MACHINING PROCESSES
Machining is one of the processes of manufacturing in which the specified shape to the work
piece is imparted by removing surplus material. Conventionally this surplus material from the
work piece is removed in the form of chips by interacting the work piece with an appropriate
tool. This mechanical generation of chips can be carried out by single point or multi point
tools or by abrasive operations these are summarized below:
Machining Processes
The process of chip formation in metal cutting is affected by relative motion between the tool
and the work piece achieved with the aid of a device called machine tool. This relative
motion can be obtained by a combination of rotary and translatory movements of either the
tool or the work piece or both. The kind of surface that is produced by the operation depends
on the shape of the tool and the path it traverses through the materials. When the work piece
is rotated about an axis and the tool is traversed in a definite path relative to the axis, a
surface of revolution is generated. When the tool path is parallel to the axis, the surface
generated is a cylinder as in straight turning or boring operations. Similarly, planes may be
generated by a series of straight cuts without rotating the work piece as in shaping and
planning operations (Fig.3). In shaping the tool is reciprocating and the work piece is moved
crosswise at the end of each stroke. Planning is done by reciprocating the work piece and
crosswise movement is provided to the tool.
Surface may be machined by the tools having a number of cutting edges that can cut
successively through the work piece materials. In plane milling, the cutter revolves and
moves over the work piece as shown Fig. 4. The axis of the cutter is parallel to the surface
generated. Similarly in drilling, the drill may turn and be fed into the work piece of the work
piece may revolve while the drill is fed into it (Fig.5).
The machine tools, in general, provide two kinds of relative motions. The primary motion is
responsible for the cutting action and absorbs most of the power required to perform the
machining action. The secondary motion of the feed motion may proceed in steps or
continuously and absorbs only a fraction of the total power required for machining. When the
secondary motion is added to the primary motion, machine surfaces of desired geometric
characteristics are produced.

2. STEP TURNING OPERATION
Aim:
To perform a step turning operation on the given cylindrical work piece
Apparatus:
1. Lathe with standard accessories. 2. Work piece
Principle:
Turning is a lathe operation in which an external cylindrical surface is produced by
generating. The cutting Tool is first adjusted for the desired depth of cut, using the cross
slide. Then as the work piece rotates, the cutting tool is advanced relatively slowly I a
direction parallel to the rotational axis of the spindle. The motion is known as the feed. These
combined motions cause the work piece by adjusting the feed so that the helical path of the
tool tip overlaps and generates a cylindrical surface on the work piece. A spindle rpm which
gives a desired cutting speed at the circumference of the cylindrical surfaces should be
reflected.
Tools:
Steel rule, outside calipers, tool holder with key, chuck key, HSS cutting Tool bit.
Procedure:
Initially the given work piece is fitted the chuck using a chuck key. The high speed tool bit
is positioned in the tool cutting is kept at an angle to the axis of the given work
piece. During this process positioned in the tool holder, the speed of the lathe is high. After
this operation, the diameter of the work piece is to be reduced according to the given
dimensions by turning process. While doing the work piece one end of the work piece is
reduced to the required diameter and after this, chamfering. Process if performed by burning
the tool but at 450 inclination and by bringing the tool in contact with the edge of the job, this
process removes all sharp edges of the component.
Precautions:
1. The chuck key must be removed immediately after the use.
2. The power supply switched off before measuring diameter.
3. Before performing facing they must be in same line.
Result:
The required steps are made on the work piece for the given dimensions.

3. TAPER TURNING OPERATION
Aim:
Test Procedure to perform Taper turning operation by Compound Rest Swiveling method on
the given cylindrical work piece.
Apparatus:
1. Lathe with standard accessories. 2. Work piece
Principle:
Cutting Tapers on a lathe is common application. A number of methods are available for
cutting tapers on a lathe.
They are:
1. Compound rest Swivelling Method.
2. Using form tools.
3. Tail stock offset method.
4. Taper attachment method.
These methods are used for turning steep and short tapers. There is a circular base graduated
in degrees which can be swivelled at any angle from the centre line of the lathe centres. The
amount of taper in a work piece is usually specified by the ratio of the difference in diameters
of the taper to its length. This is termed as conicity and is designated by the letter K.
Conicity K = (D-d)/(2l)
Tools:
Chuck key, high speed Steel (HSS) cutting tool bit, outside callipers, Tool Holder with key,
spanner etc.
Material:
Mild Steel round rod of diameter 20 mm
Procedure:
The work piece is fixed in the tool post tightly and the center of head stock and tail stock is
coincided with the centers of head stock and tail stock. Facing and plain turning operations
are performed to get the required diameter on the work piece. The compound rest is set on
the required half taper angle and is locked by the cutting rod is adjusted to a fixed position for
the best possible to the open hand wheel and cross feed. Then the carriage is locked and first

cut is made at the end of the cut, the tool is again cross fed is given for the next cut. Cuts are
repeated piece is then removed from the chuck and dimensions obtained
Precautions:
1. The work piece should be fixed tight in the jaw.
2. The power supply switched off before measuring diameters.

Aim:
Test Procedure to perform Thread cutting operation on the given cylindrical work piece.
Apparatus:
1. Lathe with standard accessories
2. Work piece
Material:
Mild Steel round rod of diameter 20 mm
Procedure:
The given work piece is fixed tightly in the 3 jaw chuck. Facing and turning operations are
done to make the diameter equal to the major diameter of the screw thread. According to the
given Pitch, the necessary gearing ratio is calculated. The feed selection lever that unlocks the
half-nut lever for use, is set on the carriage apron for cutting metric threads, the included
angle of the cutting edge should be ground exactly 600, the thread cutting tool is fixed in the
tool post so that the tip of the tool coincides with the axis of the work piece the lathe spindle
speed is reduced by on half, on forth of the speed required for turning by back gear
mechanism or quick change levers. The half nut lever engaged at the end of the cut, the spirit
nut lever disengages the carriage and the tool is withdrawn to its position sufficient depth is
given for each cut using the cross slide the process is repeated till the required dimensions are
obtained.
Precautions:
1. For cutting right threads the change gears should be so arranged that the direction of the
lead screw is in same direction as that of the rotation of spindle.
2. The work piece should be fixed tight in the jaw.
3. The power supply switched off before measuring diameters.
