PORTABLE MINILATHE

3. • It is that of all the machines employed by the
mechanic to aid he in his work
• The lathe holds the honor of having been the
first machine tool. From it all other machine
tools have been developed as they are.
PORTABLE MINILATHE

4. • Length of the bed
• Width of the lathe bed
• Height of centers over the bed
• Distance between centers
• Swing diameter over the bed
• Over the carriage
• Max diameter of all through spindle
• Power of the motor
• Modes of drives
• No. of spindle speed
• Lead screw details
• Weight and floor space required
PORTABLE MINILATHE

5. • Types of Lathes
• Speed lathe
• Engine lathe
• Bench lathe
• Tool room lathe
• Semi automatic lathe
• Automatic lathe
PORTABLE MINILATHE

6. • Producing cylindrical jobs
• Turning
• Taper turning
• Drilling
• Boring
• Knurling
• Screw thread cutting
• Reaming
PORTABLE MINILATHE

7. • Lathe is known as the mother machine tool
• It is one of the most widely used machine
tools in all parts of the world.
• An engine lathe is the most basic and simplest
form of the engine lathe
• Engine lathe derives it’s name from the early
lathes, which obtained their power from
engines
PORTABLE MINILATHE

8. • Bulky
• Placed at a fixed place
• Maintenance
• Huge space required
• High initial cost
PORTABLE MINILATHE

9. • Concept
The portable mini lathe is a simplest wood
turning machine having simple constructional parts
which favors less effort to operate.
PORTABLE MINILATHE

10. • Need
The conventional lathe machines are suffering
from its bulkiness to carry it to preferred workspace.
We need to admit the workshop for even light
operations like internal design parts, modification
etc.
The PORTABLE MINI LATHE is specially designed
for carpenters to carry light operation within his
workspace. The operator can carry the machine itself
anywhere as he porting his tools.
PORTABLE MINILATHE

11. • Portability
• Lathe performance within the workspace
• Lathe operations with the tool available the
carpenter
• Feasibility multiple operations
• Machining of light metals
• Economic
PORTABLE MINILATHE

26. • Metal/ wood cutting; metal and the wood as
required dimension were cut with the cutter and the
jig saw at the mechanical workshop.
PORTABLE MINILATHE

27. WORKSHOP FACILITY USED
• Drilling; holes are drilled on the metal as well as the
wood at the lathe workshop with the radial drilling
machine and the hand drill
PORTABLE MINILATHE

28. WORKSHOP FACILITY USED
• Grinding; cut structural members were grind at the
mechanical workshop.
PORTABLE MINILATHE

29. PORTABLE MINILATHE
Welding; the structural members were
welded together to build the stand and
plates were welded to the scissor jack to
get it fixed on the bed. The tailstock
centre was welded the ball bearing then
the clamp
WORKSHOP FACILITY USED

30. WORKSHOP FACILITY USED
• Fitting; the tailstock centre produced by grinding and
filing the aluminum rod of diameter 15mm.
PORTABLE MINILATHE
