The oil is applied to the ways with either grease fittings, or is sometimes continuously pumped through ducts machined into the face of the ways. The latter was commonly used on shapers, where the entire way is covered by some part of the sliding element at all times. The ends of the ways are fitted with felt wipers to prevent oil from leaking ...
The toolpost is the part of a metalworking lathe which either holds the tool bit directly or holds a toolholder which contains the tool bit. There are a great variety of designs for toolposts (including basic toolposts, rocker toolposts, quick-change toolposts, and toolpost turrets) and toolholders (with varying geometry and features).
Way oil (the oil made for machine tool ways) works as a cutting oil. In fact, some screw machines are designed to use one oil as both the way oil and cutting oil. (Most machine tools treat way lube and coolant as separate things that inevitably mix during use, which leads to tramp oil skimmers being used to separate them back out.)
PASCO Unimat 1 Lathe. Unimat 1 Classic; This model of the Unimat 1 has many plastic parts and plastic machining cross slides. It is capable of working wood, plastic and soft metals i.e. aluminum and brass. It is the same machine as the basic with additional capabilities such as wood turning, sawing, drilling, milling and metal turning. Unimat ...
David J. Gingery (/ ˈ ɡ ɪ ŋ ɡ ər i /; December 19, 1932 – May 3, 2004) was an American inventor, writer, and machinist, best known for his series of books on how to build machine tools. Gingery is most famous for his Build Your Own Metal Working Shop From Scrap series, which details how to build a reasonably complete machine shop at low ...
For example, a centering lathe is a dual head machine where the work remains fixed and the heads move towards the workpiece and machine a center drill hole into each end. The resulting workpiece may then be used "between centers" in another operation. The usage of the term metal lathe may also be considered somewhat outdated these days ...
CAM software automates the process of converting 3D models into tool paths, the route the multiaxis machine takes to mill a part (Fig. 1). This software takes into account the different parameters of the tool head (in the case of a CNC router, this would be the bit size), dimensions of the blank, and any constraints the machine may have.
Fay automatic lathe, 1921. [1] Bullard Mult-Au-Matic, a vertical, multispindle automatic lathe, 1914. [2] In metalworking and woodworking, an automatic lathe is a lathe with an automatically controlled cutting process. Automatic lathes were first developed in the 1870s and were mechanically controlled.
