How to operate a Lathe Machine

I'm sorry guessin I'm from I'm icky at the issue and today I'll be telling you how to operate a lathe machine before entering the workshop and using the lathe machine it is very important to wear a Down redress this prevents loose clothing from getting into the revolving chuck and so it is also very important to tie back use here when using the lathe machine some other points are using gloves if necessary also shoes must be close tied so if heavy tools fall on your feet it doesn't hurt you this is how you turn on the lathe machine the head of the lathe machine this lever right here can change the rotation of your workpiece you can either spin it clockwise or anti-clockwise these three levers are used to adjust the speed of the lathe machine now right currently this machine will be operating at 475 rpm this right here is the turning slide it moves the carriage left and right this is the cross length when you rotate it clockwise it moves the carriage upwards and when you rotate it anti-clockwise it moves it down which towards me this is an automatic feature of the lathe machine when it is in this position the carriage moves by itself when you take it to this position it is back in manual mode the true Chuck this is where you fit your workpiece the workpiece fits between these jaws of the chuck this right here is the glass window it prevents the chips from reaching my face or their body parts this is the tailstock this is the revolving Center and this is where other tools can also be fits as per requirement this is actually used to align the tool this over here is used to drill or bore this is where the drill bit or the bowing to this fix this goes right here and then you can use this to move it and drill your workpiece the other things over here this is the lock it prevents this from moving and this is the law which allows the tailstock to move left and right when it is locked the tailstock cannot move see this is the spindle it is used for finer cuts and the last cuts this over here's the tool post the tool is fixed over here I'll show you guys okay so this is the tool post and this tool over here is used to loosen and set the tool post on its position now you tighten it up this is at a ninety degree so you can actually turn your workpiece using this angle but when you're facing you'll have to turn it a bit more than 90 90 95 or hundred so now we fix the tool the tool is left of an inch out of the tool post we have to tighten the screws right now using this tool over here and we really have to make sure that the tool is very tight otherwise the tool might come out or might damage the workpiece or even your hands so right now the tool is fixed and now I can turn my workpiece now comes the first and most important part of using the lathe machine is aligning this tool according to the revolving Center so basically what we have to do is if to touch both the pointy edges and that is what I'm doing over here the tool is a line as you can notice both the sharp tips are touching each other now we have to fix the word piece in the true Chuck is used to loosen this which I have already done and now the same tool is used to tighten the jaws of the Chuck make sure the tool is tight otherwise it can affect the quality of the product now we will turn on the lathe machine now I'm putting the machine into second gear the two has started to rotate he can know this now we will face the workpiece make sure the glass windows in front of your face to prevent the hot chips face the work is first we have to give in a slight pitch so we can mark and see as your first point which is zero you can notice the tool has touched peace gently date this dial over here with slower grenades it better you can know this the rest is going away and the shiny edge the scientists of the workpiece can be seen here now we have 16 fears now we'll be doing some training so for that we'll be using the returning slide or we could also use the spindle right over here for more finer and smoother cuts I'm turning on the lathe machine first I'll be touching the move of the workpiece who marked my zero on the bed there you go you can see now the chips are flying it's a good thing I've taken a class frnd on my side convinced it from using my hands spindle can also be used to turn the working you can notice that the spindle moves very slowly okay so now that we've turned our piece this is the result be careful the workpiece can be hot after operating for long periods of time now to further finish my product I'll be using sandpaper you can see the tool is becoming more shinier and the lines can be seen by reducing be careful not to touch the revolving part of the lid the right this is what I finished after using the sandpaper and one more safety feature of this weight machine is when I opened this hatch the lead machine shuts down see this is because there's a switch present right here this does all the job this is my piece this is the part where I've faced it and this is the part we have turned it notice the luster in the shine up fit the finish so this is Shahrukh isn't signing off
