subject: Know Working Procedure Of Engine Lathe And Hydraulic Shear [print this page] An engine lathe is found to be one flat shaped piece of work holding, which is very much important in the workshop to turn metal manually. With the help of this lathe machine, giving proper shape to the metal is very much possible. As the name suggests, this machine is used again and again to make metal pieces for use in engine, whether it could be for an automobile, a boat, a tractor or any other motorized vehicle or machine. Initially, this machine used to be utilized for spinning sheet metals; but, now it is also used for drilling, shaping shafts, making square blocks etc. Various products like, copy burner nozzles, candle cup dies, foundry pattern core boxes and other prints can also be produced with the help of this machine. Many important modern machine tools are shaped with the help of this machine. People owning this machine would be able to create their devices. For these reasons, this machine is regularly referred as the work holding tool.
Different parts of an engine lathe include gears, a tailstock, a carriage, and a stepped pulley, which are generally used for different kinds of spindle speeds. The workings in this machine are applied to control the carriage. The carriage supports the cutting tools and the tailstock is commonly used to hold up the hole-drilling process, which can be used in the spindle. These lathe machines are being evolved years after years. They were quite in vogue during 19th and 20th centuries at blacksmith shops. But nowadays, they are found to be far and widely used in many other places as well. Different unique categories of this machine are found to catch all the dust and dirt within their carriage. When oil is mixed in the engine, it would shape up the grinding motion as the carriage is moved back and forth with the turning of machine and this process completely shapes up the metal. Previously, this kind of steady grinding used to wear the machine down, making it ineffective in nature. But, these days, the cart on this machine is found to be self-oiling. Also, carriage on this machine has been improved a lot.
Shearing is found to be that process by which part of any metal plate is removed by applying a tool through it at a high level of pressure. In case of hydraulic shear, it is helpful in quick cutting and scoring of metal sheets. Factories dealing with high volumes of metal fabrication would be highly benefitted from the hydraulic shear.
