- 17. Headstock • Clamped on left-hand end of bed • Headstock spindle –Hollow cylindrical shaft supported by bearings • Provides drive through gears to work- holding devices –Live center, faceplate, or chuck fitted to spindle nose to hold and drive work • Driven by stepped pulley or transmission gears
- 18. Lathe Bed
- 19. Lathe Bed • Heavy, rugged casting • Made to support working parts of lathe • On top section are machined ways –Guide and align major parts of lathe
- 20. Carriage
- 21. Carriage • Used to move cutting tool along lathe bed • Consists of three main parts –Saddle • H-shaped casting mounted on top of lathe ways, provides means of mounting cross-slide and apron –Cross-slide –Apron
- 22. Cross-slide
- 23. Cross-slide • Mounted on top of saddle • Provides manual or automatic cross movement for cutting tool • Compound rest (fitted on top of cross- slide) –Used to support cutting tool –Swiveled to any angle for taper-turning –Has graduated collar that ensure accurate cutting-tool settings (.001 in.) (also cross-slide)
- 24. Apron
- 25. Apron • Fastened to saddle • Houses gears and mechanism required to move carriage or cross-slide automatically • Locking-off lever inside apron prevents engaging split-nut lever and automatic feed lever at same time • Apron handwheel turned manually to move carriage along lathe bed

- 27. Tailstock • Upper and lower tailstock castings • Adjusted for taper or parallel turning by two screws set in base • Tailstock clamp locks tailstock in any position along bed of lathe • Tailstock spindle has internal taper to receive dead center –Provides support for right-hand end of work
- 28. Tool post • There are three main types of tool post used for holding lathe cutting tools: Ring and rocker Four-way turret Quick -change
- 29. Ring and Rocker • With this type, tools are quickly adjusted at centre height by moving the rocker, which beds on the loose ring around the main post.
- 30. Four-way tool post • It has four ways, or sides, which allow four cutting tools to be held at the same time.
- 31. Quick-change • No need for packing. The adjustment is done by means of screw. There are separate tool holders that fit the four faces of the main block and are easily removed and returned to exactly the same setting.
- 32. Compound slide/ Top slide • It is fixed on top of the cross-slide, and can be turned (set) to any desired angle. The compound slide is useful for turning and boring short tapers and chamfers.

- 41. Cutting speed • Cutting speed for turning is the speed at which the work rotates. This is also known as surface speed
- 42. 47-42 Cutting Speed • Rate at which point on work circumference travels past cutting tool • expressed in meters per minute (m/min) • Important to use correct speed for material –Too high: cutting-tool breaks down rapidly –Too low: time lost, low production rates
- 43. Cutting speed selection • The softer the work material, the faster the recommended cutting speed
- 44. • The hardness of the cutting tool material has a great deal to do with the recommended cutting speed. The harder the cutting tool material, the faster the cutting speed. The softer the cutting tool material, the slower the recommended cutting speed
- 45. • The depth of the cut and the feed rate will also affect the cutting speed, but not to as great an extent as the work hardness
- 46. Factors that Determine cutting speed • The material being cut • The rigidity and condition of the machine • The material of which the tool is made from • The depth of cut and the feed rate • Availability of coolant (cutting fluid)
- 47. Setting Speeds on a Lathe • Speeds measured in revolutions per minute – Changed by stepped pulleys or gear levers • Belt-driven lathe – Various speeds obtained by changing flat belt and back gear drive • Geared-head lathe – Speeds changed by moving speed levers into proper positions according to r/min chart fastened to headstock Safety Note!! NEVER change speeds when lathe is running.

- 59. Lathe Centers • Work to be turned between centers must have center hole drilled in each end • Support during cutting • Most common have solid Morse taper shank 60º centers, steel with carbide tips • Care to adjust and lubricate occasionally
- 60. Type of Centres
- 61. Type of Lathe Centres • Lathe centres is used as a support at the end of a work. It is usually made from carbon tool steel. There are three (3) main types of Lathe centres: • Live centre (Revolving centre) • Dead centre • Half centre
- 62. Live centre (Revolving Centre) • It is constructed so that the 60° center runs in its own bearings . • The live centre fits in the spindle (headstock)and rotates with the spindle. • Used when turning between centres
- 63. Centre in Headstock Spindle
- 64. Dead centre • Fits in the tailstock spindle, remains stationary while the work rotates on its point
- 65. Half Centre • A centre that is cut away almost to its point. It is often used in the tailstock for facing up to or for turning close to the end of the work.
- 68. Chucks
- 69. Chucks • Used extensively for holding work for machining operations – Work large or unusual shape • Most commonly used lathe chucks – Three-jaw universal – Four-jaw independent – Collet chuck
- 70. Three-jaw Universal Chuck • Holds round and hexagonal work • Grasps work quickly and accurate • Three jaws move simultaneously when adjusted by chuck Key
- 71. Four-Jaw Independent Chuck • Used to hold round, square, hexagonal, and irregularly shaped workpieces • Has four jaws – Each can be adjusted independently by chuck Key • Jaws can be reversed to hold work by inside diameter
- 72. Headstock Spindles Universal and independent chuck fitted to three types of headstock spindles 1. Threaded spindle nose – Screws on in a clockwise direction
- 73. 2. Tapered spindle nose Held by lock nut that tightens on chuck

- 75. Collet Chuck • Collet chuck is used to hold smallCollet chuck is used to hold small workpieces.workpieces. • Used for high-precision work • Spring collets available to hold round, square, or hexagon-shaped workpieces • Each collet has range of only few thousandths of an inch over or under size stamped on collet
- 77. | Collet Chuck Special adapter fitted into taper of headstock spindle, and hollow draw bar having internal thread inserted in opposite end of headstock spindle. It draws collet into tapered adapter causing collet to tighten on workpiece.
- 79. Lathe Dogs /Carrier • A lathe dog ( lathe carrier) is a device that clamps around the workpiece and allows the rotary motion of the machine's spindle to be transmitted to the workpiece. • A carrier is most often used when turning between centers on a lathe.
- 80. Types of Lathe Dogs • Standard bent-tail lathe dog – Most commonly used for round workpieces – Available with square-head setscrews of headless setscrews • Straight-tail lathe dog – Driven by stud in driveplate – Used in precision turning

- 83. Work Held Between Centres
- 84. Face plate • A faceplate is the basic workholding accessory for a lathe. It is a circular metal plate which fixes to the end of the lathe spindle. The workpiece is then clamped to the faceplate, typically using t-nuts in slots in the faceplate, or less commonly threaded holes in the faceplate itself.
- 85. Faceplate • Used to hold work too large or shaped so it cannot be held in chuck or between centers • Usually equipped with several slots to permit use of bolts to secure work
- 86. Drive plate • Provide the drive when turning between centres
- 87. Steady Rest / Fixed Steady • Used to support long work held in chuck or between lathe centers – Prevent springing • Located on and aligned by ways of the lathe • Positioned at any point along lathe bed • Three jaws tipped with plastic, bronze or rollers may be adjusted to support any work diameter with steadyrest capacity
- 88. Steady Rest
- 89. Steady Rest
- 90. Travelling Steady/Follower Rest • Mounted on saddle • Travels with carriage to prevent work from springing up and away from cutting tool – Cutting tool generally positioned just ahead of follower rest – Provide smooth bearing surface for two jaws of follower rest
- 93. Mandrel • Holds internally machined workpiece between centers so further machining operations are concentric with bore • Several types, but most common – Plain mandrel – Expanding mandrel – Gang mandrel – Stub mandrel
- 94. Plain Mandrel
