Introduction

Lathe Machine is one of the oldest machine tools in the production machine.
This Machine is also known as the “mother of all machines”.

A lathe machine is a machine tool that removes the undesired material


from a rotating work piece in the form of chips with the help of a tool
that is traversed across the work and can be feed deep into the work.
It one of the most versatile and widely used machine tools all over the
world.
Lathe Machine Parts
The Lathe Machine consists of following Main Parts:
Bed
Headstock
Tail stock
Carriage
Saddle
Cross Slide
Compound rest
Tool Post
Apron
Chuck
Feed rod
Lead Screw
Spindle
Bed:
The bed of the lathe machine is the base on which all the other parts of the lathe are
mounted. The bed is made from cast iron or nickel cast iron alloy and is supported on broad
box-section columns.

The three major units mounted on a bed are:


1.Headstock.
2.Tailstock.
3.Carriage.

Headstock:
The headstock is present on the left end of the bed. The main function of the headstock
is to transmit power to the different parts of the lathe.

Tailstock:
The tailstock is a movable casting located opposite to the headstock on the way of the bed.
The basic function of the tailstock is:
1.To support the other end of the work when being machined.
2.To hold a tool for performing operations like drilling, reaming, tapping, etc.
Carriage:
Carriage is located between headstock and tailstock. The basic function of the carriage is to
support, guide, and feed the tool against the job during operation.
It consists of 5 main parts:
Saddle
Cross Slide
Compound rest
Tool Post
Apron
Saddle:
It is an H-shaped casting mounted on the top of the lathe ways. It provides support to
cross-slide, compound rest, and tool post.

Cross Slide:
Cross slide is provided with a female dovetail on one side and assembled on the top of the
saddle with its male dovetail.
Carriage basically provides a mounted or automatic cross-movement for the cutting tool.

Compound Rest:
Compound rest is present on the top of the cross slide. It supports the tool post and cutting
tool in its various positions. Compound rest is necessary for turning angles and boring short
tapers and forms on forming tools.
Tool Post:
The tool post is mounted on the compound rest. It is used to hold various cutting tool
holders.

Apron:
The Apron is fastened to the saddle and hangs over the front of the bed. Apron consists of
the gears and clutches for transmitting motion from the feed rod to the carriage, and the
split nut which engages with the lead screw during cutting threads.

Chuck:
Chuck is basically used to hold the work piece, particularly of short length and large diameter
or of irregular shape which can’t be conveniently mounted between centers. It can be
attached to the lathe by screwing on the spindle nose.
Four different types of chucks are most commonly used in Lathe:
•Independent or four-jaw chuck
•Three jaw or universal chuck
•Collect chuck and
•Magnetic Chuck
Feed Rod:
Feed rod is a power transmission mechanism used for precise linear movement of the
carriage along the longitudinal axis of the lathe.

Lead screw:
The lead screw is used mostly in the case when the threading operation is to be performed
on a lathe.
