Taper Turning Operation in Lathe

Taper turning is a lathe operation that produces a conical surface on a cylindrical workpiece. There are four main methods of taper turning: 1) swiveling the compound rest, 2) using a taper turning attachment, 3) tailstock set over method, and 4) using a form tool. The tailstock set over method is the most common and involves offsetting the tailstock to incline the workpiece axis at an angle for cutting the taper.

Taper turning operation in lathe

Taper turning involves producing a conical surface on a

cylindrical surface in lathe.

A taper surface can be produced either by,

1. Rotating the job normally and feeding the tool at

some angle (like in compound rest swivel method)

2. Rotating the job at an off–set angle and feeding the

tool normally (like in tail stock set – over method).

Methods of taper turning:

1. Swiveling the compound rest.

2. Tailstock set over method.

3. Taper turning attachment method.

4. By using form tool.

Principle of taper turning by swiveling
compound tool rest method.

Dept. of Mech & Mfg. Engg. 3


• In this method the job is rotated on the lathe axis,

• Tool feeding is done at an angle, by the swiveled

compound rest.

• To assist in swiveling at particular angle, the base of the

compound rest is graduated in degrees.


Dept. of Mech & Mfg. Engg. 4
Taper angle: Angle at which the compound rest to be

rotated is calculated as below.


Dd
tan α =
2L
α = half taper angle
D = larger diameter of the taper in mm.
d = smaller diameter of the taper in mm.
L = length of the taper in mm.

The tool feeding is done only by the compound rest handle


so that the tool moves at the set angle only.

Taper turning by Tailstock set over method

Dept. of Mech & Mfg. Engg. 6


Taper turning by Tailstock set over method

• Known as Offsetting
the Tailstock
• Most common method

• Only external tapers


can be produced
• Amount of offset is
limited by the size of
the tailstock
Dept. of Mech & Mfg. Engg. 7
Working:
The tailstock centre is set out of alignment, as a result :
» Axis of the work piece gets inclined at an angle
to the longitudinal movement of the tool
» Movement of the tool is parallel to the lathe bed

DRILLING

About drilling
• Drilling is the operation of making holes in a work piece
using drill bit.
• Tool used – Twist Drill
• Consist of helical groove (FLUTE) along the length of the
tool
• Machine used – Drilling Machine
• The stationary work is held in a fixture and the rotating
tool is fed vertically down.
• Removes the material, layer by layer
• Chips get curled and escape through the groove

DRILLING

Drilling is a metal cutting process carried

out by a rotating cutting tool to make

circular holes in solid materials.

Dept. of Mech & Mfg. Engg. 11


Drilling Machine

A power operated machine tool, which holds the

drill in its rotating spindle and produces a hole when

moved linearly against the work piece.

Dept. of Mech & Mfg. Engg. 12


Coolant is used during machining:
• To remove the heat of friction

• To provide better finish to the hole

Types of Drilling Machines
Drilling machines may be classified as
1. Portable drilling machine.

2. Bench or Sensitive drilling machine.


3. Radial drilling machine.
4. Upright drilling machine.
5. Gang drilling machine.
6. Multiple spindle drilling machine.

Dept. of Mech & Mfg. Engg. 14


Bench Drilling Machine

Dept. of Mech & Mfg. Engg. 15


Bench Drilling Machine
• Located generally on the work bench
• Used for small jobs, also called as sensitive drilling machine.
• Used for drilling small and medium sized holes (up to 15mm ).
• Consists of a round column with a rigid base fastened to the
bench
• Has a work holding table and an arm mounted on the round
column
• Arm carries the drill spindle on one side and the drive motor on
the other side
• A stepped cone pulley with V – belt is used to transmit the
power from motor to spindle
Dept. of Mech & Mfg. Engg. 16
Bench Drilling Machine
• The work table can be moved up and down to suit the
required job height and can be locked at suitable height
• The table can rotate about its axis by 360°

• Drilling operation is performed by fixing the job properly


on the work table
• Drill bit is gradually fed by rotating hand feed lever
towards the work piece
• Once the required depth of cut is completed, the feed
lever is rotated in the opposite direction to withdraw the
tool from the work. Dept. of Mech & Mfg. Engg. 17
Radial Drilling Machine

Dept. of Mech & Mfg. Engg. 18


Radial Drilling Machine
• Radial drilling machine is used for medium and
heavy duty applications
• Consists of a heavy, circular column mounted on
a very strong base
• Radial arm that can swing around is mounted on
the column and the radial arm can be raised and
lowered
• Drill head with drive and feed mechanism is fitted
on to the radial arm
• Drill head can move horizontally along the guides
of the arm and can be locked at any desired
position
