I have a coolant motor with 420 volts in Lathe Machine but the supply voltage will be 480 volts. Can 420 volts 50Hz coolant motor can use in 480 volts 60Hz?

No, you'll burn your lathe motor up immediately. (it might last 30 seconds before it literally smokes.) You'll need to buy and install a "buck-boost" type transformer to drop the voltage from 480 to 420V. Best to have a qualified commercial electrician wire it up if you value your lathe.

How do you machine a square cross section on a lathe?

To machine a square cross section on a lathe, you would use a parting tool to remove excess material around the perimeter of the square, leaving the desired square shape. You would then use a square nose turning tool to further refine the shape and achieve the exact dimensions. It's important to make precise measurements and take light cuts to avoid removing too much material at once.

How you can make doctor blade machine for strip steel?

To make a doctor blade machine for strip steel, one would typically need to design and fabricate a blade holder for the doctor blade, a mechanism to adjust the angle and pressure of the blade against the steel strip, and a system to move the blade across the surface of the strip. The machine should also have provisions for adjusting the blade wear and replacing it as needed for efficient operation. Additionally, it is important to consider safety features and proper alignment to ensure consistent performance.

How do you make 100 pearlite bainite martensite?

To make 100% pearlite, the steel should be slowly cooled, while bainite and martensite are achieved through rapid cooling. Each microstructure has different heat treatment processes that must be followed to form. A combination of these processes can be used to achieve a mix of pearlite, bainite, and martensite in varying percentages based on the cooling rate and temperature control during heat treatment.

What is Turret Lathe well known for?

There is no such person as Turret Lathe. A turret lathe is a metal lathe that is used in manufacturing to repetitively produce duplicate parts. This can make a production line run smoother.

How do you produce cylindrical job by turning operation on lathe?

A cylindrical job can be done by using a lot of turing operations. A lathe turning operation is done using a machinery. There are many different parts to a turning tool. Some examples of a turning tool are left-hand turning tool and the right hand turning tool.

What is a faceplate?

Face Plate is used on Lathe machine. It is just like lathe chuck. irregular shape job clamp on face plate by clamps, bolts.

What are the functions of gear train on a lathe machine?

All gearboxes work the same way: there is a gear on the motor, a gear on the thing you're trying to drive, and sometimes a set of gears between the two. The ratio between the gears, plus the RPM of the motor, determines the speed of the workpiece. If the gear on the motor is larger than the gear on the workpiece the RPM of the workpiece will be higher than the speed of the motor. If the workpiece's gear is larger, the workpiece will turn slower than the motor. Given that, though, I've never seen a gearbox on a wood lathe. Wood lathes use belt drive for two reasons, the most important being safety--if you get a catch, a workpiece on a belt driven lathe won't damage you as badly as a workpiece on a gear-driven lathe. Also, belt drive won't feed vibration from the workpiece back into the motor and damage the bearings. Gear drive is used on metal lathes.

How are spindle speed changed in the lathe machine?

Using geared head for gear box driven or stepped pulley if belt driven

What are the advantages and disadvantages of lathe machine?

One advantage of a lathe machine is that it can perform very detailed and intricate designs. One disadvantage of a lathe machine is that these machines are more expensive than other types of machines used to produce this type of work.

Where can a woodworking lathe be purchased?

Woodworking lathes can be purchased from various retailers both instore and online. They are available at Woodcraft, Busy Bee Tools, and can also be found at Amazon or eBay. Reviews of different lathes can be viewed at Overstock.

How is work held in a lathe?

There are various ways for a lathe to hold its workpiece.

  • The workpiece could be held between centers from the spindle and tail stock
  • It could be gripped in a chuck
  • A faceplate could be used and the workpiece is screwed, bolted or clamped to it.

How do you change a chuck with a chuck key?

Open the chuck all the way and look down inside it, you'll probably see a screw you'll need to remove.
If it's an older model, and you don't see a screw, it's probably got a tapered shaft.
You can use the sane sort of a fork you use to remove a ball joint to remove the chuck.

What is distance between centers in lathe machine?

All lathes could be considered "centre lathes." You turn "between centers." There's also a tool called a "machining center," but those are for computerized milling, normally of metal.

How do you determine the size of lathe?

the size of a lathe can be described by either of the following ways.

1.DISTANCE BETWEEN THE TWO DEAD CENTERS.

2.SWING RADIUS. IT'S THE DISTANCE MEASURED FROM THE SADDLE/CARRIAGE TO THE AXIS OF THE SPINDLE.

What are three most common cutting tools that are used for turning on the lathe?

For a Wood Lathe there are several, with many variations with-in each tool, here are some:

Superflute Bowl Gouge (many sizes)

Spindle Gouge (many sizes)

Detail Gouge (many sizes)

Shallow Gouge

Roughing Gouge (many sizes)

Skew Chisels (many sizes)

Parting Tools (many sizes & shapes)

Bedan Tools (many sizes)

Scrapers: Round Sided, Diamond Sided, Square End, Round Nose, Dovetail, Shear,etc..

Multi-Tip Ring Tools

And many variations and designs of the Hollowing Tools

Also you have specialty tools like: Chatter Tools, Springett Chinese Ball Tools, Thread Cutting Tools, Texturing Tools, etc.

I might have missed some but these I've mentioned will do most anything you want on a Wood Lathe.

What Products are made by using a lathe?

You can make anything cylindrical in shape on a lathe providing it can be held safely in the chuck. It can be used to cut diameters, bores, faces and create tapers. With the use of a tail stock it can also be used to drill perfectly centred holes with minimal effort. Also on higher quality lathes diameters can be turned in or out of concentricity as the operator wishes with the use of a four jawed chuck. There is also no limit to what metal you can cut either as the spindle speed and feed can be altered to suit the material you are cutting from plastics to hard alloys. Examples of simple projects are hammers, plum-bobs , ashtrays and even fisherman's priests to name but a few.

What is the tail stock used for on a lathe?

This is a system that guide the body of a lathe. And for Exfoliaion pieces of it as a preservative. And also for under drill holes in it.
