DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
Syllabus: B. Tech. in Mechanical Engineering (ME) for Working Professionals
Name of the Course: Subject Code: Semester of Study:
Machine Tools Lab PC-ME593 5th
Credit Points: 1.5 Practical: 3Hrs/Week Tutorial:0Hr /Week
Course Outcome: After completion of this course, the learners will be able to
CO1 Measure average cutting temperature & surface roughness in turning under
different speed – feed combinations
CO2 Study the chip formation (type, color & thickness ) through experiment in turning
mild steel and evaluation of role of variation of cutting velocity and feed on chip
reduction coefficient /cutting ratio and shear angle .
CO3 Evaluate tool – wear and tool life in turning mild steel by HSS or carbide tool.
CO4 Prepare jobs using various operations on Lathe & drilling machines
CO5 Produce a cast iron ‘V’ block & a straight toothed spur gear from a cast or forged
disc. On shaper & milling machines.
CO6 Form and grind the given work piece (square rod) into single point cutting tool
