Lathe spindles

Having an internal threading job and no lathe vith a lead screw, 1 used the following device successfully A nut, having the same pitch thread as that needed in the work, was ohiatned, and the outside was turned and tapered to fit in the lathe spindle. A hnli with the head removed wa.s bent at right angles and attaclied to...

Dimensions of the adhesive area were 162 mm and 160 mm for the diameters of the chuck and the driving sides, respectively, and 42 mm in width. Grooves 50 pm deep and 15 mm wide were also prepared between the sleeves and the bearings, to be filled with the adhesive for joining the latter together. In Fig. 5.22 are shown the lathe spindles assembled in... 

The lathe spindle was assembled in the following manner with the adhesive. The bearings were first installed on the spindle and the sleeves bonded. The spindle nut was then tightened to apply appropriate pressure on the bearings. Then the whole spindle unit was inserted into the spindle box with the adhesive on its sleeves. The spindle location was adjusted during the pot-life of the adhesive, so that assembly errors in the parallelism between the spindle and the carriage motion, and difference between the heights of the head and tail stocl, were reduced to tolerable levels. 

The static stiffness of the lathe spindle is as shown in Fig. 5.25. The stiffness decreased greatly by assembling the spindle with the adhesive. The spindle assembled with adhesive B, which had higher elasticity than adhesive A, was less stiff than the spindle assembled with adhesive A It seems that the stiffness is influenced not only by the existence of the adhesive layer, but also by the degree of tightening of the bearings etc.

If tbe mechanic wishes to make a tool this kind, that will be more serviceable and at the same time look like something, he can procure a casting similar to the movable bead of a lathe, and pot in the bole where the spindle is placed a similar... 

How io Remove Rusted JSkirews, Broken HippUs etc.—Sometimes it so happens that a screw is so rusted in a lock or other part of a gun, or a rusted nipple refuses to start firom its seat, and by rapeated trials the sides of the screw-head adjoining the slot are worn away or the squares of the nipple are forced off, and the removal of either screwornipple an almost impossibility with the band screw driver or nipple wrench. In such cases have a screw driver or the nipple wrench fitted to the lathe chuck, and, holdingUie screw or nipple in place to he thus turned out, move the dead spindle of the lathe so that the woi c be firmly held in place, with no chance to ve back, then turn the lathe by moving the fly-wheel with the hand, or hold the wheel fast and turn the work, and, as there is no chance for the tool to slip from its place, the screw and nipple is almost sure to Ce started. If so, it may be re ily turned from its place by hand.

A typical use of such methodology is in the various forms of GNG machining. GNG (computer numeric control) refers to the use of reduced-instruction-set computers to control the mechanical operation of machines. GNG lathes and mills are two common applications of the technology. In the traditional use of a lathe, a human operator adjusts all of the working parameters such as spindle rotation speed, feed rate, and depth of cut, through an order of op>-erations that is designed to produce a finished piece...
