SAFETY MEASURES
 Do not attempt to operate the machine before receiving the instructions from the foreman.
 Never leave safe guards of lathe machine.
 Do not attempt to lift heavy article (more than 20 kg.) without assistance.
 Before starting any operation, always see the work and cutting tools secured first.
 Dis engages all the operating levers and place them in neutral position before starting the
motor.
 Never leave the machine when it is running.
 Never mount or remove the work when machine is in running position.
 While machining such metal, which produces fine flying chip always wear goggle or use
guard screen.
 Never wear loose clothing. Tie your sleeves up at wrist. Never handle chips or shavings
with you bare hands; you should use special hook brushes or scrubbers to pull them away
from the machine.
 Do not take measurement of the works while the machine is running.
 Do not tray to shop the chuck with your hands.
 Keep the work place clean and tidy. Never allow the work pieces or other objects to line on
the floor around the machine.
 During mounting the work piece on the lathe be sure to see the Centre hole are correct. (in
sufficient depth of center hole is likely to result in the work breaking away while it is
revolving).
 See that the chuck key is removed after the work has been clamped in the chuck.
 The machine should be always earthed, if electric motor, lightning appliances or the wires
insulation get out of order report it to the foreman or electrician on duty.

THE LATHE
The main function of a lathe is to remove metal from a piece of work to give it the required
shape and size by holding the work securely and rigidly on the machine and then turning it
against cutting tool which will remove metal from the work in the form of chips. The most
common and widely used is the center or engine lathe for preparing of various turning parts
by different turning process.
LATHE OPERATIONS
Dept. of ME, CIT, Gubbi, Tumakuru Page 1

1. Centering: centering is the operation of producing conical holes in work pieces at the
ends to provide bearing surface for lathe centers.
2. Turning: Turning is the process to remove excess material from the work piece
basically to produce cylindrical or cone shaped objects, to the required shape and size.
The most common center or engine lathe is used for preparing of various turning parts
by different turning process. Straight turning produces a cylindrical surface by
feeding the single point cutting tool against the rotating work parallel to the work.
3. Taper turning: means to produce a conical surface by gradual reduction in diameter
from a cylindrical work piece.
4. Facing: Facing is the operation of machining the ends of a work piece to produce flat
surface square with the axis. This is also used to cut the work to the required length.
The tool is fed perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the work piece.
5. Knurling: Knurling is the process of embossing a diamond shaped pattern on the

surface of the work piece. It provides grip to the work piece.
6. Eccentric turning: If the cylindrical work piece has two separate axis of rotation, one
being out of the centre to the other, the work piece is eccentric and turning of different
surfaces of the work piece is known as eccentric turning.
7. Thread cutting: The principle of thread cutting is to produce helical groove on a

cylindrical or conical surface by feeding the tool longitudinally when the job is
revolving between centers or by a chuck.
8. Chamfering: is the operation of beveling the extreme end of the work piece.
9. Grooving: is the process of reducing the diameter of a work piece over a very narrow
surface.
10. Undercutting: is similar to grooving operation performed inside a hole called

undercut.
The work pieces are given cylindrical shapes by:
1. Longitudinal turning
2. Tapers by taper turning
3. Profiles by profile turning
4. Threads by thread cutting
In addition, counter sink, drilling, reaming, grooving, knurling, parting off (operations) are
carried out. Grinding and milling operations are carried on the lathe with special
attachments. The lathe is also used for manufacturing of cylindrical bolts, cylindrical
shafts, shafts with square cross section, Eccentric shafts, crank shafts, bushes, sleeves,
pulleys, knobs, machine handles, spindles, washers and machining of housing and casting
etc.
Speed :
Speed is the number of circular motion of the spindle/work piece in one minute of
time expressed is RPM.
Feed :
Feed is the length at which the tool travels forward for one revolution of the work
piece expressed in meter/rev or mm/revolution.
Cutting speed :
The cutting speed of a tool is the speed at which the metal is removed by the tool from
the work piece. It is the rate of cutting length on the main motion in meter/minute. It is
denoted by a letter, v; v = πdn/100
Where
v = cutting speed.
d = diameter of the work piece.
n = number of revolutions per minute.

Depth of cut:
It is the perpendicular distance measured from the machined surface to the uncut
surface of the work piece.
Turning process:
The various shapes of turned parts are obtained by different turning processes. The
process of machining from the outside are known as “Outside Turning” and from the inside
as “Inside Turning”. The work pieces are given cylindrical shape by longitudinal turning,
plane surfaces by facing or transverse turning, tapers by taper turning, profiles by profile
turning and threads by thread cutting.

INFLUENCE OF TOOL ANGLES

The amount of rake angle to be given in a tool depends on the following factors:
1. Type of material to be cut
2. Type of tool material being used
3. Depth of cut
4. Rigidity of the tool holder and condition of machine.
Rake: The rake is the slope of the top away from the cutting edge. The larger the rake angle, the
larger the shear angle, and thereby the cutting force and power reduce. Large rake gives good
surface finish.
Back rake angle: Back rake indicates that the plate which forms the face or top of a tool has been
ground back at an angle sloping from the nose.
Side rake angle: Side rake indicates that the plane that form the face or top of a tool has been
ground back at an angle sloping from the side cutting edge.
Nose: The nose of a tool is the conjunction of the side- and end- cutting edges. A nose radius
increases the tool life and improves surface finish.
Flank: The flank of a cutting tool is that surface which face the workpiece.
Shank: The shank is that portion of the tool bit which is not ground to form cutting edges and is
rectangular in cross-section.
Face: The face of the cutting-tool is that surface against which the chip slides forward.
End relief or clearance angle: Indicates that the nose or end of a tool has been ground back at an
angle sloping down from the end cutting edge.
Side relief or clearance: Indicates that the plane that forms the flank or side of a tool has been
ground back at an angle sloping from the side cutting edge.
End cutting edge angle: Indicates that the plane which forms the end of a tool has been ground
back at an angle sloping from the nose to the side of the shank.
Side cutting edge angle: Indicates that the plane which forms the flank or side for a tool has been
ground back at an angle to the side of the shank. Chips are removed by this cutting edge.

MILLING
It is a machining process in which metal is removed by rotating multiple-tooth cutters,
as the cutter rotates each tooth removes a small amount of material from the
advancing work for each spindle revolution. (The relative motion between work piece
and cutter can be in any direction. Surface having any orientation can be machined in
milling).
Practical applications
Machining of plane, curved surface, slots, groves, gears, teethes, guide gibs, bolt,
splined shaft and ring nut are few example parts of milling operations.

ATTACHMENTS FOR MILLING

1. Universal Dividing Head
Universal dividing head is an important work holding and indexing device used on
milling machine. With the help of the dividing head the work pieces can be
accurately divided to any fraction of a revolution enabling the correct spacing of
the grooves that can be machined on the periphery of the work piece.

Universal dividing heads find wide use in the production of spur gears, splines, helical gears,
and other indexing requirements on a milling machine. In this method marking is not
necessary.
Method of Indexing
1. Direct Indexing: Small no. of divisions
The Indexing takes place by rotating the dividing head spindle, where by the required divisions
can be achieved through the relevant Index plate and indexing pin.
Operation Sequence
Worm and worm wheel must be disengaged by means of the disengaging lever., Loosen
clamping lever, Release Index pin., Rotate the main spindle with the direct Index plate through
the desired indexing holes.
Engage Index pin., Clamp lever tightened firmly, commence the milling process.

Divisions of direct indexing

1. Face with 24 Notches 2 3 4 6 8 12 24
2. Face with 5 and 7 Notches 5 7
The reversing of notch plate can be done by losing the knurled nut.
2. Indirect Indexing: (Any No. Of Divisions)

The indexing process takes place through worm and worm wheel with the
constant drive ratio of 1:40 with this drive ratio the following relation is given.
One rotation of the main spindle requires 40 rotations of the Indexing lever.
Calculation of the required number of Index lever rotations

1. Full number of Index lever rotations are achieved when divisions of 40 by the
required number of divisions, gives the full number
Example: Divisions required: 10
D: Number of Index lever rotations
IS: Dividing head constan

T = Divisions required
D = IS/t = 40/10 = 4
i.e., 4 rotation of the Index lever represents 1/10 rotation of DH Spindle
2. No full number is achieved, if the divisions are 40 from the required divisions.
Then the index lever rotation must be further divided by using corresponding hole
circle.
The hole circles of the double-sided index plate are as follows:
15-17-19-21-27-37-41-47
16-18-20-23-29-33-39-49
Example 1: Required number of division t = 29

Constant ratio = 1:40, Dividing head is Constant = 40
11
No. of Index lever rotations = D = IS/t = 40/29 = 1 i.e.
29
To achieve the desired no. of 29 division on the dividing head spindle, the Index lever
must be rotated by 1 full rotation and 11 holes extra on the 29 hole circle.
Example 2: Required Number of Divisions t = 132

40
IS 40 10
D   4  i.e.
t 132 132
4 33
To achieve the desired number of 132 divisions on the dividing head spindle, the
Index lever must be rotated by 10 holes on the 33-hole circle.
Example 3: Required number of divisions t = 9

IS 40 40(3) 120
D     4.44 i.e.
t 9 9(3) 27
To achieve the desired number of divisions 9 on the dividing head spindle, the Index
lever must be rotated by 4 rotation + 12 holes extra on the 27 holes circle.

Sequence of Operation
 Engage Worm and Worm wheel by means of the swing provided,. Set Index
lever on the corresponding hole circle.
 Release Index into the marked hole on the selected
hole circle.
 Set the first indicator to touch the index pin.
 Set the second indicator by rotating it over the number of holes and
clamp the indicator by means of the clamping screws.
 Loosen clamping lever; rotate the index lever by the number of rotations and
also by the no. holes and release the Index pin in last hole before the second
indicator rotate the indicator set further until the first indicator rests on the
Index pin tighten clamping lever and start the milling practice.
DIMENSIONS OF SPUR GEAR
The tooth form is limited by the tip and root circle

On the pitch circle tooth are spaced. The distance between the two teeth measured on
the pitch circle is called the PITCH

The pitch is the product of constant and fig π.

The number with which π is multiplied is the MODULE (m)
Modules are standardized to a selected series. The Module is an absolute fig and the
product in pitch is specified in mm.
Pitch = Module × π
P = m × π in mm
Module =
Circular Pitch =
Module is a standardized quantity, whose purpose is to enable calculations with

numbers, it is measured in mm.
Example: Calculate the pitch in mm for a module 2 = 2 × 3.14 = 6.28 mm
Since the pitch is a multiple of π simple figures are obtained for the pitch circle
diameter.
Pitch circle diameter = module × no. of teeth
d=m×z
Note: m = module
Z = no. of teeth
Teeth depth h = 13/6 m = 2.166 m = 0.7 p
Addendum ha = 6/6 mm = 1 m = 0.3 p
Addendum hf = 7/6 m = 1.166 m = 0.4 p
Tip diameter = da = d + 2ha
(or)
da = d + 2m
(or)

da = m × z + 2m
(or)
da = m (z + 2) (mm)
(or)
Outside diameter: OD = m (z + 2) (mm) of the blank
Example: Calculate the following dimensions for a gear with module 2 and 30 teeth
Results: Pitch circle diameter = d = m × z = 2 × 30 = 60 mm
Addendum, ha = 1 m = 1 × 2 = 2mm
Dedundum, hf = 1.66 × m =1.166 × 2 = 2.332 mm
Tooth depth h = 2.166 × m = 2.166 == 2 = 4.332 mm
Tip diameter = da = m(z + 2) = 2(30 + 2) = 64 mm

GRINDING
Grinding is the most common form of abrasive machining. It is a material cutting

process that engages an abrasive tool whose cutting elements are grains of abrasive
material known as grit. These grits are characterized by sharp cutting points, high hot
hardness, chemical stability and wear resistance. The grits are held together by a
suitable bonding material to give shape of an abrasive tool.
Practical applications
Surface finishing, slitting and parting, descaling, deburring, stock removal (abrasive
milling) finishing of flat as well as cylindrical surface and grinding of tools and cutters
and re sharpening of the same.

18. What is meant by H.S.S. tool? What are the elements present in that?
HSS (High Speed Steel) is an alloy of high carbon steel with an alloying elements like
Tungsten 18%, Chromium 4% and Vanadium of 1%.
19. What is meant by carbide tipped tool?
These tools are made of two different metals, the cutting portions of these tools are
tungsten carbide which are brazed to ordinary metal blank which are tough (low cost).
20. Define cutting speed. Feed and depth of cut?
a) Cutting speed – “The speed at which the cutting edge passes over material” which
is expressed in meters per minute is called the cutting speed.
V = ΠDN/1000 meter/min. (OR) V = ΠDN/12 feet/min.
Where – V = cutting speed in meters/min
Π = 3.14
D = diameter of work piece in mm
N = rpm
b) Feed – The feed of the tool is the distance it moves along the work for each
revolution of the work. and it is expressed in mm/revolution.
c) Depth of cut – It is the advancement of the tool at the beginning of the feed which
is perpendicular to the type of feed.
21. What is the spindle speed during thread cutting operation?
Set the spindle speed to about 1/4th of the normal turning speed.
22. What is difference between orthogonal cutting and oblique cutting?
Orthogonal cutting – Is a process of cutting operation where only two forces
i.e. tangential and axial forces are acting on the tool while turning
Oblique cutting - Is a process of cutting operation where three forces
i.e. Tangential, axial and radial forces are acting on the cutting tool while turning.
23. Why steady rest and follower rest are used?

A steady rest and follower rest are the lathe accessories used to give extra support for
a long slender work piece in addition to the centre support during turning.
24. Why the mandrels are used?
Lathe mandrels are devices used to hold the job for machining on lathes. They are
mainly used for machining outside diameters with reference to bores which have
been duly finished by either reaming or boring on a lathe.
25. What are the measuring (limit) gauges used while doing/machining components
on lathe?
Internal features check External features check
Cylindrical plug gauge Plain ring gauge
Taper plug gauge Taper ring gauge
Screw threaded plug gauge Screw pitch gauge
Fillet gauge Radius gauge
26. What is the formula for calculating the machining time on lathe?
Time to turn = length of cut x no. of cuts / feed x r p m minutes
(OR)
T = L x n/ f xN min.
27. Which are the factors governing the cutting speed?
 Finish required
 Depth of cut
 Tool geometry
 Properties of cutting tool material
 Properties of work material
 Type of cutting fluid used
 Rigidity of the machine tool
