    Lathe machine is a machine that holds the work piece on a chuck and tool on a tool post, the lathe machine rotates
    work piece about an axis to perform various operations such as turning, facing, thread cutting, knurling, drilling and
    more with tools that are applied to the work piece to create an object with symmetry about that axis.
    Parts of Lathe Machine:
    The lathe consists following parts.
    1. Bed
    It is the main body of the machine. All main components are bolted on it. It is usually made by cast iron due to its high compressive
    strength and high lubrication quality. It is made by casting process and bolted on floor space.
    2. Tool post
    It is bolted on the carriage. It is used to hold the tool at correct position. Tool holder mounted on it.
    3. Chuck
    Chuck is used to hold the workspace. It is bolted on the spindle which rotates the chuck and work piece. It is four jaw and three jaw
    according to the requirement of machine.
    4. Head stock
    Head stock is the main body parts which are placed at left side of bed. It is serve as holding device for the gear chain, spindle, driving
    pulley etc. It is also made by cast iron.
    5. Tail stock
    Tail stock situated on bed. It is placed at right hand side of the bed. The main function of tail stock to support the job when required. It
    is also used to perform drilling operation.
    6. Lead screw
    Lead screw is situated at the bottom side of bed which is used to move the carriage automatically during thread cutting.
    7. Legs
    Legs are used to carry all the loads of the machine. They are bolted on the floor which prevents vibration.
    8. Carriage
    It is situated between the head stock and tail stock. It is used to hold and move the tool post on the bed vertically and horizontally. It
    slides on the guide ways. Carriage is made by cast iron.
    9. Apron
    It is situated on the carriage. It consist all controlling and moving mechanism of carriage.
    10. Chips pan
    Chips pan is placed lower side of bed. The main function of it to carries all chips removed by the work piece.
    11. Guide ways
    Guide ways take care of movement of tail stock and carriage on bed.
    12. Speed controller
    Speed controller switch is situated on head stock which controls the speed of spindle.
    13. Spindle
    It is the main part of lathe which holds and rotates the chuck.

    WORKING PRINCIPLE OF LATHE


    Lathe removes undesired material from a rotating work piece in the form of chips with the help of a tool which is traversed across the
    work and can be fed deep in work. Lathe machine holds the work piece between two rigid and strong supports called Centers, or in a
    chuck or Face plate while the latter revolves. The chuck or the face plate is mounted on the projected end of the machine spindle. The
    cutting tool is rigidly held and supported in a tool post and is fed against the revolving work. While the work revolves about its own axis
    the tool is made to move either parallel to or at an inclination with this axis to cut the desired material. In doing so it produces a
    cylindrical surface, if it is fed parallel to the axis or will produced a Tapered surface if it is fed at an inclination.

    APPLICATION OF CENTRE LATHE:


    Types of Lathe Operation
    The working of the lathe machine changes with every operation and cut desired. There are a lot of operations used for
    using the lathe machine. Some of the common lathe operations are:
    TAPER TURNING METHODS & ANGLE CALCULATION OF TAPER TURNINGTaper tuning is performed, when
    a specific taper is required on work-piece. This can be performed by following four methods:1.Combined feed
    method 2.
    Form tool method
    3. Tail-stock set over method
    4. Compound rest method
    5. Taper turning attachment method .Let us see when and how these methods are used:

    PROBLEMS ON TAPER TURNING:


    Thread Terminology:
    THREAD CUTTING MECHANISM :
    Thread cutting on All Geared Lathe Machine 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.

    Thread Cutting On All Geared Lathe


    1. The job is revolved between center or by a chuck. The longitudinal feed should beequal to the pitch of the
    thread to be cut per revolution of the work piece.
    2. The carriage should be moved longitudinally obtaining feed through the lead-screwof the lathe.
    3. A definite ratio between the longitudinal feed and rotation of the headstock spindleshould be found out.
    Suitable gears with required number of teeth should be mounted on thespindle and the lead screw.
    4. A proper thread cutting tool is selected according to the shape of the thread. It ismounted on the tool post
    with its cutting edge at the lathe axis and perpendicular to the axisof the work.
    5. The position of the tumbler gears are adjusted according to the type of the thread
    6. Suitable spindle speed is selected and it is obtained through back gears.
    7. After the process of thread cutting is over, the thread is checked by suitablegauges.

    CALCULATION OF CHANGE GEARS FOR THREAD CUTTING OPERATION:


    USE OF IDLE GEARS:
    Gear train Required direction of rotation of lead No.of Idle Gears to be employed
    screw
    Simple Same as Spindle Odd number( 1 or 3 etc)
    Simple Opposite to that of the spindle Two or No
    Compound Same as Spindle Two or No
    Compound Opposite to that of the spindle Odd number( 1 or 3 etc)
