INTRODUCTION

A wooden lathe , is a machine that spins a piece of wood at a high (or low ,depending on what
you are carving) velocity. It consists a motor, tool rest, and pieces of metal to hold the wood in
place. The pieces of metal used to lock the wood into place vary, depending on how it needs to
be held.
It can be used to smooth and shape wood. In addition to wood lathes, lathes are also available for
working with metal and glass. Each of these lathes are commonly used by crafters and do-it-
yourselfers in order to customize and complete projects.

In order to use a wood lathe, the crafter must insert a piece of wood into a special holder called a
center. This center holds the wood in place so it can be shaped using the wood lathe with a
variety of handheld blades. Some wood lathes, however, are capable of holding the blade in
place, so the user does not have to hold the blade. The center spins the wood rapidly as the
crafter applies the blade to the surface of the wood piece.
A wood lathe can be fitted with a variety of different blades. These blades can be of different
widths, angles, and shapes. The type of blade used with the wood lathe determines the way it will
cut the wood. Some blades are wide with sharper angles and intended to cut large portions of
wood away from the piece. Other blades are sharper or pointier, allowing detailing to be
completed with the help of the wood lathe.
A crafter may also use a wood lathe to assist with sandpapering the surface of the wood. Rather
than holding the piece in hand and rubbing it repeatedly with a piece of sandpaper, the crafter
can allow the wood lathe to spin the piece as he or she holds a piece of sandpaper against it. This
makes it possible to finish sanding in a much shorter period of time and is also less physically
demanding on the user. A wood lathe can be used to create a variety of objects. For crafting and
general woodworking, a wood lathe can create decorative spindles to be used in the creation of
table and chair legs. A wood lathe can also be used to make cue sticks, baseball bats, and any
other wooden object that needs to be cylindrical and smooth in shape.
A wood lathe is a machine used to form a piece of wood into a desired shape, a variety of other
useful, fancy and decorative wood items. A piece of wood is attached to a spinning arm and
various tools are used to shape the piece of wood as it spins.
Its machine tool for holding and turning wood against a cutting tool. Its principal parts are the
headstock, which holds one end of the material in a rotating spur; the tailstock, which holds the
other end, the cutting tool and the power feed. It performs turning operations in which unwanted
material is removed from a workpiece rotated against a cutting tool, by chip removal. A
workpiece is holded and rotated under power.

Types Of Woods

Acacia wood
There are about 1,300 different species of acacia trees and shrubs. A few acacia plants produce
wood that can be used for furniture, ornaments, and flooring, as well as for firewood and
pulpwood in the paper industry.
Sheesham wood
Sheesham is best known internationally as a premier timber species of the rosewood genus. With its
multiple products, tolerance of light frosts and long dry seasons, Sheesham is among the finest
cabinet and veneer timbers

Fruit Wood
Fruit wood is a hard, dense wood which is made into a variety of arts, crafts, vases, bowls and
furniture. Fruit wood displays color properties unlike most other woods, it has green, brown and
yellow hues.

Pine wood
Pines are trees in the genus Pinus. There are about 115 species of pine. Pine trees can reach a
height of up to 60-80 m. Pines are long-lived, typically reaching ages of 100-1,000 years. The
bark of most pines is thick and scaly.

Tools

 Chisel
A chisel is a tool with a characteristically shaped cutting edge (such that wood chisels have lent
part of their name to a particular grind) of blade on its end, for carving or cutting a hard material
such as wood, stone, or metal. The handle and blade of some types of chisel are made of metal or
wood with a sharp edge in it.
A gouge, one type of chisel, is used, particularly in woodworking,woodturning and sculpture, to
carve small pieces from the material
Types of wood working chisels

 Butt chisel: short chisel with beveled sides and straight edge for creating joints.
 Carving chisels: used for intricate designs and sculpting; cutting edges are many; such as
gouge, skew, parting, straight, paring, and V-groove.
 Corner chisel: resembles a punch and has an L-shaped cutting edge. Cleans out square
holes, mortises and corners with 90 degree angles.
 Bevel edge chisel: can get into acute angles with its bevelled edges.
 Flooring chisel: cuts and lifts flooring materials for removal and repair; ideal for tongue-
and-groove flooring.
 Framing chisel: usually used with mallet; similar to a butt chisel, except it has a longer,
slightly flexible blade.
 Slick: a large chisel driven by manual pressure, never struck.
 Mortise chisel: thick, rigid blade with straight cutting edge and deep, slightly tapered
sides to make mortises and similar joints.
 Paring chisel: has a long blade which is ideal for cleaning grooves and accessing tight
spaces.
 Skew chisel: has a 60 degree cutting angle and is used for trimming and finishing.
 Dovetail chisel: Made specifically for cutting dovetail joints. The difference being the
thickness of the body of the chisel, as well as the angle of the edges, permitting easier
access to the joint.

 Chisel as a Wooden Lathe Tool

A lathe tool is a woodworking chisel designed to cut wood as it is spun on a lathe. These tools
have longer handles for more leverage, needed to counteract the tendency of the tool to react to
the downward force of the spinning wood being cut or carved. In addition, the angle and method
of sharpening is different; a secondary bevel would not be ground on the too
LITERATURE REVIEW

Basically, along with stone, mud and animal parts, wood was certainly one if the first materials
worked by primitive human-beings. Indeed, the development of wood lathe machine was closely
tied to the development of increasingly greater degrees of skill in design of a wood. Thus, it was
acknowledge of these facts brought about the design of wood lathe.

The recent research indicates that wood turning may be about 3000years old, originating,
presumably simultaneously in Great Britain, Italy and by inhabitants of Crimea.

In the good old days, there was much art and much less speed than we get today. Old spindle and
bowl lathes used various sources of power, but often had low end speed of 75RPM. There were
treadle models and pedal models with pedals designed to work as they did on the velocipedes
wood lathes. Lathes come in a variety of sizes and styles, which tends to force the beginning
turner to start out specialized in some manner, though the smallest lathes are “Jewelers lathes”
which are small enough that they may be held on one hand. Although the work piece machined
on a Jeweler‟s lathes are metal, Jeweler‟s lathes differ from all other working lathes in that the
cutting tools are hand held, not fixed to a cross slides.

Lathe machine come in variety of models amongst which are bench lathes which can sit on a
bench or table, CNC lathes that are controlled by a computer, vertical lathes i.e lathe with
vertical axis. Also, there are some lathes that are equipped with indexing plates, profiled cutters,
spiral or helical guide, etc. so as to enable ornamental turning.Thus, the machine from its
inception till date have under gone series of improvement, some parts have been simplified,
modified or eliminated where found not absolutely necessary, hence different models exist in the
market.

The wood lathe, just like other types of lathe can be used to carry out a wide range of machining
operations. It saves time and does not need much skill as in the use of hand tools.
Historical Development of woodturning Lathe

Information about woodturning before the 13th century AD is sparse. What information we have
is derived from:
1) a single pictorial representation of a lathe from the 3rd century BC;
2) a few references to lathes and turning in Greek and Roman literature; and
3) a limited quantity of the physical remains of turned products and turned waste.

Because of the last of these we know that woodturning has been practised from at least the 6th
century BC and possibly for several hundred years prior to that. Although the information on the
early development of woodturning is sparse it is surprising how much it tells us when it is
interpreted in the light of information from later periods. Our story will begin with the earliest
known products of the lathe and then go on to consider the lathe itself.

The history of turning wood can be traced back many thousands of years. The earliest machines
operated on the basis of the timber stock being rotated in a reciprocal motion on primitive strap,
bow and pole lathes. These simple machines are believed by many to be the first machine tools.
The artisans who worked in the woods using a pole lathe came to be known as „bodgers‟, the
origins of this word is uncertain, but one firmly held belief is that it was derived from „bőtticher‟
an old German word for a Cooper. During the 19th Century hundreds of bodgers set up lathes in
the woods around High Wycombe where they would turn legs and stretcher rails for chairs from
green timber. Chair-bodgers were also to be found in many other areas of England and Wales,
but were most prevalent in Buckinghamshire. The common day usage of the word „bodger‟ to
describe someone who starts a job and does not complete it could be explained by the fact that
the original bodgers only produced the turned parts and not the whole chair. There is no doubt
that the bodgers were highly skilled, but the items they could produce were limited by their
equipment.

Turned wooden items have been of major importance to the development of mankind from the
production of simple domestic utensils, farm implements, maritime articles e.g. pulleys for
blocks & tackle, joinery such as staircase parts, furniture, musical instruments, sports equipment,
measuring and drinking vessels etc. It is recorded that in 1347 the Turners were instructed by the
Mayor and Alderman of the City of London to ensure that their measuring vessels of turned
wood conformed to the City standards. Further, each turner was to have his mark placed on the
bottom of such measures for identification when they were examined.

The first record of a mechanical continuous revolution lathe is in the form of a sketch by
Leonardo da Vinci, C.1480. It depicts a treadle lathe with a crankshaft and a rather large
flywheel constructed substantially from wood. There is no evidence to suggest that it was one of
his many inventions, in fact it may well be his sketch of an established piece of equipment that
he had seen and interested his inventive mind. This and similar machines was the predecessor of
the lathes, both wood and metal that we have today.

The advent of the industrial revolution, together with the explosion in the population in the towns
and cities, led to the manufacture of high output machines to meet the ever increasing demand
for turned wooden items. This was without doubt the beginning of main stream industrial wood
turning with many companies specialising to meet the ever increasing demands of the industrial
users such as the cotton spinning mills in Lancashire. It could be argued that without the
mechanical wood lathe the industrial revolution could not have taken place.

Wood turning was not always the domain of the artisan craftsman. In the 19th century, following
the publication of Holtzapffel‟s reference work on „Turning & Mechanical Manipulation‟ it
became the principal hobby of the mechanically-minded English gentry who produced a wide
range of complex ornamental turnings.

The range of machines and equipment available today is wider than at any other time in the
history of wood turning. Whilst the hand lathes used by turners for samples and small runs are
very similar to their predecessors, the manufacturers of the modern high output machines offer
many differing solutions to the method of turning, each having benefits and restrictions. It is for
this reason that many of the members of the British Wood Turners Association have a range of
machines.

Today many of the items which were traditionally turned from wood are no longer required or
are made from synthetic materials. However, the skills to produce them from wood remain
strong and will continue for as long as there are those discerning people who appreciate the
many practical and aesthetic properties of a turned wooden item.
Historical developments of Products

The first information on the form taken by the lathe comes from the 3rd century BC but it was in
use long before that. A flat wooden dish which stood on wooden legs was found in a pit grave at
Mycenae dated at 1100 to 1400 BC. This dish has low side walks with a bead running around the
top, which is typical of turned work. There is also a hole in the centre, which has been plugged.
This suggests that it could have been turned on a mandrel held between centres in a lathe.
Against this view must be set the fact that there is no sign of turned grooves on the piece.

The Mycenean Wooden Bowl

Circa 1200 BC

When we move forward in time a few hundred years we find clear evidence that the Etruscans
possessed well developed techniques of turning. The earliest piece from that area was found at a
site known as the "Tomb of the Warrior" at Corneto. This is a fragment of a wooden bowl, dated
at around 700 BC, which shows "clear evidence of rounding and polishing on its outer surface
and of hollow turning..." Other Etruscan turned vessels were found on this site.
The Etruscans were not the only people to use the lathe in that period. Excavations of a mound
grave in Asia Minor (now Turkey) revealed two flat wooden dishes with decorative turned rims.
These have been dated as from the 7th century BC. A number of turned wooden boxes and bowls
from the 5th century BC have been found in the Crimea. One of these is described by Woodbury
as a "double box" made in one piece with a separate cover which "shows highly sophisticated
skills in turning".

The
oldest complete turned artefact discovered was a bowl from about the 6th century BC that was
found in the late 19th century by Julius Naue in a burial ground at Uffing in Upper Bavaria.
Modern Wooden Lathes:

Pen lathe
Small specialized lathe, usually limited to maximum 2" swing, ideal for pen turning.

Mini lathe
A good starting out lathe, fits into limited space, extension to lengthen bed is available.

Floor Lathe
Heavy duty lathe, bed is more rigid than lighter models, this is a machine for serious turners.
SCOPE OF PROJECT

Parts Of Wooden Lathe

The main parts of a micro wooden lathe are:-

(1) Bed :- It is a base or foundation of the wooden lathe . It is made up of wood in a trough
shape so that material removed from the wood can be easily collected on the bed . It hold and
support the other parts of the lathe such as motor.

(2) Headstock :- The headstock is permanently fastened to the inner ways at the left hand end of
the bed . It severs to support the spindle and driving arrangements. Wood lathe receives their
power through the headstock , which is equipped with a motor and also in order to control
the speed of the motor during operations a pedal controller is also attached to the motor.
Spindle of the motor is fitted with a socket which will be used as a chuck in micro wooden
lathe for holding the work piece in a proper alignment with a tailstock.

(3) Tailstock :- It is situated at the right hand end of the bed , which is provides a tailstock
spindle for the purpose of supporting the right end of the work piece . In a micro wooden
lathe , tailstock is fixed but only the spindle is moveable in order to support varying length of
different work piece . A bolt with coned end is used as a spindle in micro wooden lathe in
 which conned end act as a dead center. Movement of the bolt is controlled by the means of
two nuts which keep the bolt at desired position.

(4) Tool rest :-The tool rest is similar to a mechanical arm with a metal guide bar to support
the chisel or knife used for turning the work piece. It usually can be adjusted by sliding the
length of the bed at its base, with an intermediate arm that can swing from a parallel to a
perpendicular position in relation to the lathe bed, and the upper arm, which holds the actual
tool rest bar.

Statement Of Problems

The general purpose for any project is to find solutions on a certain problems. It‟s also gives main
idea how the project to be completed. For this project, the problems that need to be solved are:-
1) Any manufacturer wants to reduce cost and time taken to complete a product but gives
better quality products and increases the outputs.
2) Manufacturer tends to upgrade their machines to compete with the new machine with new
technology.
3) Lathe machine cutting tool can easily break and needs to enhance its tool life.
The continuous quest to have the problems of man and his growing needs solved has led to the
establishment of factories and other industries, which necessitates an intermediate
technology.However, simple hand tools that were in use before are no longer efficient for mass
production. In the same manner, the importation of wood lathe machine, as a substitute, for
these tools, likewise has failed to meet man‟s insatiable needs because of our unstable economy.

Then, there comes the need for urgent attention to a better and locally made wood lathe machine.
Purpose Of Study.
The design and fabrication of wood lathe machine aims among other things at justifying a simple
way of scarping and cutting off wood at its best quantity at a minimum cost of labour, so that
the financial burden of people can be reduced.

The simple design and fabrication of this machine, make it viable, reliable, and easy to carry out
maintenance services at minimized cost.

Scope Of Work

Essentially, the machine comprises of the frame made of metal, with the headstock fixed in
position, the tail stock moves along the bed of the machine by using a bolt supported by L
shaped frame which provide flexibility in order to fix workpiece of various length and cross
section , and the toll rest mounted on a tool post which is fixed to bed of micro wooden lathe and
tool can rest on this tool rest allow the operater to freely work on the workpiece by placing the
tool on the tool rest. It is located between the head stock and the tailstock.

In operations, the machine is limited to only scarping and cutting of any type of wood. Drilling
operations cannot be performed on this machine.but in our micro wooden lathe we allow such
arrangement such that we can drill workpiece with the help of cone ended threaded bolt by
rotating the bolt from the head portion . in this micro wooden lathe we can not only perform
turning operations but also can perform parting as well as knurling operations .

The general scopes for this project are:-

1) To Do the literature reviews on lathe machine
2) To Develop Gantt chart and flow chart for this project.
3) To Design the lathe machine by using Pro-E software.
4) To Motor holder designed by using Pro-E software.
5) To Testing the lathe machine.
OBJECTIVES OF PROJECT

Every works must come out with its own objectives so that its will achieves the goal successfully.
For this project, the objectives are:-

1. To design a wooden lathe machine.

2. To fabricate the wooden lathe machine.
3. To test the lathe machine operates
4. To analyze the cutting tool wear and workpiece surface roughness.
5. Use available local materials in fabrication
6. Achieve a reduction in the cost of production of the machine.
7. Provide a life engine in the workshop which students could use for exhibition thereby
creating awareness for, and encouragement of indigenous technology.
8. Reduce the labour cost and time spent on using hand tools for wood design.
9. Increase productivity and creativity.

The vital need for the fabrication of a wood lathe is significant in the much delay and time as
well as energy wasted in using simple hand tools to carry out jobs. Moreover, the cost of
importation of a lathe machine, is too high for an average user.Also, wood lathe machine will
helps to reduce the cost and consequently increase the rate of production and craftsman‟s skill

Calculation of cutting parameters

Cutting Speed

When metal is cut, the workpiece surface is driven with respect to the tool, or the tool with respect
to surface, at a relatively high rate of speed. This is called cutting speed (Cs). Mostly the tool or
workpiece revolves. Almost all such machine tools are calibrated in revolutions per minute (rpm).
The cutting speed is related to the rpm and thus is conveniently expressed in meter per minute
(m/min).Spindle speed (rpm) is the rotational frequency of lathe machine spindle and its
determined based on the type of material to be cut. Soft steel such as aluminium alloy is suitable
with high spindle speed during machining. If hard steel such as bronze applied excessive spindle
speed, it will cause premature tool wear, breakage, and can cause tool chatter. Using the correct
spindle speed for the material and tools will affect tool life and the quality of the surface finish.

Cutting speed (in Wooden lathe for turning operation) is the peripheral speed of the workpiece

past the cutting tool.

Mathematically ,V = πDN/1000 m/min

Where , V = Cutting Speed , m/min

D = Diameter of the job , mm

N = Spindle Speed ,r.p.m

In a Micro wooden Lathe

D = 33.4 mm

N = 6000 r.p.m

Then we can calculate the cutting speed which is :-

V = ( π*33.4*6000 ) /1000

v = 629.8 m/min

Factor which influence the selection of a proper cutting speed are :-

 Material of the cutting tool

 Hardness and Machinability of the wood to be machined

 Tool Shape

 Depth of cut

 Rigidity of the tool and work

Depth Of Cut (d)

The depth of cut „d‟ is the perpendicular distance measured from the machined surface to the

uncut surface of the workpiece . For turning operation , the depth of cut is expressed as :

d = ( Di – Df ) / 2 mm

Where , Di = Initial diameter of the workpiece , mm

Df = Final diameter of the workpiece , mm

In a Micro wooden Lathe

Di = 33.4 mm

Df= 22.9 mm

Then we can calculate the Depth of cut which is

d= (33.4 – 22.9 ) / 2

d = 5.25 mm

Depth of cut generally depend on following factors :

 Type of workpiece material

 Type of tool material

 Type of surface finish required

Material Removal Rate (MRR)

The material removal rate, MRR, can be defined as the volume of material removed divided by

the machining time. Another way to define MRR is to imagine an "instantaneous" material

removal rate as the the rate at which the cross-section area of material being removed moves

through the workpiece

MRR = 1000 *V * d * f

In a Micro wooden Lathe

V = 629.8 m/min (Calculated above)

d = 5.25 mm

f = 0.1 mm / revolution

Then we can calculate the cutting speed which is :-

MRR = 1000 * 629.8 * 5.25 * 0.1

= 330645 mm^3 / min
