 OBJECTIVE

In this project, we as a student to take knowledge to

understand how to grind the lathe tools and use the lathe
machine correctly. The lathe is one of the most important
machines in any workshop. Its main objective is to remove
material from outside by rotating the work against a cutting
tool. We also need to learn which angle is the best to grind
for the cutting tools.
 INTRODUCTION

TOOL BIT
-A tool bit is a non-rotary cutting tool used in metal lathes, shapers, and
planers. Such cutters are also often referred to by the set-phrase name of
single-point cutting tool, as distinguished from other cutting tools such as a
saw or water jet cutter. The cutting edge is ground to suit a particular
machining operation and may be resharpened or reshaped as needed. The
ground tool bit is held rigidly by a tool holder while it is cutting.

GRINDER MACHINE
-A grinding machine, often shortened to grinder, is one of power tools or
machine tools used for grinding, it is a type of machining using an abrasive
wheel as the cutting tool. Each grain of abrasive on the wheel’s surface cuts a
small chip from the workpiece via shear deformation. Grinding is used to finish
workpieces that must show high surface quality and high accuracy of shape
and dimension. As the accuracy in dimensions in grinding is of the order of
0.000025 mm, in most applications it tends to be a finishing operation and
removes comparatively little metal, about 0.25 to 0.50 mm depth. However,
there are some roughing applications in which grinding removes high volumes
of metal quite rapidly. Thus, grinding is a diverse field.

 SAFETY PROCEDURES

- Using google while operates machine.

Lathes often spit out chips and other pieces of hot, sharp metal.
Wear industrial safety glasses with side shields to protect your
eyesight.

- Wearing safety shoes.

Protective footwear is needed when there is the risk of foot
injury due to slipping, crushing potential, puncture hazard and
any other recognizable hazard.

- Wearing appropriate attire.

Lathes can easily catch long sleeves and loose clothing. Its best
to wear short sleeves or long with fitted cuffs that cannot get
caught and drawn into lathe. Wear long pants to protect your
legs and feet from hot metal.

- Obey safety rules.

Lathe operation must be approved by lecturer for every use.
Extensive training and experience is required to operate lathe
without direct and constant supervision.
 PROCEDURES

1. Use a bench grinder to sharpen your tool bits.

2. Keep a small cup of water near your grinder. Grinding

generates heat, which can cause two problems. The tool bit
will become too hot to hold. Overheating can also affect the
heat treatment of the tool bit, leaving the cutting edge soft.

3. Use a protractor to measure the angles. They are not super-

critical, but you should try to stay within one degree of the
recommendations.
4. The first step in creating a tool bit is to grind the front
relief. For most work, a relief angle of 10° works well.
While you are grinding the front relief, you are also
creating the front cutting edge angle.

5. Form the left side relief next. Again, create about a 10°
angle. You don’t need to form a side cutting angle. The side
cutting edge can be parallel to the side of the tool blank.

6. The top of the tool bit is ground at an angle that combines

the back rake and the side rake. The side rake is most
important, because the side cutting edge does most of the
work. For cutting steel and aluminum, the side rake should
be about 12° and the back rake should be about 8°.
 RESULTS

-FRONT RELIEF

-LEFT SIDE RELIEF

-TOP RAKE
 CONCLUSION

This training has proved to be quiet faithful. This gave me a

chance to have an encounter with such heavy machine like
grinder machine and lathe machine. It also increase my skills
to grind the cutting tools with the correct angle. I also able to
operate the lathe machine by myself. When we are doing
that work, we must follow all the safety procedures to ensure
that nothing dangerous happen to us.
