
3. Boring 8. Trepanning
4. Counterboring
5. Countersinking
3.1.1 Drilling
Drilling is the operation of producing a cylindrical hole of required diameter and
depth by removing metal by the rotating edge of a cutting tool called drill. Drilling is
one of the simplest methods of producing a hole. Drilling does not produce an
accurate hole in a workpiece. The internal surface of the hole generated by drilling
becomes rough and the hole is always slightly oversize due to vibration of the spindle
and the drill. A hole made by a drill of size 12mm will measure approximately upto
12.125mm and by a drill of size 22mm will measure upto 22.5mm.

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

FRANCIS XAVIER ENGINEERING COLLEGE,


DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING, 28
MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY LAB-I-MANUAL
3. To machine the internal surface of the hole already produced in casting
4. To correct out of roundness of the hole
5. To correct the location of the hole as the boring tool follows independent path with
respect to the hole Boring tool is a tool with only one cutting edge. The tool is held in
a boring bar which has a taper shank to fit into the spindle or a socket. For perfectly
finishing a hole, the job is drilled undersize slightly. Boring operation in some precise
drilling machine is performed to enlarge the holes to an accuracy of 0.00125mm. The
spindle speed during boring should be adjusted to be lesser than that of reaming

3.1.4 Counterboring

Counterboring is the operation of enlarging the end of the hole


cylindrically. The enlarged hole formsa square shoulder with the original hole. This is
necessary in some cases to accommodate the heads of bolts, studs and pins. The tool
used for counter boring is known as counter bore. The counterbores are made with
cutting edges which may be straight or spiral. The cutting speed for counterboring is
atleast 25% lesser than that of drilling
3.1.5 Countersinking
Countersinking is the operation of making a cone shaped enlargement at the end of the
hole. The included angle of the conical surface may be in the range of 60° to 90°. It is
used to provide recess for a flat headed screw or a counter sunk rivet fitted into the
hole. The tool used for counter sinking is known as a countersink.

FRANCIS XAVIER ENGINEERING COLLEGE,


DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING, 29
MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY LAB-I-MANUAL
3.1.6 Spot facing
Spot facing is the operation of smoothing and squaring the surface around a hole. It is
done to provide proper seating for a nut or the head of a screw. A counterbore or a
special spot facing tool may be employed for this purpose.

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

FRANCIS XAVIER ENGINEERING COLLEGE,


DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING, 30
MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY LAB-I-MANUAL
for producing large holes. Fewer chips are removed and much of the material is saved
while the hole is produced. The tool may be operated at higher speeds. The speed
depends upon the diameter of the hole to be made. The tool resembles a hollow tube
having cutting edges at one end and a solid shank at the other to fit into the drill
spindle.

4.1 Fundamental milling processes


The various milling processes may be grouped under two headings:
1. Peripheral milling 2. Face milling
4.1.2 Peripheral milling
The machining is performed by the cutting edges on the periphery of the milling
cutter.
It is classified under two headings
1. Up milling 2. Down milling
4.1.2.1 Up milling
In this method, the workpiece mounted on the table is fed against the direction of
rotation of the milling cutter. The cutting force is minimum during the beginning of
the cut and maximum at the end of cut. The thickness of chip is more at the end of the
cut. As the cutting force is directed upwards, it tends to lift the workpiece from the
fixtures. A difficulty is felt in pouring coolant on the cutting edge. Due to these
reasons the quality of the surface obtained by this method is wavy. This processes
being safer is commonly used and sometimes called conventional milling.
4.1.2.2 Down milling
The workpiece mounted on the table is moved in the same direction as that of the
rotation of the milling cutter. The cutting force is maximum at the beginning and
minimum at
the end of cut. The chip thickness is more at the beginning of the cut. The workpiece
is not
disturbed because of the bite of the cutter on the work. The coolant directly reaches to
the
cutting point. So the quality of surface finish obtained is high. Because of the backlash
error
between the feed screw of the table and the nut, vibration is setup on the workpiece.

Ex.No.2 INTRODUCTION TO LATHE MACHINE

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

The uses of tailstock


1. It supports the other end of the long workpiece when it is machined between
centres.
2. It is useful in holding tools like drills, reamers and taps when performing drilling,
reaming and tapping.
3. The dead centre is off set by a small distance from the axis of the lathe to turn
tapers by set over method.
4. It is useful in setting the cutting tool at correct height aligning the cutting edge with
lathe axis.
Carriage
Carriage is located between the headstock and tailstock on the lathe bed guideways.
It can be moved along the bed either towards or away from the headstock. It has several
parts to support, move and control the cutting tool. The parts of the carriage are :
a) saddle
b) apron
c) cross-slide
d) compound rest
Cross slide:
Cross-slide is situated on the saddle and slides on the dovetail guideways at right
angles to the bed guideways. It carries compound rest, compound slide and tool post. Cross
FRANCIS XAVIER ENGINEERING COLLEGE,
DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING, 37
MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY LAB-I-MANUAL
slide handwheel is rotated to move it at right angles to the lathe axis. It can also be power
driven. The cross slide hand wheel is graduated on its rim to enable to give known amount of
feed as accurate as 0.05mm.

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.
e) compound slide
f) tool post

SPECIFICATION OF LATHE
The size of a lathe is specified by the following points
1. The length of the bed
2. Maximum distance between live and dead centres.
3. The height of centres from the bed

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,

Ex.No.3 INTRODUCTION TO SHAPER MACHINE

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
FRANCIS XAVIER ENGINEERING COLLEGE,
DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING, 40
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.

METAL CUTTING PARAMETERS-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.

Thread cutting procedure:

1. The job is either mounted between centers or held in chuck

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)

4. Calculate the change gear calculation as follows

P=LxI

Where, P= pitch of the screw thread

L=Pitch of the Lead screw

I= change gear ratio

I= (z1/Z2) x (z3/Z4) = P / L

Z1 & Z2 = Number of teeth on driver gears

The single point cutting tool is held on the toll post. The tool is adjusted so that the tool tip must
coincide with the lathe axis. This is can be done by keeping the tip nearer to the dead center of
tailstock and then adjusted.
Facing:
Facing is on 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 the carriage is moved parallel to the job by giving a depth of cut by means of cross slide. This is
done for reducing the outer diameter to the required dimension.
Marking
Chalk is applied on the surface of the job. By using jenny caliper, mark the required dimension on the
job
Drilling
The drill bit of required dimension is fitted in the tail stock and center hole is made by drilling
operation.
Boring
When the internal surface of a hollow part is turned that is a single point tool is used for enlarging a
hole. The operation is called boring. The single single point tool for this purpose is mounted on a bar
called “boring bar” The drilled hole is finished by boring operation. Boring is done for precision
sizing, location and surface finish accuracy.
CUTTING INTERNAL THREAD
Internal threads are cut in the same general way as the external threads. However, the
cutting is more difficult because one can’t see the cutting operation. Also it is not possible to hold
the tool so rigidly. A forged long tool can be used with the end group the same way as for external
thread cutting. The cutting edge may need a little more end relief to keep the bottom of the tool
from rubbing bar if the hole is large enough. A center gauge is used for grinding the tool setting it.
Setting up the Lathe
I. The size of the hole to be threaded must be no smaller than miner diameter of the thread.
This would give a full depth of thread.
II. If the thread is cut only part way through the hole it is good to cut recess at the end of the
thread. This recess should equal to a depth of the thread this will permit as to release the
split nut without turning in the cross feed
III. Set the compound rest to 30 degrees to the left of (clock wise) cross feed. (this is just the
opposite of the setting for external threading)
IV. Fasten the threading tool in holder or boring bar

56
V. Hold the center gauge against the face surface or side of the work piece adjusts the tool on
center and at right angles to the work piece. To set the tool at center height, use the surface
gauge scriber point.
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.

Date:

AIM

To perform knurling operations on the given job

MATERIALS REQUIRED

25 mm diameter, 100 mm length – Mild steel round rod

TOOLS REQUIRED

Single point cutting tool, knurling tool, Chuck key, Spanner

MEASURING TOOL

Steel Rule, Vernier Caliper, outside caliper

SEQUENCE OF OPERATIONS

 Job setting

 Tool setting

 Facing

 Plain turning

 Marking

 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.

63
64
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

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:

Where L= Length of the work piece

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

EX No. 8 . MACHINING AND MACHINING TIME ESTIMATION FOR ECCENTRIC

Date: TURNING

AIM

To perform Eccentric turning operations on the given job

MATERIALS REQUIRED

25 mm diameter, 100 mm length – Mild steel round rod

TOOLS REQUIRED

Single point cutting tool, drill bit, reamer, Chuck key, Spanner

MEASURING TOOL

Steel Rule, Vernier Caliper, outside caliper

SEQUENCE OF OPERATIONS

 Job setting

 Tool setting

 Packing

 Eccentric turning

 Marking

ECCENTRIC TURNING THEORY

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

Fig 3: Finished part with simple eccentric

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

3. The calculations for this are given below

Packing = offset x 1.5

P = 5 x 1.5 = 7.5mm

The following formula gives a slightly more accurate result

Packing = 1.5 x offset x (1 - (1/8 x (Offset / Bar Diameter))).

Packing = 1.5 x 5 x (1 - (1/8 x (5 / 22))) = 7.29mm

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:

Where L= Length of the work piece

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.
