Operations performed on the Centre Lathe Machine 1. TURNING OPERATION: 2. FACING OPERATION: • In this operation a flat surface is produced at the either end of the work piece. Thus by facing operation the length of the work piece gets reduced. • The tool used for this operation is known as Facing Tool or regular Turning Tool, which is clamped in the tool post. The tool moves crosswise perpendicular to the centre line of the lathe machine with the help of Cross Slide. The feed rate is provided to the tool with the help of Carriage. During this operation the work piece may be rotated at higher speeds. 3. PARTING OFF / CUTOFFOPERATION: • In this operation, specific part of the work piece is removed (detached) from the total length of the work piece. The tool used for this operation is known as Parting Off Tool. The tool moves specific lengthwise which is parallel to the centre line of the lathe machine with the help of Carriage. The feed rate is provided with the help of Cross Slide. During this operation the work piece is rotated at lower speed.

Operations performed on the Centre Lathe Machine 4. CHAMFERING OPERATION: • Basic of this operation is to remove sharp edges on the work piece by required angle. The tool used for this operation is known as Chamfering Tool and having the tip angle of 45 o or 60 o. The tool moves specific lengthwise which is parallel to the centre line of the lathe machine with the help of Carriage. The feed rate is provided with the help of Cross Slide. During this operation the work piece may be rotated at higher speeds. 5. KNURLING OPERATION: • In this operation, diamond shape pattern is embossed over the surface of the work piece. Knurling is useful to grip the work piece or the part of the work piece firmly. The tool used for this operation is known as Knurling Tool, which consists of set of hardened steel rollers. The tool moves specific lengthwise which is parallel to the centre line of the lathe machine with the help of Carriage. The feed rate is provided with the help of Cross Slide. During this operation the work piece is rotated at lower speed.

Operations performed on the Centre Lathe Machine 6. GROOVING OPERATION: • In this operation, the diameter of the work piece is reduced over a small narrow surface for particular length of the work piece. The tool used for this operation is known as Grooving Tool. The tool moves specific lengthwise which is parallel to the centre line of the lathe machine with the help of Carriage. The feed rate is provided with the help of Cross Slide. During this operation the work piece is rotated at lower speed.

Operations performed on the Centre Lathe Machine – 7. THREAD CUTTING OPERATION: • In this operation, helical grooves are produced over the cylindrical surface of the work piece. For thread cutting operation definite relationship between the rotation of the work piece in the Spindle and longitudinal travel of the Carriage is required. This is done with the help of engagement of the lead screw. After engagement of lead screw the whole Carriage unit moves forwards (from tailstock towards headstock) and backwards (from headstock towards tailstock) by controlling the levers that are provided on the apron unit. The tool moves specific lengthwise which is parallel to the centre line of the lathe machine. The feed rate is provided with the help of Cross Slide. During this operation the work piece is rotated at very lower speed.

Operations performed on the Centre Lathe Machine – 8. DRILLING OPERATION: • In this operation, a cylindrical hole is produced in a work piece, by cutting edge of a cutter known as the drill. The drill bit is fitted into the barrel of the tailstock (drill is stationary). First the drill is bringing in contact to the work piece. In this position the tailstock is locked on to the bed with the help of lever provided on the tailstock, so as to avoid the backward movement of the tailstock. The feed is given to the drill with the help of hand wheel which is provided on the tailstock. Before drilling operation, centre is marked on the either face of the work piece with the help of centre drill. This is required so as to avoid the eccentricity or taper of the hole into the work piece. During the operation the drill moves in longitudinal direction which is parallel to the centre line of the lathe machine. During this operation the work piece is rotated at lower speed.

Operations performed on the Centre Lathe Machine – 9. BORING OPERATION: • In this operation, the hole is enlarged, which has been produced previously by drilling, casting or forging. Boring cannot originate a hole like drilling. Boring is used to correct error in concentricity and alignment in the previously drilled hole. The operation of boring is same as drilling operation. 10. REAMING OPERATION: • It provides sizing and finishing to the already drilled hole. Operation of tool and movement of tool is same like drilling operation. The tool used for reaming operation is known as reamer, which has multiple cutting edges. Reamer cannot originate a hole. It simply follows the path which has been previously drilled and removes a very small amount of material.

Operations performed on the Centre Lathe Machine – 11. Contour Turning • A typical shape / curve is by using a single point tool. 12. Form Turning • The shape of the tool is replicated on the workpiece.

Lathe operations • Turning, Facing, Parting, Thread cutting, Grooving, Reaming & drilling, Boring, Knurling • Milling, Grinding, Tapping, Spinning etc.
