La A Brief Outline Of A Secondary Technique

1) A brief outline of the following: • Threaded shaft:

The secondary technique that is used here is called turning, meaning this is created using the Lathe to make shapes to the desired lengths and diameters, producing different shapes and sizes. Meaning when we needed to create a thread we used the centre lathe to do the job much more accurately and faster. Forming parts that have a cylindrical or conical shape or to cut threads. With special attachments, a lathe may also be used to produce flat surfaces, as a milling machine does. Some of the features would be normally threads. The materials we normally use would be metals that contain iron, such as mile steel.

• Machined Block:
One technique associated with machined blocks is mill drilling. This is a method that angle faces the edges or corner of a workpiece to get it a flat surface by cutting a 45 degree angle. It can also blind spot some specification, usually with a rotating single-point cutter held on a boring bar and fed against a stationary workpiece. Some features used here will be things such as flat facing.
• Bearing Housing:

For making this engineered component the technique that will be used for this will be …show more content…

For example it enables you to use the Z, Y and X axis to move the workpiece tool that you are working on meaning you have more flexibility and movement, meaning you can freely form what it is you are creating. Whilst working on the Lathe it also give you the option to use different working tools such as threading, the tungsten carbide tool for reducing diameters and different so that it can manage with the kinematics forces. In addition to this, as soon as the machine is turned on the coolant will also activate, allowing the lathe to deal with any friction that the machine undergoes when coming into contact with the workpiece. Some of the features on a lathe that are beneficial are things such as facing off, under cutting and
