 CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION

 A lathe machine is used for rotating a

workpiece in order to perform sanding,
cutting, drilling, knurling and turning
operations on the workpiece. Lathes have
been used on woodworking, metal parts and
also on plastic nylon parts for a long time in
the industry. So here we study the design and
fabrication of a mini lathe machine. Our
machine consists of a motor with belt
arrangement used to drive the lathe chuck.
The machine consists of a bed with a movable
arrangement.

 It consists of a holder in order to hold the
desired tool in desired position. We use a
chuck attached to the spindle shaft in order to
run the motor. Our motor once powered
transmits this power to the spindle through a
belt mechanism, which is then used to rotate
the chuck. This rotates the workpeice in
chuck. The machine is built to hold and rotate
the workpeice and move the tool in a sliding
mechanism, so as to achieve the desired
operations. The machine outer frame is
designed to hold the workpeice firmly with
tool in place so as to achieve desired
operations with ease.
 Thus we successfully study the design and
fabrication.

CHAPTER 3
WORKING PRINCIPLE

6
The lathe is a machine tool which holds the workpiece between two rigid and strong
supports called centers or in a chuck or face plate which revolves. The cutting tool is
rigidly held and supported in a tool post which is fed against the revolving work. The
normal cutting operations are performed with the cutting tool fed either parallel or
at right angles to the axis of the work.

LATHE OPERATIONS

The engine lathe is an accurate and versatile machine on which many operations can
be performed. These operations are

1. Plain Turning and Step Turning

2. Facing

3. Parting

4. Drilling

5. Reaming

6. Boring

7. Knurling

8. Grooving

9. Threading

10. Forming

11. Chamfering

12. Filling and Polishing

13. Taper Turning
