    Introduction

    • Lathe is one of the most important machine tools in the metal


    working industry. A lathe operates on the principle of a
    rotating work piece and a fixed cutting tool.
    • The cutting tool is feed into the workpiece, which rotates
    about its own axis, causing the work piece to be formed to the
    desired shape.
    Lathe machine is also known as “the mother/father of the
    entire tool family”.
    HISTORY

    • The lathe machine is one of the oldest and most important


    machine tools. As early as 1569, wood lathes were in use in
    France.
    • The lathe machine was adapted to metal cutting in England
    during the Industrial Revolution.
    • Lathe machine also called “Engine Lathe” because the first
    type of lathe was driven by a steam engine.
    USES
    • Wood Lathing
    • Metal Lathing
    • Acrylic Lathing
    Operations of Lathe Machine
    Operations of Lathe Machine…

    • Facing: This operation is almost essential for all works. In this


    operation, the workpiece is held in the chuck and the facing
    tool is fed from the center of the workpiece towards the outer
    surface or from the outer surface to the center, with the help of
    a cross-slide.
    • Plane Turning: It is an operation of removing excess amount
    of material from the surface the surface of the cylinder work
    piece.
    • Step Turning: It is an operation of producing various steps of
    different diameters of in the work piece. This operation is
    carried out in the similar way as plain turning.
    Parts of the Lathe
    Lathe Bed
    • Heavy, rugged casting
    • Made to support working parts of
    lathe
    • On top section are machined ways
    Guide and align major parts of
    lathe
    Headstock
    • Clamped on left-hand end of bed
    • Headstock spindle
    o Hollow cylindrical shaft supported by bearings
    • Provides drive through gears to work-holding devices
    o Live center, faceplate, or chuck fitted to spindle nose to hold and drive
    work
    • Driven by stepped pulley or transmission gears
    • Feed reverse lever
    o Reverses rotation of feed rod and lead screw
    Quick-Change Gearbox
    • Contains number of different-size gears
    • Provides feed rod and lead-screw with various speeds for
    turning and thread-cutting operations
    o Feed rod advances carriage when automatic feed lever engaged
    o Lead screw advances the carriage for thread-cutting operations when split-nut lever
    engaged
    •
    Carriage
    Used to move cutting tool along lathe bed
    • Consists of three main parts
    o Saddle
    • H-shaped casting mounted on top of lathe ways, provides means of
    mounting cross-slide and apron
    o Cross-slide
    o Apron
    Advantages

    Types of Lathes

    • Engine lathe
    Not production lathe, found in school shops, tool rooms, and job shops.
    Primarily for single piece or short runs.
    Manually operated.
     
    Special Types of Lathes

    • Turret lathe
    Used when many duplicate parts required.
    Equipped with multi sided tool post (turret) to which several different cutting
    tools mounted employed in given sequence.
    Special Types of Lathes…

    • Single- and multiple-spindle automatic lathes


    ▪ Six or eight different operations may be performed on many parts at the same
    time.
    ▪ Will produce parts for as long as required.
    • Tracer lathes
    ▪ Used where a few duplicate parts required.
    ▪ Hydraulically operated cross-slide controlled by stylus bearing against round or
    flat template.
    • Conventional/programmable lathe
    ▪ Operated as standard lathe or programmable lathe to automatically repeat
    machining operations.
