Objectives
1.Draw the lathe work holding devices and its uses.(use short size bondpaper with
boundary lines of half inch.)
• 3-jaw Self-centering Chuck- the most versatile and ideal for holding round parts
(bars, rings and pipes.) 6-jaw self-centering are used for thin-walled parts.
• 4-jaw Independent Chuck-Four- they are used to held wound, square, hexagonal,
and irregular-shaped work pieces. The jaws can be reversed to hold work by the inside
diameter.
• Types of Drive Plates- Drive Plate Points : Drive Plate, lathe Drive Plate, Definition
Drive plate is use to constrain a lathe dog which in turn is firmly clamped to the job.
This is a in a circle slot plate close to spindle. Bent tail of dog fixed keen on single of
slots in face of plate. Drive plate is regularly calling dog plate.
• Lathe dogs- A lathe dog is used for driving the work during turning between center,
supporting long jobs during turning, as a cutting tool during turning and holding the
job.
• Center- The Center is a work holding devices in a lathe that is used to support long
jobs in between headstock and tailstock to carry out a lathe operation.
• Steady rest- Steady rests are needed when the length and stiffness of a work piece
makes it difficult to machine without distorting or deflecting the part. This damage is
the result of cutting or forming tool pressures that are simply too great for the part

9. The following are the advantages of using a face plate, except:

a. The work can be rigidly clamped to resist heavy cuts.
b. The work can be bored
c. A wide range of regular and irregular components can be held.
d. Work on the end face of the job is not possible.

10. It is used in the tailstock to provide clearance for the tool to do facing.
a. Revolving Centre c. Lathe Centre
b. Half Centre d. Plain Centre
