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 work piece, 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.
Working of Lathe Machine
• The lathe machine is a machine tool which hold the
workpiece two rigid and strong support called
centres or in a chuck which revolves.The cutting
tool is rigidly held and supported in a tool post
which is fed against the revolving work. The normal
cutting operations are performed with the cutting
tool fed either parallel or at right angle to the axis of
the work.
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
 Hollow cylindrical shaft supported by bearings
 Provides drive through gears to work-holding devices
 Live center, faceplate, or chuck fitted to spindle nose to hold
and drive work
 Driven by stepped pulley or transmission gears
 Feed reverse lever
 Reverses rotation of feed rod and lead screw
Headstock…
Carriage
 Used to move cutting tool along lathe bed
 Consists of three main parts
 Saddle
 H-shaped casting mounted on top of lathe ways, provides
means of mounting cross-slide and apron
 Cross-slide
 Apron
Carriage…
Tailstock
• Upper & lower tailstock castings.
• Adjusted for taper or parallel
turning by two screws set in base.
• Tailstock clamp locks tailstock any
position along bed of lathe.
• Tailstock spindle has internal
taper to receive dead center.
• Provide support for right hand end
of work.
Operations of Lathe Machine
• Facing: In this operation, the work piece is held in the
chuck and the facing tool is fed from the center of the
work piece towards the outer surface or from the outer
surface to the center, with the help of a cross-slide.
Turning
• Turning : produces smooth and straight
outside radius on a part
Threading
• Threading: The Cutting tool is moved
quickly cutting threads.
Tapering
• Tapering : tool is moved so as to cut a taper
(cone shape) .
Drilling
Drilling is an operation of making a
hole in a work piece with the help of a
drill.
Reaming
• Reaming is an operation of
finishing the previously drilled
hole.
Boring
• Boring is an operation of
enlarging of a hole already made
in a work piece.
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
 Turret lathe
Used when many duplicate parts required
Equipped with multisided tool post (turret) to which several
different cutting tools mounted
Employed in given sequence
Conclusion

A lathe machine is a heavy duty and high powered


tools largely used in engineering. They are used to cut
and shape metals, woods or plastics and even drill
holes with added parts.
