9. OTHER SHAPERS
Crank type shaper
Crank and slotted link mechanism of a crank type shaper converts the rotation of an electric motor
into reciprocating movement of the ram. Though the lengths of both the forward and return strokes
are equal, the ram travels at a faster speed during return stroke. This quick return is incorporated in
almost all types of shaper.
Hydraulic shaper
The ram of a hydraulic shaper is connected to a piston. Oil at high pressure is pumped to the
cylinder of the hydraulic system. As the oil pushes the piston, the ram reciprocates. Hydraulic
shapers are high power machines and are used for heavy duty work.
Universal shaper
The universal shaper has a special type of table which can be swiveled and positioned at any
angle about a horizontal axis. Apart from the cross and vertical travel, the table of a universal
shaper can be swiveled to any angle to machine inclined surfaces. In the process, the position of the
work in the table need not be changed. These machines are utilized in precision workshops

Operation where the front teeth of the tool are in engagement to
make a flat surface.

73. Angular milling
• Production of an angular
surface on a workpiece other
than at right angles to the axis
of the milling machine spindle
is known as angular milling.
Example of angular milling is
the production of the ‘V’
blocks

74. Straddle milling
• It is the operation of production of
two vertical surfaces on both sides
of the work by two side milling
cutters mounted on the same arbor.

workshop. It is used for
drilling holes on work
pieces in any position,
which is not possible in
a standard drilling
machine.
• These machines can
accommodate drills
from 12mm to 18 mm
diameter.

90. Sensitive drilling machine (or)
Bench drilling machine
• The drill is fed into the work
purely by hand . The operator
can sense the progress of the
drill into the work because of
hand feed. The machine is
named so because of this
reason.
• It can handle drills upto
15.5mm of diameter

91. Upright drilling machine

drilling machine, it is larger and
heavier than a sensitive drilling
machine.
Holes of diameter upto 50mm
can be made with this type of
machine

92. Radial drilling machine
The radial drilling machine
is intended for drilling on
medium to large and heavy
work pieces. It has a heavy
round column mounted on
a large base. The column
supports a radial arm,
which can be raised or
lowered to enable the table
to accommodate work
pieces of different heights.

93. Gang drilling machine
• Gang drilling machine has a long common table and a base. Four to six drill
heads are placed side by side. The drill heads have separate driving motors. This
machine is used for production work. A series of operations like drilling,
reaming, counter boring and tapping may be performed on the work by simply
shifting the work from one position to the other on the work table. Each spindle
is set with different tools for different operations.

94. Multiple spindle drilling machine
This machine is used for
drilling a number of holes in
a work piece simultaneously
and for reproducing the
same pattern of holes in a
number of identical pieces.

95. Deep hole drilling machine

102. Fitting directly in the spindle
• The drill is directly held in the spindle by friction.
• To remove the drill from spindle, a tapered wedge called
drift is forced into the slotted hole in the spindle

103. By using a sleeve
If the shank of drill smaller than
the taper in the spindle hole, a
sleeve is used.
The sleeve with drill is fitted in
the hole of the spindle

104. By using a socket
• Its used when taper shank of the drill is
larger than taper hole of the spindle
• The body of the socket has taper hole
which is larger than the drill spindle
bore
• So the bigger drill can be fitted into the
socket

105. By using chucks
• Its suitable for holding any smaller
size drills, straight shank drills and
other tools not having taper at the
holding end.
• Drill chucks have tapered shanks
which fit into the machine spindle.
• The jaws used to hold the drills

124. GEAR CUTTING

125. GEAR CUTTING METHODS
• By single point form tool
• By shear speed shaping process
• Gear milling using a formed end mill
• Gear broaching
• Template method

126. Gear cutting - single point form tool
• Using the single point cutting tool in planner and shaper
we can produce spur and bevel gears.
• Here form tool is used to make gear on the blank.
• The work is held between the centers and the cutter
reciprocates along the length of the work piece.

127. Gear cutting - speed shaping
process
• Here the form tools are arranged radially in the cutter
head.
• The number of form tools are equal to the number of teeth
to be cut on the gear blank
• All the tooth spaces are cut at the same time by feeding
along with tools towards the centre of the blank during
cutting stroke
• The depth of cut can be adjusted by radial movement.

128. Gear milling using a formed end mill
• The cutting edges are formed to
the shape of the gear tooth space.
• The formed end mill cutter is
held on the spindle of a vertical
milling machine
• The blank is held in the dividing
head and fed against the cutter.
• The axis of cutter and blank is
perpendicular to each other

129. Gear Broaching
– to make internal gears
• Broaching remove material from the piece
surface, gradually by the action of cutting
edges arranged in series, in a single pass by
multi edge tools.
• These tools, which moving through a
straight path, are called broaches and have
very complex elements

130. Gear Broaching
– to make internal gears
• For making gear it has number of cutting edges
equal to number of teeth required on the gear
blank

131. Gear cutting – Template Method
• Here the single point cutting
tool reciprocates in a frame.
• One end of the frame is pivoted
and the other end is connected
with the follower resting on a
stationary template.
• The tool movement of a gear
profile is guided by the
template.

132. GEAR GENERATION
PRINCIPLE

133. Principle
• This is based on the fact that any two involutes gears of
same module will mesh together.
• One of the meshing gear as cutter and the other will
reciprocate and rotate along the width
• For producing high accurate gears the following
process are used
Gear Shaping Process
Gear Planning Process
Gear Hobbing process

134. Gear Shaping Process
• A pinion type of cutter is used.
• Proper angles are given to the
cutter initially
• A hole is made on the cutter for
mounting on a stub arbor or
spindle of the machine.
• The cutter axis and work axis
are parallel to each other.
• The cutter reciprocates
vertically and parallel to the
axis of the blank.
• During this both cutter and
work rotated slowly.
• So the rotation of the cutter
generates the gear profile.

135. Gear Hobbing
• The gear blank is
mounted on a rotating
vertical arbor
• The rotating hobber is
in horizontal position
• The intersection of
these two makes a gear
profile on the blank.

136. FINISHING OF GEAR

137. HONING PROCESS
• It’s a process carried out for finishing
previously machined surfaces.
• Its mostly used for finishing internal
cylindrical surfaces such as drilled or
bored holes

138. Horizontal honing machine
• There is no reciprocating motion to the work in the
machining process.
• But the honing tool rotated and reciprocated for
machining lengthy work piece.

139. Vertical honing machine
• The work is stationary
• But the honing tool in the vertical spindle rotated
and reciprocated to machine the work piece.

140. LAPPING (Polishing machine)
• It’s a fine polishing process carried out by hand or machine.
• The fine abrasive particles are mixed with oil like vegetable
oil, mineral oil, kerosene, olive oil and machine oil.
• This oil is fed between the two surfaces .
• Then the surfaces are rubbed or rotated one over other for
getting fine finishing.

141. Types of lapping
• Hand lapping – for doing ordinary
operations.
example : moulding die , press die

142. Types of lapping – machine lapping
• Machine lapping - for getting highly finished jobs.
ex – crank shaft , piston, gauges, bearing etc.

143. Lapping media
• Metal laps and abrasive powder
• Bonded abrasive
• Abrasive paper or cloth

144. SUPER FINISHING

145. SUPER FINISHING

146. OTHER PROCESS
• POLISHING - This is Similar to grinding
process .using abrasive belt or coated wheel
we polish the work surface. The wheel is
made up of abrasive paper, cloth etc
BUFFING ----- Using the binding solution
the fine abrasive particles are added to
rotating wheel. Then this wheel is rotated
on work for fine finishing

147. THE END
