Thread-Cutting On Lathe Machine Guide

This document discusses thread cutting operations on a lathe machine. It describes the process of external and internal thread cutting. External thread cutting involves reducing the workpiece diameter to the major thread diameter and using change gears to cut a helical groove as the workpiece rotates. Internal thread cutting uses a tool with cutting edges shaped to the thread profile to cut into the bored hole as it rotates. Boring and related operations like counterboring and taper boring are also discussed.

THREAD CUTTING OPERATION ON
LATHE MACHINE
 INTRODUCTION
 A MACHINE TOOL IS A POWER DRIVEN APPARATUS

 DESIGNED TO PERFORM METAL CUTTING BY VARIOUS TYPES


OF CUTTING TOOLS

 MOSTLY THE MACHINED SURFACES ARE REQUIRED TO BE


CYLINDRICAL OR FLAT

 THE WORK OF MACHINE TOOLS IN GENERAL IS CONCERNED


WITH PRODUCING ONE OR BOTH
THREAD CUTTING OPERATION ON
LATHE MACHINE
 INTRODUCTION
 THE LATHE IS A MACHINE TOOL

 REMOVES THE METAL FROM A PIECE OF WORK TO GIVE THE


REQUIRED SHAPE AND SIZE.

 BY HOLDING THE WORK SECURELY AND RIGIDLY ON THE


MACHINE AND THEN TURNING IT AGAINST CUTTING TOOL

 REMOVE METAL FROM THE WORK IN THE FORM OF CHIPS


THREAD CUTTING OPERATION ON
LATHE MACHINE
 COMMON OPERATIONS
 THREAD CUTTING - A THREAD IS A UNIFORM HELICAL
GROOVE CUT INSIDE OF A CYLINDRICAL WORKPIECE, OR ON
THE OUTSIDE OF A TUBE OR SHAFT

 BORING - ALSO CALLED INTERNAL TURNING, IS USED TO


INCREASE THE INSIDE DIAMETER OF A HOLE. THE ORIGINAL
HOLE IS MADE WITH A DRILL, OR IT MAY BE A CORED HOLE IN
A CASTING
THREAD CUTTING OPERATION ON
LATHE MACHINE
 THREAD CUTTING
 MOST IMPORTANT OPERATIONS
 PRINCIPLE OF THREAD CUTTING
IS TO PRODUCE A HELICAL
GROOVE ON A CYLINDRICAL OR
CONICAL SURFACE
 BY FEEDING TOOL
LONGITUDINALLY WHEN JOB IS
REVOLVED BETWEEN CENTRES
OR BY A CHUCK
 LONGITUDINAL FEED SHOULD BE
EQUAL TO THE PITCH OF THE
THREAD TO BE CUT PER
REVOLUTION OF THE WORKPIECE
 LEAD SCREW THROUGH SADDLE
RECEIVES TRAVERSING MOTION,
HAS A DEFINITE PITCH
THREAD CUTTING OPERATION ON
LATHE MACHINE
 EXTERNAL THREAD CUTTING
 FIRST STEP IS TO REMOVE THE
EXCESS MATERIAL FROM THE
WORKPIECE TO MAKE ITS
DIAMETER EQUAL TO THE MAJOR
DIAMETER OF THREAD
 CHANGE GEARS OF CORRECT SIZE
ARE FITTED TO THE END OF THE
BED BETWEEN THE SPINDLE AND
THE LEAD SCREW
 SHAPE OR FORM OF THE THREAD
DEPENDS ON THE SHAPE OF THE
CUTTING TOOL TO BE USED
THREAD CUTTING OPERATION ON
LATHE MACHINE
 EXTERNAL THREAD CUTTING
 IN A METRIC THREAD, THE
INCLUDED ANGLE OF THE CUTTING
EDGE SHOULD BE GROUND
EXACTLY 60°
 TOP OF THE TOOL NOSE SHOULD
BE SET AT THE CENTRE OF THE
WORKPIECE
 ANGLE GAUGE IS USUALLY USED
AGAINST THE TURNED SURFACE
 SPEED OF THE SPINDLE IS
REDUCED BY ONE HALF TO ONE-
FOURTH OF THE SPEED REQUIRED
FOR TURNING
THREAD CUTTING OPERATION ON
LATHE MACHINE
 EXTERNAL THREAD CUTTING
 HALF-NUT IS THEN ENGAGED
 DEPTH OF CUT, WHICH USUALLY
VARIES FROM 0.05 TO 0.2 MM
 TOOL HAS PRODUCED A HELICAL
GROOVE UPTO THE END OF THE
WORK, QUICKLY WITHDRAWN BY
THE USE OF THE CROSS SLIDE
 HALF NUT DISENGAGED, AND THE
TOOL IS BROUGHT BACK TO THE
STARTING POSITION TO GIVE A
FRESH CUT
THREAD CUTTING OPERATION ON
LATHE MACHINE
 EXTERNAL THREAD CUTTING
 BEFORE RE-ENGAGING THE HALF
NUT, IT IS NECESSARY TO ENSURE
THAT THE TOOL WILL FOLLOW THE
SAME PATH IT HAS TRAVERSED IN
THE PREVIOUS CUT, OTHERWISE
THE JOB WILL BE SPOILED
 SEVERAL CUTS ARE NECESSARY
BEFORE THE FULL DEPTH OF
THREAD IS REACHED.
THREAD CUTTING OPERATION ON
LATHE MACHINE
 INTERNAL THREAD CUTTING
 PRINCIPLE OF CUTTING INTERNAL
THREADS IS SIMILAR TO THAT OF
AN EXTERNAL THREAD

 ONLY DIFFERENCE BEING IN THE


TOOL USED

 SIMILAR TO A BORING TOOL WITH


CUTTING EDGES GROUND TO THE
SHAPE CONFORMING TO THE TYPE
OF THREAD TO BE CUT
THREAD CUTTING OPERATION ON
LATHE MACHINE
 INTERNAL THREAD CUTTING
 HOLE IS FIRST BORED TO THE ROOT
DIAMETER OF THE THREAD.

 TOOL IS FIXED ON THE TOOL POST


OR ON THE BORING BAR AFTER
SETTING IT AT RIGHT ANGLES TO
THE LATHE AXIS, USING A THREAD
GAUGE/ANGLE GAUGE.

 DEPTH OF CUT IS GIVEN BY THE


COMPOUND SLIDE AND THE
THREAD IS FINISHED IN THE USUAL
THREAD CUTTING OPERATION ON
LATHE MACHINE
 BORING
 OPERATION OF ENLARGING AND
TRUING A HOLE PRODUCED BY
DRILLING, PUNCHING, CASTING OR
FORGING
 CAN’T ORIGINATE A HOLE
 SIMILAR TO THE EXTERNAL
TURNING OPERATION
 CAN BE PERFORMED IN A LATHE
THREAD CUTTING OPERATION ON
LATHE MACHINE
 COUNTER BORING
 OPERATION OF ENLARGING A HOLE THROUGH A CERTAIN
DISTANCE FROM ONE END INSTEAD OF ENLARGING THE
WHOLE DRILLED SURFACE
 SIMILAR TO A SHOULDER TURNING OPERATION IN EXTERNAL
TURNING
THREAD CUTTING OPERATION ON
LATHE MACHINE
 TAPER BORING
 THE PRINCIPLE OF TURNING A TAPER HOLE IS SIMILAR TO THE
EXTERNAL TAPER TURNING OPERATION
 ACCOMPLISHED BY ROTATING THE WORK ON A CHUCK AND
FEEDING THE TOOL AT AN ANGLE TO THE AXIS OF ROTATION
OF THE WORK PIECE
