Lathe Operations
Producing conical holes at the ends of the work process by using center drills.
Operation in which excess material is removed from the work periphery to produce cylindrical or conical surfaces. This may include :
- Straight turning
- Shoulder turning
- Taper turning
Process of producing flat end surface that is normal to the work axis rotation.
It is the process of cutting helical groove over a cylindrical or conical work piece. For thread cutting, it is necessary to relate the tool travel with rotation of the work piece by using change gears.
It is the process of indentation of various forms on cylindrical work surface. A knurl tool is held in tool post and pressed against the rotating work with the cross slide, and then it is fed for required length with the carriage.
Parting off or cutting off is the process of separating (cutting) the finished work piece from a bar stock. It is done by a parting tool.
It is the process of producing special contours on the work surface by using form tools.
It is the process of making holes on work piece. The drill is held stationary in the lathe tail stock spindle, and then this is slowly fed into the rotating work piece.
It is the process of enlarging the previously drilled hole with an aid of a single-point cutting tool (Boring tool). It can be referred as internal turning.
It is the process of making a hole smoothly and accurately to size. Holes may be reamed by a straight shank reamer or taper shank reamer.
