    CHAPTER IV

    METAL-CUTTING MACHINES
    1. LATHES
    A lathe is known to be essentially a machine tool for pro­ducing and finishing surfaces of workpieces. The machine is designed to Hold and revolve work Ground an axis of rotation so that it may be subjected to the action of a cutting tool moving in a horizontal plane through, the axis of the work. When the, cutting tool moves in a longitudinal direction or parallel to the axis, the operation is known as "turning"; when it moves in a transverse direction, it is known as "fa­cing". In addition to turning and boring, which the machine is primarily designed for, many other operations, such as drilling, threading, tapping, and by employing special adap­ters grinding and milling, may be performed on a lathe.

    Lathes used in shop practice are known to be of different designs and sizes. These lathes fall into various types, either according to their characteristic constructional features, or according to the work for which they are designed. The size of a lathe is determined by the diameter and length of work that may be swung between centres. Lathes of comparatively small size, which may be mounted on a bench, are termed bench lathes, and are intended for small work of considerable accuracy; lathes provided with tools held in a revolvable turret are called "turret lathes": lathes in which workpieces to be treated are held in a chuck are known as "chucking lathes"; lathes in which most of operations are performed automatically are named "automatic lathes".

    Besides there are also many special-purpose lathes such as crankshaft lathes and wheel lathes forturning crankshafts or engine driving wheels respectively; screw-cutting lathes for threading screws, etc. The engine lathe (Fig. 47) used for

    metal-turning operations is fitted with a power-actuated carriage and cross-slide for clamping and holding the cutting tool. In engine lathes the cutting tools are generally guided by the machine tool itself, in other words, they are operated mechanically, while in some lathes the cutting tools are guided by hand. The engine lathe consists essentially of the following basic parts: the bed, the headstock, the tailstock, the feed mechanism, and the carriage.

    Fig. 47. Engine Lathe:

    1 — feed gearbox; 2 — feed selection levers; 3 — headstock and gear­box; 4 -speed change levers; 5 — spindle; 6— live centre; 7 — sliding hand traverse; 8 – tool rest; 9 – tool post; 10 – cross-slide lever; 11 – compound rest; 12 – saddle; 13 – tool rest lever; 14 – dead centre; 15 – tailstock; 16 – electric motor; 17 – feed shaft; 18 – lead screw; 19 – sliding feed lever; 20 – apron; 21 – bed
    Fig. 48. Bed:

    1,5 — ribs; 2, 7 — casting walls; 3, 6 — V-type ways; 4 — flat way
    The bed (Fig. 48) is a rigid casting with two longitudinal walls firmly connected by cross ribs integral with the cas­ting. The bed serves as a base to support and align the rest of the machine. The upper surface of the bed is provided with parallel V-type and flat ways or guides for accurate aligning of the sliding parts of the lathe — the, carriage and the tailstock. The headstock is located and firmly bolted to the left hand side of the bed and carries a pair of bearings in which the spindle rotates. Many modern lathes have a motor built into the headstock with the spindle serving as the motor shaft. The spindle (Fig. 49), being one of the most important parts of a lathe, is a steel hollow shaft with a taper bore for the insertion of the live or running centre on which the piece to be turned is placed. The other end of the work is supported by the non-rotating dead or cup centre. The nose of the spindle is accurately threaded for chucks to be screwed on it. The chucks, in turn, hold and revolve workpieces together with the spindle. The head-stock also incorporates the change gearbox driven by a set of speed change levers. The change gearbox serves for running the lathe at different speeds required in turning and boring workpieces of various diameters.



    Fig. 49. Spindle:

    1 — hollow shaft; 2 — live centre; 3 — thread; 4 — through hole
    The tailstock (Fig. 50) located at the right-hand side of the bed, is a casting carrying a non-rotating sleeve, which together with the nut can be advanced or retracted by means of the tailstock revolving screw operated by the handwheel. The tailstock may be moved anywhere along the lathe bed and can be clamped in place at any point. On changing the position, the tailstock slides along the two inner bed ways one of which named flat way is of rectangular cross-section and the other one is of V-section. The tailstock sleeve mounts a hollow spindle with a standard taper bore for holding the lathe centres or tapered tool shanks. The dead centre fits in a Morse taper hole in the sleeve and may be removed by retracting the sleeve, thereby bringing the end of the tailstock screw against the rear of the centre and forcing it out. The tailstock spindle has a large area bearing1 in both the front and rear of the tailstock. To facilitate measurement of the spindle travel the tailstock spindle is graduated.

    1 — casting; 2 — tailstock clamping wrench; 3 — tailstock spindle centre; 4 — tailstock spindle clamp lever; 5 — revolving screw; 6 — sleeve; 7 -nut; 8 — tailstock handwheel; 9 — bed

    The feed mechanism for both longitudinal and cross feeds of the engine lathe is simple and easy to operate. It comprises a cone of gears, an intermediate shaft and a set of sliding gears. The fine change shifter slides on a splined shaft and carries a tumbler gear which is dropped into engagement with a gear on the cone corresponding to the thread or feed selected on the index plate above it.

    Movement of the carriage and the cross-slide can be re­versed either by reversing the feed mechanism, with the reverse, handle or by shifting the single lever located on the carriage aprons. Suitable speed ratios between the spindle and the feed mechanism are provided by a change gearbox. The carriage is a unit intended for mounting the tool, and capable of sliding along the two outer V-type ways, on which it is sup­ported, in a direction parallel to the spindle axis.

    For turning and facing operations the carriage is driven from the headstock spindle by gearingor belting through a feed shaft. For thread cutting, where a definite amount of carriage movement is required for every spindle rotation, a lead screw, geared to the spindle, is used for the motion of the carriage. The carriage is made up of two principal parts, one of which carries the saddle, which slides upon the bed and on which tine cross-slide and the tool rest are mounted. The other part, termed the apron, represents the front wall of the carriage. It provides a support for the operating hand-wheel and control levers, as well as carries the mechanism for engaging the feed mechanism of the lathe to drive the carriage. The cross-slide mounted on the carriage can move at right angles to the spindle axis. It is operated bythe cross-slide screw which turns in a nut fixed to the carriage.

    On the top of the saddle there is the compound rest for mounting the tool post. The compound rest is similar to the cross-slide, except that it can be swung around at an angle. It has a circular base graduated in degrees, so that it may be set at any angle, and may be used for cutting bevels, tapered work and similar jobs. The compound rest is actuated by a screw which rotates in a nut fixed to the saddle. The tool post intended for holding the tool fits in a tee slot in the com­pound rest, and the toolholder is adjusted, and clamped by the tool post screw. Engine lathes are fitted with a multi­ple disc clutch and brake. The powerful multiple disc clutch when disengaged automatically engages the plate brake.

    There are three important methods of holding and rotat­ing work in engine lathes, which may be referred to as turn­ing between centres, chuck work, and faceplate work. In turning between centres, the work is supported by the 60° conical points, of the live and dead centres. It turns together with the live centre on the dead centre. In chuck or faceplate work, the work to be machined is held in a chuck or a faceplate.

    1. DRILLING MACHINES


    Drilling machines are very old machine tools mainly employed for drilling holes of different sizes in metal or any other solid material. In addition to drilling holes, such operations as tapping, reaming, lapping, countersinking and counted boring may be performed on the drilling machines. Since drilling machines are used for a great variety of operations they fall into various classes, the main of them being upright or vertical spindle, multiple-spindle, and radial spindle chines. In all three types, the drill spindle rotates in a sleeve at quill which does not rotate but is free to move axially to provide the necessary feed for the drill.

    In vertical spindle drilling machines the spindle is in a vertical position. The upright drilling machine (Fig. 51) has an upright column resting on a heavy base. The column equipped with a gearbox providing a wide range of speed has a feed mechanism. The feed mechanism represents a feed shaft with its necessary gearing by which the drill is cut into the work at a proper speed. The feed shaft and the gearing provide a mechanical feed and any adjustment of both the drilling head mounted on the top of the column and the table for drilling operations.

    Since in the upright drilling machines the spindle sleeve supports are fixed, all adjustment for different classes of work is made by moving the table which is accomplished by turning the crank. The table can be moved in a horizontal plane, clamped at any point or, if desired, swung out of the way so that large work may be placed on the base. The machine is also equipped with a ratchet lever for hand feed­ing the drill. A handwheel is fastened to a worm shaft whoseworm engages a worm gear on the pinion feed shaft, giving a motion much finer than that obtained by using the hand lever. Speed changes in the up­right drilling machines are effected either by cone pulleys or by a geared head.

    The upright drilling machines, in turn, are classified as: heavy duty, plain, and sensitive. The heavy duty drilling machine is used for heavy drilling the plain vertical spindle machine being employed for lighter work. The sensitive drill­ing machine is a vertical or upright machine of compara­tively light construction adapted to very high speeds of drilling holes in delicate works.1 The multiple-spindle drilling machines are built in both vertical and horizontal types.

    Saving considerable time and space this machine is used for simultaneous drilling of many holes in a large number of workpieces. The machine may have a number of movable drills mounted on the cross way, all the spindles being driven from the same shaft by a worm gear. One of the types of the multiple-spindle machines is the fully automatic mul­tiple-spindle drill head machine requiring only push-button

    Fig. 51. Upright Drilling Machine:

    1 — table traverse lever; 2 — feed change lever; 3 — spindle; 4 — swarf tray; A — table; В — feed change gear­box; С — gearbox; D column; E — base
    operation once it has been set up. The machine is provided with a large number of spindles ranging from four to a hundred or even more, which are driven by the same spindle drive gear in the same head.

    The radial drilling machine has a vertical column mounted on a cast iron base. The column carries a radial arm which moves not only in a horizontal plane with the column, but may also be moved in a vertical plane. A drilling head carrying the drill and power feed mechanism may be moved along horizontal ways of the arm. Bored to take a Morse taper shank, the spindle is driven by a reversing motor, flange mounted on top of the gearbox.2 The drill can be moved over the work to any desired position so that many holes may be drilled in the work without moving it from one place to another. The radial drilling machine is therefore adapted to heavy work where it is easier to move the drill than the work.

    Spindle speed and feed changes are effected by gearing. Drilling speeds may vary from 40 ft. per min3' for cast and alloy steels to 300 ft per min for brass and bronze, drillings feeds ranging from 002" per revolution for diameter drills to 15" per revolution for drills 1" in diameter and over.

    3. MILLING MACHINES
    Milling machines are used for milling operations. Milling is the process of removing material from work with a multi- toothed rotating cutter. There are various classes and types of milling machines in use, from small hand-operated types to fully automatic ones, the main of them being: columnand knee-type, bed type, planer type, and rotary type. Column-and knee-type milling machines are made in three styles:horizontal plain, vertical and universal spindle milling ma­chines. They are used for both toolroom and manufacturing work because of the ease with which they may be handled.

    Fig. 52 shows the essential features of the horizontal miling machine. The machine is provided with a massive stream-lined column rising from a base which rests, on a solid wooden or concrete floor which is sufficiently heavy to withstand the weight of the machine. The base, hollow inside contains a coolant tank with cutting fluid* that is delivered through piping by means of a motor-operated pump to the cutters and the place where the milling operation is performed. The cen­trifugal type pump is mounted on the pad located at the side of the base and is connected directly to the coolant tank. The cutting fluid flow can be regulated by means of valves connected to the outlet nozzles whichcan be swiveled for distrib­uting a low pressure volume of cutting fluid to all diameter and types of cutters. A constant supply of clear oil is pumped to the column top, distributed through perforated pipes and flooded down over all gears, shafts, and bearings throughout the entire column and feed gearbox. In the lower part of the column there is a motor for driving the spindle and the change

    change lever located on the face of the column or by power to form various trains for providing the necessary cutting speeds.

    The horizontal plain milling machine has a horizontal spindle rotating in anti-friction bearings in the column. The spindle is a hardened, ground, hollow shaft spaced horizon­tally from the front to the back of the column. In operation, the milling cutters are either attached to the spindle nose or carried on an arbor. Secured to the top of the column is an overarm consisting of one or two heavy steel bars. The overarm is provided with bearing brackets for supporting arbors or mandrels. The knee which supports, the table and saddle units is mounted on the face of the column and can be moved up and down by means of an elevating screw for ad­justing workpieces with respect to cutters.

    During each milling operation the knee should be clamped to the column, and in heavy-duty operations the knee is clamped to the overarm to ensure maximum rigidity. The upper part of the knee is provided with horizontal dovetail guides, which support the saddle unit mounted on them. The saddle, in turn, supports the table which is a heavy, semi-steel casting1 sliding in the dovetail guides on the sad­dle. The table has T-slots of ample depth serving to fasten work-holding devices. All the three elements, table, saddle, and knee, may be either power- or hand-fed by screws turn­ing in fixed nuts. By means of a hand lever on the knee, the machine can be set for continuous pendulummilling, orfor automatic cycle operation, with power feed movement of the table in either direction. The machine is provided with a backlash eliminator, which enables climb milling to be performed with both right- and left-hand cutters and is auto­matically disengaged upon reversal of the table. The elimi­nator can also be disengaged by movement of a lever when conventional milling is to be performed.

    Vertical milling machines are similar to plain milling ma­chines, but their spindle is positioned vertically.

    Universal milling machines are also similar to plain mill­ing machines but the saddle is mounted on and swivels on a clamp bed which in turn slides on the knee thus permitting the saddle to swing at an angle, and permitting table motion at other angles than 90° to the spindle axis.

    Modern heavy-duty milling machines are equipped with a standardized spindle end which has a locating taper hole in the spindle. The arbor is seated by turning a draw-in-bolt2 which extends through a hole in the spindle, and screws into a threaded hole in the arbor. The arbor is driven by an adjusting key on the spindle nose which fits into slots in the arbor shoulder. The arbor support provides a cylindrical bearing for the pilot of the arbor, and in many instances, an intermediate arbor support, serving as a bearing for an oversize collar,is employed. The arbor support is often con­nected to the knee by overarm braces for additional rigidity.

    Cutting speeds on the milling machine depend upon the nature of the work, the type of cutter, the condition of the machine, and, in many instances, upon the experience and ability of the machine operator. Feed rates in milling are expressed in two ways: in. per min,3 or thousandths of an inch per revolution of the spindle. Delicate or fragile work requiring an accurate finish will need fine feeds, while heavy work, from which a considerable amount of metal is to be removed, can be subjected to coarse feeds. A good finish can usually be obtained by using a feed rate from 0.30" to 0.50" per revolution of the cutter. Finer feeds, such as 0.15" per revolution, will result in an excellent finish.
