Describe the types of machining operations that can be performed on a lathe.
Explanation of Solution
Lathe machines are highly adaptable and have the capacity to perform numerous machining operations which produce a borad variety of shapes, for example:-
1. Turning: In order to have curved, conical, straight, or grooved workpieces like spindles, shafts, and pins.
2. Facing: In order to produce a flat surface at the end of the part and perpendicular to its axis parts which is assembled with different components? Not to forget face grooving for theapplications as O-ring seats.
3. Cutting with form tools: In order tocreate different axisymmetric shapes for functional purposeor simply for aesthetics.
4. Boring: In order to widen cylindrical cavities or a hole created by anearlier process or to creategroovesthat are circular and are internal.
5. Drilling: In order to produce a holeso asto be followed by boring it for enhancing its dimensional precision as well as its surface finish.
6. Parting: It is known as cutting off as well. This is utilized in order to extract a piece out from the end of a part. The same is done for the manufacturing of slugs or maybe blanks for added processing into discrete products.
7. Threading: In order to create threads that are internalor external.
8 .Knurling: In order to make regular shaped roughness on the cylindrical surfaces, as is the case in producing knobs and handles.

- (a) Explain the difference between roughing and finishing operations in machining.(b) What are the parameters of a machining operation that are included within the scope of cuttingconditions?(c) What is the difference between threading and tapping?(d) A cylindrical workpiece is to be turned in a lathe. Determine the material removal rate if thecutting speed = 2.30 m/s, feed = 0.32 mm/rev, and depth of cut = 1.8 mm.(e) In a turning operation using high-speed steel tooling, the cutting speed = 110 m/min. The Taylortool life equation has parameters n = 0.140 and C = 150 (m/min) when the operation is conducteddry. When a coolant is used in the operation, the value of C is increased by 15%. Determine thepercent increase in tool life that will result if the cutting speed is maintained at 110 m/min.arrow_forward(j) In a turning operation on stainless steel with hardness = 200 HB, the cutting speed = 250 m/min, feed = 0.3 mm/rev, and depth of cut = 8 mm. How much power will the lathe draw in performing this operation if its mechanical efficiency = 95%. Use Table below to obtain the appropriate specific energy value.arrow_forwardWhat is a tree lathe?arrow_forward
- In machining a mild steel work piece with carbide tool, the life of the tool was found to be 1 hour and 40 minutes, at a spindle speed of 25 m/min. Calculate the tool life if it has to be operated at a speed of 30% higher than the initial cutting speed. Also calculate the cutting speed if the tool is required to have a life of 2 hours and 45 minutes. Assume Taylor’s exponent value n is 0.28.arrow_forward2 1.23 Tool life can be almost infinite at low cutting speeds.Would you then recommend that all machining be done at low speeds? Explain.arrow_forwardIn a turning operation, the operator has established that a single pass on the cylindrical workpiece must be completed in 5.0 min. The piece is 400 mm long and 150 mm in diameter. Using a feed of 0.30 mm / rev and a depth of cut of 4.0 mm, what speed of cut should be used to meet this machining time?arrow_forward
