1.1.1 Early Machine Tools
T he first machine tools, the bow lathe and bow drill, were
hand made and human-powered. They have been dated back
to about 1200 BC. Until the end of the seventeenth century,
the lathe could be used only to turn softer materials, such
as wood, ivory, or at most, soft metals such as lead or cop-
per. Eventually, the bow lathe, with its reciprocating (back-
and-forth) motion, gave way to treadle power, which made
possible work rotation that was continuous in one direction.
Later, m achines were powered by a "great wheel" turned by
flowing water or by a person or animal walking on a tread-
mill. Power was transmitted from the wheel to one or more
machines by a belt and pulley system.
Boring Mill
When inventor James Watt first experimented with his
steam engine, the need for perfectly bored cylinders soon
became apparent. This brought about the development of
the first true machine tool. It was a type of lathe and was
called a "boring mill," Figure 1-2. T he water-powered tool
was developed in 1774· by Englishman John Wilkinson.
This machine was capable of turning a cylinder 36" in
diameter to an accuracy of a "thin-worn shilling" (an English
coin about the size of a modern US quarter). However, opera-
tion of the boring mill, like that of all metal cutting lathes
at the time, was hampered by the lack of tool control. The
"mechanic" (the first machinist) had to unbolt and reposition
the cutting tool after each cut.
