DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF ALTERNATE METHOD OF TURNING TO ACHIEVE HIGH PRODUCTION RATE

Abstract

Turning is a machining process in which a cutting tool, typically a non-rotary tool bit, describes a helical tool
path by moving more or less linearly while the work piece rotates. The tool's axes of movement may be literally a straight
line, or they may be along some set of curves or angles, but they are essentially linear. Usually the term "turning" is
reserved for the generation of external surfaces by this cutting action, whereas this same essential cutting action when
applied to internal surfaces (that is, holes, of one kind or another) is called "boring". The major conditions which will be
must to carry our turning operation is that the tool material should be harder than work material and the tool or the
work or both should move relative to each other in order to accomplish the metal cutting. Generally conventional turning
involves one single point cutting tool (SPCT) which moves linear to the work piece (feed motion) and the work piece is
having a rotational motion as it is fixed in the spindle of the lathe machine. The present paper focus the possibility of
employing one more single point cutting tool in the operation and then check ing its effect on overall productivity of the
component.
