    Study Notes

    Machine Tools

    • A machine tool is a power-driven machine used for cutting, shaping, and finishing metal or other rigid materials.
    • Modern machine tools are computer numerically controlled (CNC).

    Types of Machine Tools

    • Machine tools can be classified into six groups: drilling and boring, grinding, turning, shaping and broaching, metal forming, and milling.

    Lathe Machine

    • A lathe rotates the workpiece on its axis to perform various operations.
    • A lathe consists of a stand, lathe bed (horizontal beam), headstock, and tailstock.
    • The headstock contains high-precision spinning bearings and a rotating horizontal axle (spindle) that is parallel to the bed.
    • The spindle is powered and imparts motion to the workpiece.
    • The power source is usually an integral electric motor.

    Turning and Drilling

    • Turning is a form of material removal process used to create rotational parts by cutting away unwanted material.
    • Drilling is the process of cutting holes in a solid material using a rotating cutting tool.

    CNC Machines

    • A toolpath is a series of instructions that define the movement of a cutting tool on a CNC machine.

    Applications of Machine Tools

    • Machine tools make the working parts of various products, including telephones, television sets, radios, washing machines, refrigerators, and automobiles.
