Turning is performed on a
machine called a lathe in
which the tool is stationary
and the part is rotated.
Turning: Engine Lathe
The figure illustrates an engine
lathe.
Tool is fed
radially inward
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
Reaming
Used to slightly enlarge a hole,
provide better tolerance on
diameter, and improve surface
finish
Knurling
Knurling is an operation used to produce a texture on a turned
machine part. Handles are often knurled in order to provide a
gripping surface. The two wheel inserts shown on the tool below
contact the work piece, and with pressure, cold-form a pattern
into the surface of the part.
Knurling
Boring
The boring tool is fixed in the tail
stock.
Boring can be accomplished on a mill or
even a drill press, but is most accurate
on a lathe, because the fixturing is
relative to the central spindle axis
Boring is rather well named... its, urm, quite boring. Essentially you
have to drill a hole into the job with your biggest drill bit - Then
you have to mount the boring tool on the tool post so that it is
parallel to the ways. Then you use the tools to slowly increase the
inside diameter of the job to the size you require. The most you
can take off in each pass is about 0.5mm - so it can take a long time
to make a 2 inch bore hole!
Boring
You mount your work piece inside the chuck not a tail
stock.
