Lathe single point cutting tool: It is simplest from of cutting tool & it have only one cutting edge. Examples – shear tools, lathe tools, planer tools, boring tolls etc. According to motion 1. Linear motion tools – lathe tools, brooches 2. Rotary motion tools – milling cutters, grinding wheels 3. Linear & rotary motion tools – drills, taps, etc. Operations can be performed in the lathe machine: 1. Facing 2. Turning 3. Tapering 4. Turning 5. Step turning 6. Threading 7. Knurling Shank – It is main body of tool and it is used to gripped in tool holder. Flank – surface below the adjacent of the cutting edge is called flank of the tool. Face – It is top surface of the tool along which the chips slides. Base – It is actually …show more content…

Such type of mandrels is called as screwed mandrels. Screwed mandrels are used when work pieces having internal threads are to be machined. The size of the threads to be engraved on the screwed mandrels depends on the type of work piece, which is going to fit over it. Cone mandrel Cone mandrels have a cone shaped piece attached at one of the mandrel. This type of arrangement allows the mandrel to handle a variety of work pieces having a varying internal crossectional diameter. The work piece is held tightly by fixing a nut at the other end of fixing the work piece to the mandrel. Too tight fitting of the work piece over the cone may damage the internal surface finish of the work piece along with the damage to the cone shape of the mandrel. Gang mandrel Gang mandrel is generated by some of the optimizers so as to reduce the material. This type of mandrel can facilitate machining for work pieces of various diameters. The gang mandrels consist of a fixed collar at one end and removable mandrels at the other end which is fixed by the help of the threads engraved both on the mandrel and also on the internal surface of a hallow mandrel. This mandrel can be used for machining various diameter pieces by just removing and fixing various collars over the thread. The friction between the walls of collar and sides of work piece is enough to hold the work piece tightly and hence facilitating is a high end
