Introduction
Lathe is a machine, which removes the metal from a piece of work to the required shape & size operations such as cutting, sanding, knurling, drilling, or deformation with tools that are applied to the workpiece to create an object which has symmetry about an axis of rotation.

Turning Parameters
Forces in turning Cutting force: acts downward on the tool tip Thrust force: acts in the longitudinal direction Radial force: acts in the radial direction Roughing and Finishing Cuts Rough cut: high speed cut with little regard for dimensional tolerance Finishing cut: lower feed rate and depth of cut Tool Materials, Feeds, and Cutting Speeds See table 22.4 Cutting Fluids See table 22.5

History
The origin of turning dates to around 1300BC when the Egyptians first developed a two-person lathe. One person would turn the wood work piece with a rope while the other used a sharp tool to cut shapes in the wood The Romans improved the Egyptian design with the addition of a turning bow. Early bow lathes were also developed and used in Germany, France and Britain.

History
In the Middle Ages a pedal replaced hand-operated turning, freeing both the craftsman's hands to hold the woodturning tools. The pedal was usually connected to a pole, often a straight-grained sapling. The system today is called the "spring pole" lathe ( Pole-lathe).

History
During the industrial revolution, mechanized power was applied to the lathe via steam engines and line shafting, allowing faster and easier work. Between the late 19th and mid 20th centuries, individual electric motors at each lathe replaced line shafting as the power source. Beginning in the 1950s, servomechanisms were applied to the control of lathes and

Some Typical Lathe Jobs

Turning/Drilling/Grooving/ Threading/Knurling/Facing...

Lathe Operations
Turning: produce straight, conical, curved, or grooved workpieces Facing: to produce a flat surface at the end of the part or for making face grooves. Boring: to enlarge a hole or cylindrical cavity made by a previous process or to produce circular internal grooves. Drilling: to produce a hole by fixing a drill in the tailstock Threading: to produce external or internal threads Knurling: to produce a regularly shaped roughness on cylindrical surfaces

Simple Problems
Problem -1 A mild steel rod having 50 mm diameter and 500 mm length is to be turned on a lathe. Determine the machining time to reduce the rod to 45 mm in one pass when cutting speed is 30 m/min and a feed of 0.7 mm/rev is used.

115

Solution Given data: D = 50 mm, Lj = 500 mm v = 30 m/min, f = 0.7 mm/rev Substituting the values of v and D in V = DN/1000 M/min

Required spindle speed as: N = 191 rpm

116

Simple Problems
Problem -2 Determine the angle at which the compound rest would be swiveled for cutting a taper on a work piece having a length of 150 mm and outside diameter 80 mm. The smallest diameter on the tapered end of the rod should be 50 mm and the required length of the tapered portion is 80 mm. Solution Given data: D1 = 80 mm, D2 = 50 mm, Lj = 80 mm (with usual notations) tan = (80-50) / 2 80 or = 10.620 The compound rest should be swiveled at 10.62o
