1 Objectives

1. To know the lathe machine and how to handle the machine.

2. Understanding the uses of the lathe machine in the industry.
3. To understand how to install cutting tool.

2 List and sketch of equipment and tools

3 Safety Precautions:

4. Make sure entanglement hazards are removed.

5. Keep the floor free from obstruction.
6. Make sure the lathe machine has a start/stop button within easy reach of the operator.
7. Make sure the lathe machine has emergency stop button.
8. Center the drill work deeply enough to provide support for piece while it is turning.
9. Adjust tool rest so that they are slightly above the center of the work.
10. Stop lathe machine before taking measurements of any kind.
11. Keep working surface clean of scarps, tool and materials.
12. Keep floor around lathe machine clean and free oil and grease.

3 Procedure:

1) The cylindrical workpiece is measured by using a Vernier caliper to obtain its dimensions.
13. After obtaining dimensions, the material is placed in the chunk and the tool holder is
adjusted until the point of the facing tool is near to the work piece and there is space left
along the side.
14. A trial cut is performed to smooth the diameter of the workpiece so that it is even. The cross
feed graduated collar is set to 0.
15. The workpiece is removed from the chunk.
16. With the final goal as in Figure 3, we used the height gauge to mark the workpiece at a
height of 2.7mm from both ends.
17. After doing so, the workpiece is placed in the chunk and step 2 is repeated.
18. In order to obtain the desired diameters at both ends, cuts were performed internally
starting from 0.5mm for about 40 times to the not exceeding the length of 2.7mm.
19. Then, we adjust the cross feed graduated collar to 0.1mm and perform the final cut where it
will give the surface a smooth finish as well as give us the dimensions we want.
20. Steps 6, 7 and 8 are repeated for the other end of the workpiece.
21. After completing the cuts on the workpiece, the workpiece is measured using the Vernier
caliper.
22. Thus, our workpiece has been cut, the work area aroundthe lathe machine is cleaned.
23. Rubbish iron are swept and the coolant is wiped dry off and lastly the floor is mopped.
