    The document describes performing a taper turning operation using a compound rest on a lathe machine. It discusses four taper turning methods in lathes, including the compound rest method. The procedure involves setting the compound rest at the desired half taper angle, then feeding the tool mounted on the compound rest at that angle to generate the corresponding taper on the workpiece. The movement of the tool is controlled manually, resulting in lower production capacity and rougher surface finish compared to other taper turning methods.

    Experiment # 9

    Objective:
    To perform taper turning operation using compound rest on lathe machine.

    Apparatus:
    Lathe machine

    Taper Turning on Lathe:


    The taper turning is an operation of producing a conical surface by gradual reduction in the
    diameter of a cylindrical workpiece.

    Taper turning methods in lathe machine


    There are four methods
    1. Form tool method
    2. Tailstock set over method
    3. Compound rest method
    4. Taper turning attachment method

    Formula for taper angle


    α = tan–1 ((D – d) / 2L)

    Procedure:
    1 This method employs the principle of turning taper by rotating the work piece on the lathe
    axis and feeding the tool at an angle to the axis of rotation of the work piece.
    2 The tool mounted on the compound rest is attached to a circular base, graduated in
    degree, which may be swivelled and clamped at any desired angle.
    3 Once the compound rest is set at the desired half taper angle, rotation of the compound
    slide screw will cause the tool to be fed at that angle and generate a corresponding taper.
    4 This method is limited to turning a short taper owing to the limited movement of the cross
    slide. But a small taper may also be turned.
    5 The compound rest may be swivelled at 45°on either side of the lathe axis enabling it to
    turn a steep taper. The movement of the tool in this method is being purely controlled by
    hand, thus giving a low production capacity and poor surface finish.
    6 The setting of the compound rest is done by swivelling the rest at half taper angle, if this
    is already known. If the diameter of the small and large end and Length of taper are
    known, the half taper angle can be calculated from the equationTan α = (D-d) / 2L.
