• Difference between machines and machine tool
• Definition of machining

• Lathe operations
4. Machine?????????
• Machine is defined as an assembly of mechanisms that are clustered
together to perform certain operations by utilizing electrical,
mechanical, hydraulic and/or pneumatic power.
• Total number of mechanisms exist within a machine may vary from
just few to few hundreds
• Accordingly size of a machine also varies.
• Some machines, irrespective of their size, are portable. For example, a
hand drill (small machine) and a large mining crane both are portable.
5. Machine Tool ????
• Machine tool is a
power operated,
non-portable
valuable machine that can perform multiple machining operations by
remove excess material from a pre-formed blank with the help of a
suitable cutting tool.
6. CHARACTERISTICS of machine tool
• It must be power driven (human operated machines are not
machine tools). The form of power at input to the machine tool can
be either electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic or a non-
conventional one.
• It must be non-portable (portability irrespective of size). Thus
machine tools are always firmly installed with the shop floor.
• It must have sufficient value (value in terms of capability and
performance; not on the basis of cost).
• It can perform more than one machining or metal cutting
operations.
• It utilizes a cutting tool to shear off excess materials from
workpiece.
• Examples of machine tool include Lathe machine tool, Milling
machine tool, Shaping machine tool, Industrial drilling & boring
machine tool, etc. Therefore, all machine tools are basically
machines, but not vice versa.
7. MACHINING??????
• Machining is any of various
processes in which a piece
of raw material is cut into a
desired final shape and size
by a controlled material-
removal process.
8. i n t r o d u c t i o n to m a c h i n e t o o l s
• Machine Tools: Machining equipment that cuts, shears, punches,
presses, drills, grinds.
• Machine tools are generally the power driven metal cutting or metal
farming machines used to alter/change the
• Workpiece to the required shape and size by:
1. Cutting away the unwanted sections
2. Pressing, drawing, punching or shearing
3. Controlled electrical machinery process
9. G e n e r a t i o n o f M a c h i n e T o o l s
a) Machine tools are operated manually or with
automatic control.
b) The earlier machines used flywheels to stabilize their
motion and had complex system of gears and levers to
control the machine and the piece being worked on.
c) Machines continued to be improved and soon after
World War II, the numerical controlled (NC) machine
was developed.
d) The NC machines used a series of numbers punched
on paper tape or punch cards to control their motion.
e) Lately computers have been added and the
Computerized Numerical Control (CNC) machines have
allowed industry to produce parts quickly and
accurately.
f) The operating commands that control the machine
tool are executed with amazing speed, accuracy,
efficiency and reliability.

11. INTRODUCTION
11
Lathe is one of the most important machine tools in the
metal working industry. A lathe operates on theprinciple
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”.
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.
12. WORKING PRINCIPLE OF LATHE MACHINE
The lathe is a machine tool which holds the work piece
between two rigid & strong supports called centers or in
a chuck or in face plate which revolves.
The cutting tool is held and fed against the revolving
work. Cutting tool fed either parallel or at right angles to
the axis of w/p. Or may also at an angle .
12
16. SPEED LATHE
16
It is the simplest type lathe.
Due to high speed of spindle it is called “Speed Lathe”.
Speed of Spindle : 1200 to 3600 rpm.
It is mainly used for metal spinning, polishing etc.
17. ENGINE OR CENTER LATHE
In starting it was driven by steam engine, So it is called
as Engine lathe.
Not production lathe, found in school shops, tool rooms,
and job shops.
Primarily for single piece or short runs.
Manually operated.
Types :-
a) Belt driven lathe
b) Individual motor driven lathe
c) Gear head drive lathe
17
18. BENCH LATHE
It is small sized engine lathe mounted on bench.
A bench top model usually of low power used to make
precision machine small & light weight work pieces.
18
19. TOOL ROOM LATHE
19
Same as engine lathe.
It is used for production of small & precision works like
tools, gauges, fixtures and accurate parts in tool room.
Different speeds can achieved.
Costly as compared to a same size engine lathe.
20. CAPSTAN & TURRET LATHE
20
Modified Engine lathe.
Capstan lathes are used in mass production used for
light duty work pieces.
Turret lathes are used in mass production and for
heavy duty work pieces.
No tailstock.
Instead of tailstock hexagonal turret is there.
No time waste for re-setting of tools.
22. SPECIAL PURPOSE LATHE
22
Conventional/programmable lathe.
Operated as standard lathe or programmable lathe to
automatically repeat machining operations.
Computerized numerically controlled lathes.
Cutting-tool movements controlled by computer-
controlled program to perform sequence of operations
automatically.
24. AUTOMATIC LATHE
A lathe in which the work piece is automatically fed and
removed without use of an operator. It requires very less
attention after the setup has been made and the machine
loaded.

40. OPERATION
TURNING
To remove material from the outside diameter of a work-
piece to obtain a finished surface.
Work piece become cylindrical.
Motion of tool is parallel to the work piece surface.
40
41. OPERATION
FACING
To produce a flat surface at the end of the work- piece or
for making face grooves.
To make side surface perpendicular via cutting tool
Motion of tool is perpendicular to the work piece
surface.
41
42. OPERATION
TAPER TURNING
Dia. of cylindrical work piece decreasing or increasing
gradually is called as taper turning.
1 Types of taper turning:
2 By using form tool.
3By setting over tailstock center.
4 By swiveling the compound rest.
5 By using taper turning attachment.
42
43. OPERATION
THREADING
To produce external or internal threads on the work-
piece.
Pointed form tool is fed linearly across surface of
rotating work part parallel to axis of rotation at a large
feed rate, thus creating threads.
43
44. OPERATION
GROOVING
Tool is fed radially into rotating work at some location to
cut off end of part, or provide a groove.
44
46. OPERATION
BORING
To enlarge a hole or cylindrical cavity made
by a previous process or to produce circular
internal grooves.
Boring mills are used for large work pieces
Boring produces circular internal profiles in
hollow work pieces
Machines are available with
a variety of features
