Experiment No: 7 Date:

Demonstration of Lathe Machine

Objective: To demonstrate the basic parts and various operations performed on the lathe
machine.

Apparatus:
Lathe Machine

Theory:
A lathe is a machine that rotates the workpiece about an axis.
The main function of a lathe is to remove metal from a piece of work to give it the required shape
and size by holding the work securely and rigidly on the machine and then turning it against cutting
tool which will remove metal from the work in the form of chips. The most common and widely
used is the center or engine lathe for preparing of various turning parts by different turning process.

Precautions while using the Machine.

Before starting the machine, clamp the job on the chuck solidly. Turn the chuck by hand to inspect
the working, prior to the starting of machine. Keep the machine clear of tool and then start. Don’t
stop the rotation of machine chuck by hand. Take measurement only after stopping the machine.
Don’t remove chips by hand. Use brush or plier, if necessary, to remove long chips while working
on the lathe, only operator must switch on/off the machine and not by a second person.
