A Study on Types of Lathe Machine and Operations: Review

Abstract

In this paper, the review of this paper pertaining to the present research topic has been carried out to gain knowledge and to become familiar with the established techniques and methodology. Types of Lathe Machine and its Operations is a term that covers a large collection of manufacturing processes designed to remove unwanted material, usually in the form of chips, from a work-piece by different types of lathe machines. It also covers action of individual lathe. Machining is used to convert castings, forgings, or preformed blocks of metal into desired shapes, with size and finish specified to fulfil design requirements. Almost every manufactured product has components that require machining. The basic lathe that was designed to cut cylindrical metal stock has been developed further to produce screw threads, tapered work, drilled holes, knurled surfaces and crankshafts. The typical lathe provides a variety of rotating speeds and a means to manually and automatically move the cutting tool into the workpiece. Machinists and maintenance shop personnel must be thoroughly familiar with the lathe and its operations to accomplish the repair and fabrication of needed parts.
