INTRODUCTION

 Lathe is a tool that used to create an object which has symmetry about an axis of rotation. It
can perform various operations such as cutting, knurling, drilling, facing ,turning, boring,
undercutting, and deformation. This machine just operate round work piece but it can
accommodate with the varying work piece lengths. The work holding method used was
clamping the work using a chuck or collet for the short work piece and rotating lathe center
was used in addition for the long work piece.

OBJECTIVE

 In this lathe machine project, we as students will get information on how to properly operate
and use the lathe machine. One of the most crucial machines in every workplace is the lathe.
Its major goal is to remove material from the exterior of the work by spinning it against a
cutting tool. A lathe is used to make cylindrical work, but it may also be used for other
things like drilling, threading, grinding, milling, and so on.

EQUIPMENT/MATERIAL

NAME/SKETCH FUNCTION
Raw Material Aluminum

 Metal that is silvery white, soft, and

ductile. Bauxite is the most common
resource of aluminum. Metal with a
low density and corrosion resistance.

Lathe Machine

 A lathe is a machine that can perform

operations such as turning, facing,
drilling, threading, undercutting, and
knurling on a component.

Vernier Caliper  Vernier caliper is used to measure an

object with dimension up to 200mm.
 It can be used measured internal and
external dimension.
 Vernier caliper available in metric and
imperial units.
 It can be measured accuracy within
0.01mm.

Rotating Lathe Centre

 Ensure that the work piece was hold at
the Centre and used as a support for
the long work piece.

Knurling Tool

 A tool to make a pattern on the

work piece surface, where it makes
the round part easy to hold.

Drill Bit
 In order to create a component, a
sharp tool bit is utilized to remove
the undesired surface.

Chuck Key

 Used to tighten the chuck for

clamping process.

Cutting Tools
 A cutting tool, often known as a
cutter, is any tool that uses shear
deformation to remove material
from a work piece. Single-point or
multipoint tools can be used for
cutting.

PROCEDURES
PROCEDURES DIAGRAM

 A brief explanation by lecturer on

how to operate lathe machine.

 Taking a dimension of the work

piece and comparing with given
dimension and drawing.

 Applying safety tools.

 Begin to operate the lathe

machine.

 Designing work piece according

to given drawing and
measurement. (Includes facing,
turning, knurling, drilling and
turning angle)

 Taking final measurements of the

work piece.

 Keeping tools inside safety box.

 Cleaning workspace environment

after finishing projects.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

I. Dress correctly. Remove all accessories such as rings, watches, nametags and roll sleeves
above elbows.
II. Do not change spindle speeds until lathe is completely stopped.
III. Handle sharp tools and objects with care.
IV. Remove chuck keys and wrenches before operating.
V. Always wear safety goggles or any form of eye protection.
VI. Recognize where emergency stop button is before operating the lathe.
VII. Use pliers or brush to remove chips and debris.
VIII. NEVER lean on the lathe.
IX. Do not measure work while lathe is operating.
X. Keep tools overhang as short as possible.

PRACTICAL TASK DJJ10022 – MECHANICAL WORKSHOP PRACTICE 1

DISCUSSION

Problems that occurred while using lathe machine:

- Measurement of the work piece uneven/inconsistent

Uneven measurement of work piece results in confusion. Problems occurred due to several
checking on the work piece measurement.
Occurring problems:
I. Work piece slightly moved during rotation. To overcome this problem, a clamp was
used on half the work piece.
II. Digital reader of lathe machine is not precise. Measurements using vernier caliper
manually was used instead.

- Clamping leaving marks on work piece.

I. When clamp was used, it left marks on the work piece. The marks affected the
finishing process and possibly the measurement of the work piece diameter. It is avoided by
using some paper and folding it on the work piece before clamping it again. This prevents
further pressure on the clamp since aluminum is soft.

CONCLUSION

Finally, the experiment's ultimate result concludes that the acquired results were exact and
accurate, indicating that the experiment was a success. Although a few random and
systematic mistakes in the dimension of the pieces were detected due to the measurements
made throughout the experiment, the workshop was overall a success and helped us to
understand more about the working process of a lathe machine due to the limited margin of
error. The experiment is preferably carried out with or in the company of a qualified person.
The mild steel rod we machined fit exactly in the cylinder die that was bored, and the
diameter was inserted at the end of the cylinder and it fit flawlessly.
