SAFETY SAFETY PRECAUTIONSPRECAUTIONS
• Always know the quickest way to stop the machine.
• Never leave the chuck key in the chuck• Clean the machine after every use.• Oil the necessary parts before use.• Never make any adjustment while the
machine is running.• Never leave tools or scrap metals on the
machine.

LATHE TOOLSLATHE TOOLS
Lathe tools maybe made of any of the following materials:
• Plain carbon steel• High speed steel• Stellite • Cemented carbide• Diamond

TOOL FORMSTOOL FORMS
BUTT BRAZED TOOLSThese are made by brazing or welding a
piece of H.S.S. to a high tensile steel shank.

TOOL FORMSTOOL FORMS
TIPPED TOOLThese have a hip of cemented carbide, etc.
brazed to a blank of high steel. They are very economical.

TOOL FORMSTOOL FORMS
TOOL BITSThese fit in a special holder that grips the
tool at an angle of 15 degrees. This provides easy height adjustment.

TOOL SHAPESTOOL SHAPES
The shape of the tool and the angles of its ground faces will depend on;
• The operation to be performed.• The material which has to be machined.• The power and rigidity of the lathe• The amount of material to be removed.• The quality of finish desired.

TOOL ANGLESTOOL ANGLES
A large tool angle• Gives maximum strength.• Helps heat dissipation.• Increases the power needed to force the
tool into the work.

A small tool angle• Weakens the cutting edges.
• Gives a good finish.• Gives little tearing.• Gives easy cutting.

TOOLSTOOLS
NB. The harder and tougher the material, the more it will be for the cutting edge of the tool to penetrate the metal, and at the same time retain its sharpness.

STRAIGHT TOOL HOLDERSTRAIGHT TOOL HOLDER
This carries one tool which is held in position by two or three set bolts. It is locked in position by one large nut or lever. Adjustment is made for height by means of parallel packing pieces.
![Page 18: The centre lathe](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062905/587196101a28ab044e8b4ad5/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

affected when adjusting to center height.
Disadvantages• Needs packing pieces for height adjustment.• Will carry only one tool at a time

TOOL HOLDERTOOL HOLDERThis is a multi-tool post and holds four tools
at the same time. It is locked in by a single hand lever. The holder swivels about its centre bolt so that each tool in turn can be brought into position.

Advantages• Height adjustment is easily made.
Disadvantages• Only one relatively small bolt to lock the
tool box in position.• The size of the tool that can be used is
limited by the width of the slot.

CENTERSCENTERS
These are machined with a morse taper, fit into the morse taper sockets of the head stock and tail stock spindles. Work to be turned may be held between the two centers or with chuck and tail stock in center. They are usually made of H.C.S but H.S.S, though expensive, is sometimes used for heavy or high speed work.
![Page 26: The centre lathe](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062905/587196101a28ab044e8b4ad5/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
DEAD OR LIVE CENTERSDEAD OR LIVE CENTERS
The dead center fits into the tail stock and the live center fits into the head stock. Both have a 60 degree included angle at the point, although this is sometimes increased to 90 degrees for heavy work.

HALF CENTERHALF CENTER
This is used in the tailstock to allow the tool to clear the center and give more room for facing up after the work has been mounted between centers.
![Page 29: The centre lathe](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062905/587196101a28ab044e8b4ad5/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
BALL CENTERBALL CENTER
This is sometimes used for tapering by the “set-over tail stock” method. The standard centers cannot sit squarely in the center hole when the tail stock is set over.

THE LUBRICATION OF CENTERSTHE LUBRICATION OF CENTERS
Centers can be lubricated using the following:
• Tallow • Granite• Grease

FACE PLATEFACE PLATEThis is a circular slotted casting which
screws onto the spindle nose. It is used for holding work that cannot be held conveniently in the 3 or 4 jaw chucks or by centers. Sometimes an angle plate has to be used in the set-up, particularly when two faces have to be machined at right angles to each other.

This is bolted to the cross slide or carriage of the lathe and is used to support long slender work to stop the metal from bending under the pressure of the cut.

FIXED STEADYFIXED STEADYThis is bolted to the lathe bed and is used to
support work that projects a long way out of the chuck. It is often used as an end support for long bars too big in diameter to go through the head of the machine, so that end of the bar may be machined. Grease is necessary where the jaws make contact with the work.

gap in the bed at the headstock end to accommodate work that is short and larger in diameter than can be swung over the bed.

BACK GEARBACK GEARWhere a belt drive is used, a range
of low speeds is given often by means of a back gear. If the lathe has three pulleys, thus giving a range of three spindle speeds, back gear will provide three lower speeds.

• They are used for heavier cutting operations because of their good lubricating properties and are commonly found in production machines where high rates of metal removal are employed. Mineral oils are very suitable for steels but should not be used on copper or its alloys since it has a corrosive effect.
