OBJECTIVES
TO BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY AND KNOW THE PURPOSE OF
THE VARIOUS TOOLBIT ANGLES AND CLEARANCES.
TO BE ABLE TO PREPARE A GRINDER FOR SHARPENING A
GENERAL PURPOSE LATHE TOOLBIT.
CUTTING TOOLS
High Speed Steel
(HSS) toolbit
CUTTING TOOLS
Cement-Carbide
lathe toolbit
TOOLBIT
Right cut tool
GRINDER
Pedestal grinder
consist of an electric
motor with a
grinding wheel
mounted on each
end of the spindel.
This type of grinding
called offhand
grinding.
TYPE OF GRINDER
WHEELS
Aluminum oxide are used to grind
carbon and high speed steel (HSS)
toolbits.
Silicon carbide are used to grind
single-pointed cement-carbide cutting
tools.
GRINDER SAFETY
Always wear approved safety glasses when
operating a grinder.
Always stand to one side of the wheel
when starting a grinder. Never stand in the
line with a grinder wheel.
GRINDER SAFETY
Allow a new wheel to run for about one
minute before using. If a wheel is going to
break, it will break in the first minute.
Always use a wheel guard which covers at
least one-half of the grinding wheel.
GRINDER SAFETY
Never run a grinding wheel faster than the
speed recommended on its blotter.
Do not grind on the side of a wheel unless
it is designed for this purpose.
GRINDER SAFETY
Never force a grinding wheel by jamming
work into it.
Always remove burrs produced by grinding
with a file or a hone.
Recommendation factors:
The size and condition of the
lathe
The shape and hardness of the
workpiece
The type of cutting operation
being performes.
TOOLHOLDERS
Left-hand offset toolholder is
used to machine work and
cutting from right to left. It is
identified by the letter L.
TOOLHOLDERS
Straight toolholder it is a
general-purpose toolholder
identified by the letter S.
TOOLHOLDERS
Right hand offset toolholder
is used for machining work
and cutting from left to right.
Identified by the letter R.
Left and Right hand offset
toolholder accommodate
square toolbits, ranging from
3/16 to in.
TOOLHOLDERS
Brazed cement Carbidetipped toolbits toolholders
are available in five sizes to
accept toolbit shanks from
to 5/8 in, square.
CUTTING-OFF TOOLHOLDERS
Cutting-off or parting tool is
generally used when work is
to be parted off, groove, or
undercut.
1. Solid type toolholders
2. Spring type toolholders
THREADING TOOLHOLDER
A special toolholder with a
cam-shaped cutter ground
to 60is available for
thread cutting,
BORING TOOLHOLDERS
Light boring toolholders
are used for small holes
and light cuts.
BORING TOOLHOLDERS
Boring tool suitable for
heavier work consist of a
boring bar mounted in the
toolholder and a toolbit fitted
on the end of the boring bar.
BORING TOOLHOLDERS
Heavy-duty boring bar
holder is mounted on the
compound rest and can
accommodate three bars of
different diameters.
TOOLPOSTS
Standard (Round) toolpost
provides a means of holding
and adjusting a toolholder or
a cutting tool.
TOOLPOSTS
Turret type toolpost are
designed to hold four cutting
tools, which can be easily
indexed for use as required.
TOOLPOSTS
Quick change toolpost and
holder are made in different
styles to accommodate
different types of cutting
tools.
