Study Notes
Fundamentals of Turning, Boring, and Facing Turning
- Turning, Boring, and Facing Processes use a single-point cutting tool to machine a workpiece.
- Cutting speed (V), feed rate (fr), and depth of cut (d) determine the inputs needed for turning.
- Cutting speed is measured in feet per minute and determines the revolutions per minute (rpm) of the workpiece.
- Feed rate is measured in inches per revolution and determines the amount of material removed with each revolution.
- Depth of cut is the amount of material removed in each pass.
- The length of cut includes the distance traveled parallel to the axis (L) and an allowance or overrun (A) to allow for tool entry and exit.
- Cutting time can be calculated using the formula: T = (L + A) / fr.
- Metal removal rate (MRR) is the volume of material removed per unit of time, approximated by: MRR = π/4 * d * D1 * fr * V.
- It is important to select the right cutting speed, feed rate, and depth of cut to ensure efficient machining and prevent damage to both the tool and the workpiece.
Boring
- Boring is the process of enlarging an existing hole.
- Holes can be bored straight, tapered, threaded, or to irregular contours.
- The cutting time for boring can be calculated as: T = (L + A) / fr.
- Where D1 is the diameter of the bore and A is the overrun allowance.
- The metal removal rate for boring can be calculated as: MRR = π/4 * d * (D1^2 - D2^2) * fr * V.
- Where D2 is the original hole diameter.
Drilling
- Drilling on lathes can be done with the drill mounted in the tailstock quill or turret.
- Coolants should be used when drilling to prevent overheating and improve tool life.
- Peck drilling is used for deep holes to clear chips and allow coolant to reach the cutting edges.
Lathe Design and Terminology
- Lathes are machine tools designed for turning, facing, and boring.
- The tool post is mounted on a compound rest, which allows for precise tool positioning.
- The carriage is moved parallel to the ways by turning a handwheel on the front of the apron.
- Lathe size is designated by swing (maximum diameter of work) and distance between centers.
- Lathe types include speed, engine, toolroom, turret, automatics, tracer, and numerical control turning centers.
- Engine lathes are the most common and have power drive for all tool movements except on the compound rest.
Cutting Tools for Lathes
- Quick-change tool holders reduce tool-changing time in lean manufacturing cells.
- Turret-lathe tooling setup involves a sequence of operations to machine a workpiece.
- Each operation is assigned to a specific tool and position on the turret.
Workholding in Lathes
- Five common methods for supporting workpieces in lathes are:
- Held between centers
- Held in a chuck
- Held in a collet
- Mounted on a faceplate
- Mounted on the carriage
- In the first four methods, the workpiece is rotated during machining.
- In the fifth method, the tool rotates while the workpiece is fed into the tool.
