This document provides information about various lathe machine accessories and operations. It describes common work holding devices like three jaw chucks for holding cylindrical stock and four jaw chucks which have independently adjustable jaws. It also mentions collet chucks for small workpieces and magnetic chucks for thin jobs. Other accessories discussed include lathe centers, lathe dogs, mandrels, rests, and face plates. Finally, it outlines various lathe operations like facing, turning, threading, drilling, tapering, knurling and grooving.
2. Work Holding Devices
THREE JAWS CHUCK
- For holding cylindrical stock centered.
- For facing/center drilling the end of your
aluminum stock
FOUR JAWS CHUCK
- This is independent chuck generally has four
jaws , which are adjusted individually on the
chuck face by means of adjusting screws
4. • Thin jobs can be held by means of
magnetic chucks.
Collet Chuck
Magnetic Chuck
Collet chuck is used to
hold small workpieces
Thin jobs can be held by
means of magnetic chucks.
5. Lathe Centers
Work to be turned between centers must
have center hole drilled in each end
Provides bearing surface
Support during cutting
Most common have
solid Morse taper shank
60º centers, steel with carbide tips
Care to adjust and lubricate occasionally
7. LATHE DOGS
• LATHE DOGS ARE CAST METAL DEVICES USED TO PROVIE A FIRM
CONNECTION BETWEEN THE HEADSTOCK SPINDLE AND THE W/P
MOUNTED BETWEEN CENTRES.

10. RESTS
• LONG W/P NEED EXTRA SUPPORT THAT TEND TO SPRING
AWAY FROM THE TOOL BIT. WE USE THE REST FOR
PROVIDE SUPPORT.

11. FACE PLATES
• A LATHE FACE PLATE IS A FLAT ROUND PLATE THAT THREADS TO THE
HEADSTOCK SPINDLE TO THE LATHE.
• THE FACEPLATE IS USED FOR IRREGULARLY SHAPED W/P THAT
CANNOT SUCCESFULLY HELD BY CHUCKS.

14. Turning
A single point cutting tool removes material from a rotating
workpiece to generate a cylindrical shape
• Performed on a machine tool called a lathe
• Variations of turning that are performed on a lathe:
• Facing
• Contour turning
• Chamfering
• Cutoff
• Threading
26. Drilling
Drill – cutting tool – held in TS – feed from TS

27. Contour Turning
Instead of feeding the tool
parallel to the axis of
rotation, tool follows a
contour that is not
necessarily straight (thus
creating a contoured
form).

28. Contour Turning
Instead of feeding the tool parallel to the axis of rotation, tool
follows a contour that is other than straight, thus creating a
contoured form

29. Threading
Pointed form tool is fed
linearly across surface
of rotating workpart
parallel to axis of
rotation at a large feed
rate, thus creating
threads
