Lathe Operations
Tool is fed
radially inward
facing
Contour Turning
Instead of feeding the
tool parallel to the axis
of rotation, tool follows a
contour that is not
necessarily straight
(thus creating a
contoured form).

Right & Left Hand Tools
Right Hand Tool:
• Cuts from right to left
Cutting edge
cuts an angle on
the corner of the
cylinder, forming
a "chamfer"
chamfering
Parting (Cutoff) / Grooving
Tool is fed
radially into
rotating work at
some location to
cut off end of
part, or provide
a groove
cutoff
Threading
Pointed form tool
is fed linearly
across surface of
rotating workpart
parallel to axis of
rotation at a large
feed rate, thus
creating threads

Machining Calculations:
Turning
Spindle Speed - N v (rpm)
• v = cutting speed N
• Do = outer diameter π Do
Feed Rate - fr (mm/min -or- in/min)
• f = feed per rev fr N f
Depth of Cut - d Do Df (mm/rev -or- in/rev)
• Do = outer diameter d
• Df = final diameter 2
Machining Time - Tm L (min)
• L = length of cut Tm
fr
Mat’l Removal Rate - MRR (mm3/min -or- in3/min)
MRR v f d
