    1.0 INTRODUCTION

    The machining operation of turning/lathe aims to trim and cut a workpiece to the desired final
    dimensions. Through the use of a revolving workpiece and a tool bit, undesirable material is
    removed from the workpiece. The tool is linearly moved in a direction parallel to the rotating
    workpiece at a high speed. The tool bit is fed linearly towards the revolving workpiece, as
    shown in Figure 1, and the trimming and cutting process begins. The workpiece must be
    securely fastened inside the spindle (with chuck) to prevent it from moving while rotating at
    high speeds in order to obtain an exact final dimension.

    Lathes work by spinning a cylindrical object, usually a metal workpiece, so that a tool may
    cut into it and create an axial pattern. The workpiece spins about its axis but does not move in
    any other way. The cutting tool is the movable component that moves along the intended cut
    path. The lathe is a very versatile tool. It can be modified to do operations like as turning,
    tapering, screw cutting, facing, knurling, dulling, spinning, grinding, polishing, and boring
    using various attachments and minor changes. The most basic and widely used of these
    actions is turning. It entails cutting a workpiece to a specific diameter with a cutter that is fed
    perpendicular to the rotation axis. Tapering or angled cuts can be done if the tool is fed at an
    angle. This experiment's goal is to learn about and practice the turning process in fabricating
    a component using the lathe machine and assess the possibilities and benefits of the turning
    process.

    Objectives
    The objective of this machining laboratory activities is
    1. To understand the main components of lathe machine and their process operation.
    2. To establish the standard operation procedure for machining process.
    3. To develop the basic machining skill while completing the student project task.
    2.0 PROCEDURE
    Power Saw Machine Operation
    1) Proper PPE is worn before starting conducting the machining operation. The lab sheet is
    analysed before preparing the workpiece.
    2) A long cylinder Aluminum bar material is prepared.
    3) The workpiece is clamped to the machine firmly.

    4) The bandsaw is switched on and the blade tension meter gauge is check. The cutting
    feeder switch is switched on and the feeder feed rate is adjusted to suitable speed accord-
    ing to the workpiece material.
    5) The coolant system is turned on when the cutting process begin and the bandsaw motor
    speed is adjusted to a suitable speed.
    6) The 60 mm of the workpiece is cut and the machine is turned off right away as well as the
    feeder and coolant system.
    7) The top unit is manually lifted and the workpiece is unclamped from the machine. The
    balance raw material is stored away properly.
    8) The bandsaw wheel guard cover is manually flipped up and the cutting waste is remove
    using a brush.

    Lathe Machine Operation


    1. Proper PPE is worn during the laboratory session. Eye protection, safety boots and
    protective clothing are worn throughout the operation.
    2. The main power supply of the machine is switched on.
    3. The DRO of the machine is set to zero and the spindle speed is adjusted to required
    cutting speed. (JLM-550 rpm)
    4. The 60 mm workpiece is mounted in the chuck of the machine.
    5. The spindle rotation is set to counter clockwise rotation and the machine is checked
    before running.
    6. The live centre in placed in the tail stock and the cutting tool is fixed to the tool
    holder. The screw is loosened and tightened using the tool post key. The cutting tool
    is aligned entre with the help of live centre.
    7. The cutting tool is aligned with the workpiece and the facing process is done to re-
    duce the length of the workpiece to 57mm.

    10. The turning process is performed again to reduce the diameter of the workpiece to
    10.8mm for a length of 45mm.

    PICTURE 4: THE DIAMETER OF THE WORKPIECE IS REDUCED


    11. The cutting tool is removed and the parting tool is fixed to the tool holder and the
    centre is checked.
    12. Using the parting tool, the grooving process is performed to the workpiece to create
    7.80mm diameter neck.

    PICTURE 5: GROOVING PROCESS IS DONE


    13. The dimension is measured again and the other side of the workpiece is chamfered.
    14. The parting tool is removed and the cutting tool is placed on the tool holder and align
    with the live centre.
    15. Chamfering is done with ratio 1:1 at 45º angle.
    16. The final work piece dimension is measured again with vernier calliper and the length

    4.0 FINDINGS
    THE SPINDLE SPEED
    The spindle speed is determined by the type of material used. The surface roughness of turn-
    ing product is affected by spindle speed, feed rate and depth of cut effect. The surface rough-
    ness increased with increased feed rate and depth of cut. The surface roughness decreased
    with increased spindle speed.
    CLAMPING OF WORKPIECE TO CHUCK
    The workpiece should be clamped to the workpiece stably to ensure a neat work during the
    operations. Clamping workpiece too tight can also cause damages during the operations.
    5.0 CONCLUSIONS
    From this experiment we are able to learn about and practice the lathe process in product manu-
    facturing. The formation of the product is affected by spindle speed, feed rate and depth of the
    cut. There were numerous lessons to be learned from the operations that were carried out. In -
    creased spindle speed, on the other hand, reduced surface roughness. We can also analyze the
    pros and disadvantages of the lathe technique.
