PORTABLE WOOD LATHE MACHINE

In this project we have tried and build a well-functioning and efficient lathe machine. On this machine we will perform sanding, cutting and turning operations. In this project we have used locally available material and tools form the college workshop and used other machines tools of the college workshop. The cost of the goods personal and overhead determined the total cost of prototype of the Lathe Machine. Initially, the machine incorporates a wooden frame, with a headstock fixed in place, the tailstock moving close to the machine bed, a DC motor of RPM 780 for the rotation and the tool is always mounted on a slide in a non-removable cross-bed. The maximum length of workpiece that can be operated on is 30 cm. This mini lathe machine can reduce large producing costs, reducing labor costs. The machine is easy to carry because of its portability and assembly and could be easily maintained. Due to its compactness and small size it will consume less energy than conventional lathes and will be easier and more efficient in small purpose work.
