machine tools
The job or blank and the cutting tools essentially need to be
properly mounted in the machine tool for achieving desired
performance of the machining system.
A)while mounting the job or blank in the machine tool
1. appropriate selection of work holding device or system from the
available resources depending upon;
• configuration of the machine tool
• shape, size and weight of the blank
• kind of machining work to be done
• order of dimensional accuracy desired
• volume (number of same job) of production
2. correct location, strong support and rigid clamping of the blank
against the cutting and other forces
Methods of mounting of jobs and cutting tools in
machine tools
3. easy and quick loading and unloading to and from the machine
tool or the holding device
4. proper alignment like coaxiality, concentricity etc. of rotating jobs
5. free flow of chips and cutting fluid

Mounting of Job in centre lathes
Depending upon the situation or requirement, different
types of centres are used at the tailstock end

2. In-between the chuck and centre: Heavy and reasonably long
jobs which have large diameters and required heavy cuts are
essentially held strongly and rigidly in the chuck at headstock with
support from the tailstock through a revolving centre
Mounting of Job in centre lathes
In-between headstock and tailstock with additional support of rest: To
prevent deflection of the long slender jobs like feed rod, leadscrew etc. due
to sagging and cutting forces during machining, some additional support are
provided.
Mounting of tools in centre lathes
Different types of tools which are used in centre lathes are usually
mounted in the following ways.
1. HSS tools (Shank type) in the tool post.
2. HSS form tools and threading tools in tool post
3. Carbide and ceramic inserts in standard tool-holders
4. Drills and reamers, if required, in the tailstock
5. Boring tools in tool post

Mounting of Jobs:
1. by directly clamp when job is heavy and/or of odd shape and size
2. in a vice which is clamped on the bed

Mounting of tools:
Small straight shank type solid HSS and carbide drill are held in a
drill chuck which is fitted in the drill spindle at its taper bore.
