 TURNING OPERATIONS

1.0 OBJECTIVES

Familiarize with handling and operating turning machine.

Apply safety procedures while working in the workshop.
Produce part based on technical drawing and meet specific tolerance.

2.0 EQUIPMENT
Equipment used:
Turning Machine
Self-centering spindle (Three Jaw Chuck)
Right hand roughing tools (carbide)
Right hand finishing tools (carbide)
Parting/grooving tools (carbide)

Vernier caliper

Raw Materials: Mild Steel Rod diameter 25mm, 73mm length

3.0 SYNOPSIS & THEORY

Turning is the process of cutting away material by feeding a single point cutting tool past a rotating
round work piece. The cutting action of the single point cutter provides a fast method of machining.
The machined can perform round, square and irregular shape of the work piece. The work piece
may also be turned to any combination of shapes. The machine spindle with jaws holds the work
piece and rotates it. Cutting process will be formed when depth of cut (x-axis) being given and the
(z-axis) tools move along the work piece. Figure 2 shows turning machine at “Makmal Teknologi
Pemesinan (Lathe)” .

TURNING OPERATIONS

Figure 1 Turning Operations

a. Facing
This is usually the first step of any lathe operation on the lathe machine. The metal is cut
from the end to make it fit in the right angle of the axis and remove the marks

b. Turning / Parellel turning

This operation is adopted in order to cut the metal parallel to the axis. Parallel turning is
done to decrease the diameter of the metal.

c. Tapering
Tapering is to cut the metal to nearly a cone shape with the help of the compound slide.

d. Threading
Threading tool moves axially, along the side of the workpiece, cutting threads into the
outer surface. The threads can be cut to a specified length and pitch and may require
multiple passes to be formed.

e. Grooving
A single-point turning tool moves radially, into the side of the workpiece, cutting a groove
equal in width to the cutting tool.

f. Boring
A boring tool enters the workpiece axially and cuts along an internal surface to form
different features, such as steps, tapers, chamfers, and contours

4.0 PROCEDURE

Refer Attached Drawing (Appendix A)

1. Set up cutting tools and clamp one side of the material with the material clamp out from jaw is
about 60 mm length.

2. Perform facing operation on the front side of the material until even surface obtained. The amount
of material removed should not be more than 2mm.

3. Perform turning operation parallel to the spindle axis to reduce the material diameter from 25mm
to 16mm while controlling the accuracy to ± 0.1 mm. (take maximum depth of cut of 0.2mm each
time).

4. Repeat the turning operation to obtain the Ø10 by step turning.

5. Set the tool post to an angle of 8 degree and perform taper turning operation on the 16mm
diameter by using compound rest traverse handweel.

6. Perform grooving process using 3mm width parting/grooving tool to create 9mm diameter neck.

7. Clamp the workpiece at 16mm diameter area and do facing process until the end product length
achieved and followed by turning operation to reduce the diameter from 25mm to 20mm.

8. Check the necessary dimensions using vernier caliper and write down in the report sheet.

5.3 Discussion

1. List 5 safety measures while operate lathe machine.

- Always wear safety equidment like glasses
- Rollup sleeves and tuck in shirt to avoid accident
- Always wear safety boot to avoid leg damage like material fall
-Do not touch chuck or material when lathe machine is operate
-Always check the material is tighted to avoid material fall or flying

2. List 3 main components of lathe machine and briefly explain their functions.

Live Center : A revolving center, constructed that the 60 degree center runs
3 Jaw Chuck :To clamp or hard an object with radial symmetry "cylinder" and especially
for rotating workpiece
Tool Post :Is a machine tool that spins a block of material when abrasive, cutting, or
deforming tool are applied to the block

3. What did you observed from the result?

- From what we observed when using the machine is, setting the tool bit is the important.
this is because when using the machine,it will determine the cutting prosess to run smooth
or rough. Other than that we had make a mistake when cutting the tapper side because of
wrong angle and make our material not spesific as the drawing.

6.0 CONCLUSION

Conclude your project

In conclusion when running the machine is, we always need to double check or confirm the
diameter, length and other so that we can avoid mistake ,miscalculate and careless mistake
that can cause the material to not look as requested.
