Conversation About Lathe Machine

Wira is preparing for a practice on a lathe machine in the mechanical lab. He explains to Widya that a lathe machine rotates a workpiece to cut or shape it using a cutting tool. It has various parts like the headstock, tailstock, and carriage. Tools include a chuck to hold the workpiece and a chisel for cutting. Safety tools are also used to prevent accidents. Wira details the work steps which involve setting the engine speed using a formula, turning on the machine, and measuring the finished workpiece. He helps Widya understand how to set the engine speed and use the lathe machine properly.

At Mechanical Lab

Widya : Good Morning wir, How are you today?

Wira : Morning too, iam fine

Widya : What are you doing ?

Wira : I was preparing tools and materials to practice in mechanical lab

Widya : What kind of practice do you have today?

Wira : Oh today I got practice about make a shaft use lathe machine

Widya : Lathe machine? What is that?

Wira : Lathe machine is a process of feeding the workpiece whose incision in done by
rotating the workpiece and then applying it to the chisel

Widya : Can you show me what is the first thing done in this practice ?

Wira : The first, you must know the parts and the tools of the lathe machine

Widya : Can you tell me the parts and the tools of the lathe machine?

Wira : Sure, the parts of the lathe machine are head stock, tail stock, carriage, and all of
them have a different fungtion

Widya : Thanks, and what a tools of the lathe machine?

Wira : Oh the tools of the lathe machine are like a chuck to clamp the workpiece, a chisel to
cut or feeding the workpiece, key chuck to tighten or loosen the chuck, and etc

Widya : Oh so many tools and parts of the lathe machine

Wira : Of course

Widya : And what do you do next wir?

Wira : After that you must use work safety tools.

Widya : What the fungtion of the work safety tools wir?

Wira : Work safety tools have a fungtion to protect your self and to prevent possibility of
the accident work in mechanical lab

Widya : Thanks for your information wir, after I know that I hope you can show me the work
steps to operate the lathe machine

Wira : 1) Ok, first step you always pray to be given fluency and run well

2) Prepare your tools and your self


3) Put the workpiece to the chuck and put the chisel to the tool post and tighten with
key chuck or key tool post

4) Set the rotation speed of the engine

5) Turn on the lathe machine and you can start to operate the lathe machine

6) Last step you must measure the workpiece with vernier caliper, so the workpiece
to be as you want

Widya : Oh thanks, but how to set up the rotation speed of the engine?

Wira : Before you want to set the engine speed, you must know the formula to set up the
engine speed

Widya : What is the formula?

Wira : The formula to set up the engine speed is

1000 x Vc
n=
π xd

Example : we use a steel a diameter (d) of 62 mm and the speed cut (Vc) was 25
meter/minute

1000 x 25
n= = 128 rpm
3,14 x 62

So you can use that formula to find the engine speed like the example.

Widya : But how to set up the engine speed of the lathe machine?

Wira : After you find the value of the engine speed, you can rotate this part to set up the
engine speed of the lathe machine

Widya : Thanks you wir

Wira : Your welcome, and what are you doing here?

Widya : I want to find my lecture to revition my homework

Wira : Who is you lecture, and what is your homework?

Widya : My lecture is Mr.Wibolo, and my homework is to sketch the plumbing process

Wira : Oh good luck wid!

Widya : Thank you!
