Production of an item with desired qualities inherently involves the knowledge of the materials
that should be used for the product and the qualities of them. A simple example is using stainless
steel for a product that should not get stained.
Furthermore the effective processing of these materials until a finished product is obtained
requires the knowledge of processing characteristics of the materials. For example consider
machining stainless steel. Some important points to be considered are:
The tool material that should be used.
The level of machining (i.e. rough or finish)
The cutting speed

Table 2-1 gives the cutting speeds of the commonly used materials under different conditions.
Table 2-1 Cutting Speeds
Page 6
Spindle speed
The spindle speed is the rotational frequency of the spindle of the machine, measured in
revolutions per minute (RPM). The preferred speed is determined by working backward from the
desired surface speed (s-m or m/min) and incorporating the diameter (of work piece or cutter).
The spindle may hold the:
Page 7
Or it may hold the chuck, which then holds the work piece in a lathe. In these cases the tool
is often a stationary tool bit, although there are plenty of exceptions, such as in thread
milling.
Excessive spindle speed will cause premature tool wear, breakages, and can cause tool chatter,
all of which can lead to potentially dangerous conditions. Using the correct spindle speed for the
material and tools will greatly enhance tool life and the quality of the surface finish.
For a given machining operation, the cutting speed will remain constant for most situations;
therefore the spindle speed will also remain constant. However, facing, forming, parting off, and
recess operations on a lathe or screw machine involve the machining of a constantly changing
diameter. Ideally this means changing the spindle speed as the cut advances across the face of
the work piece, producing constant surface speed (CSS). Mechanical arrangements to affect CSS
have existed for centuries, but they were never applied commonly to machine tool control. In the
pre-CNC era, the ideal of CSS was ignored for most work. For unusual work that demanded it,
special pains were taken to achieve it. The introduction of CNC-controlled lathes has provided a
practical, everyday solution via automated CSS. By means of the machine's software
and variable speed electric motors, the lathe can increase the RPM of the spindle as the cutter
gets closer to the center of the part.
Grinding wheels are designed to be run at a maximum safe speed, the spindle speed of the
grinding machine may be variable but this should only be changed with due attention to the safe
working speed of the wheel. As a wheel wears it will decrease in diameter, and its effective
cutting speed will be reduced. Some grinders have the provision to increase the spindle speed,
which corrects for this loss of cutting ability; however, increasing the speed beyond the wheels
rating will destroy the wheel and create a serious hazard to life and limb.
Generally speaking, spindle speeds and feed rates are less critical in woodworking than
metalworking. Most woodworking machines including power saws such as circular and band
saws, jointers, Thickness planers rotate at a fixed RPM. In those machines, cutting speed is
regulated through the feed rate. The required feed rate can be extremely variable depending on
the power of the motor, the hardness of the wood or other material being machined, and the
sharpness of the cutting tool.
In woodworking, the ideal feed rate is one that is slow enough not to bog down the motor, yet
fast enough to avoid burning the material. Certain woods, such as black and maple are more
prone to burning than others. The right feed rate is usually obtained by "feel" if the material is
METHODOLOGY FOR EVALUATING EFFECT OF MATERIAL CHARACTERISTICS ON MACHINABILITY
Page 8
hand fed, or by trial and error if a power feeder is used. In thicknesses (planers), the wood is
usually fed automatically through rubber or corrugated steel rollers. Some of these machines
allow varying the feed rate, usually by changing pulleys. A slower feed rate usually results in a
finer surface as more cuts are made for any length of wood.
Spindle speed becomes important in the operation of routers, spindle molders or shapers, and
drills. Older and smaller routers often rotate at a fixed spindle speed, usually between 20,000 and
25,000 rpm. While these speeds are fine for small router bits, using larger bits, say more than 1inch (25 mm) or 25 millimeters in diameter, can be dangerous and can lead to chatter. Larger
routers now have variable speeds and larger bits require slower speed. Drilling wood generally
uses higher spindle speeds than metal, and the speed is not as critical. However, larger diameter
drill bits do require slower speeds to avoid burning.
Cutting feeds and speeds, and the spindle speeds that are derived from them, are the ideal cutting
conditions for a tool. If the conditions are less than ideal then adjustments are made to the
spindle's speed, this adjustment is usually a reduction in RPM to the closest available speed, or
one that is deemed (through knowledge and experience) to be correct.
Some materials, such as machinable wax, can be cut at a wide variety of spindle speeds, while
others, such as stainless steel require much more careful control as the cutting speed is critical, to
avoid overheating both the cutter and work piece. Stainless steel is one material that work
hardens very easily, therefore insufficient feed rate or incorrect spindle speed can lead to less
than ideal cutting conditions as the work piece will quickly harden and resist the tool's cutting
action. The liberal application of cutting fluid can improve these cutting conditions; however, the
correct selection of speeds is the critical factor.
Page 9
One analogy would be a skateboard rider and a bicycle rider travelling side by side along the
road. For a given surface speed (the speed of this pair along the road) the rotational speed (RPM)
of their wheels (large for the skater and small for the bicycle rider) will be different. This
rotational speed (RPM) is what we are calculating, given a fixed surface speed (speed along the
road) and known values for their wheel sizes (cutter or work piece).
Feed rate
Feed rate is the velocity at which the cutter is fed, that is, advanced against the work piece. It is
expressed in units of distance per revolution for turning and boring (typically inches per
revolution [pier] or millimeters per revolution). It can be expressed thus for milling also, but it is
often expressed in units of distance per time for milling (typically inches per minute [imp]
or millimeters per minute), with considerations of how many teeth (or flutes) the cutter has then
determining what that means for each tooth.
Feed rate is dependent on the:
Type of tool (a small drill or a large drill, high speed or carbide, a box tool or recess, a thin
form tool or wide form tool, a slide knurl or a turret straddle knurl).
Power available at the spindle (to prevent stalling of the cutter or work piece).
Rigidity of the machine and tooling setup (ability to withstand vibration or chatter).
Strength of the work piece (high feed rates will collapse thin wall tubing)
Characteristics of the material being cut, chip flow depends on material type and feed rate.
The ideal chip shape is small and breaks free early, carrying heat away from the tool and
work.
Threads per inch (TPI) for taps die heads and threading tools.
When deciding what feed rate to use for a certain cutting operation, the calculation is fairly
straightforward for single-point cutting tools, because all of the cutting work is done at one point
(done by "one tooth", as it were). With a milling machine or jointer, where multi-tipped/multifluted cutting tools are involved, then the desirable feed rate becomes dependent on the number
of teeth on the cutter, as well as the desired amount of material per tooth to cut (expressed as
chip load). The greater the number of cutting edges, the higher the feed rate permissible: for a
cutting edge to work efficiently it must remove sufficient material to cut rather than rub; it also
must do its fair share of work.

PLANNING MACHINE
Unlike most of other machines, the planning machine contains a sliding table which carries the
work piece. Cutting tools do not move but the work piece. The one in Metal Workshop was not
frequently used because of the heavy operating cost. It was only used for heavy duty metal
works.
Linear planning
The most common applications of planers and shapers are linear-tool path ones, such as:
Generating accurate flat surfaces. (While not as precise as grinding, a planer can remove a
tremendous amount of material in one pass with high accuracy. Cutting slots (such as keyways).
It is even possible to do work that might now be done by wire EDM in some cases. Starting from
a drilled or cored hole, a planer with a boring-bar type tool can cut internal features that don't
lend themselves to milling or boring (such as irregularly shaped holes with tight corners).
Helical planning
Although the archetypal tool path of a planer is linear, helical cutting can be accomplished by
coupling the table's linear motion to simultaneous rotation. The helical planning idea is similar to
both helical milling and single-point screw cutting.
The prime mover of the sliding table is a DC motor with the following specifications.

SHAPER
A shaper contains a table on which the work piece is mounted. The linear movement of the
cutting tool wipes away the excess material. This is exactly the opposite of what happens in the
planning machine where the tool is fixed and the work piece is linearly moved.
The Metal Workshop has two shapers, a fully mechanical one and a hydraulic operated one. The
ram moving motor of the fully mechanical shaper is of 2HP and that of the hydraulic one is
7.5HP.
The mechanical shaper has a constant speed prime mover which turns a disk as shown in Figure 3-1
to convert the rotational movement of the prime mover into reciprocal motion of the cutting tool.
TOO
e
Page 14
This arrangement allows quick return motion. Further more this allows feed rate change without
any gear arrangement or control of speed of motor. This is done by varying the eccentricity e.
The higher the e, the higher the feed rate is. A simple trade off of this feed rate control system is
that as the feed rate is reduced, the stroke of the ram also gets reduced. The hydraulic type
shaper does not have this problem and the feed rate and the stroke can be independently
controlled. Figure 3-2 shows the hydraulic arrangement. This machine has been manufactured by
Rockford Machine Tool, Rockford, Illinois, USA.

HAND DRILL
A hand drill is versatile equipment which can be freely used for drilling holes as well as for
some other purposes where a portable rotational prime mover is required. In the workshop you
probably use a hand drill and a ratchet brace as part of practical work. These are used for
drilling a range of sizes of hole and they are very useful especially if machine drills are not
available. The hand drill generally holds drill sizes from 1mm to 9mm whilst the brace will hold
larger drill bits called forester bits and auger bits. These larger bits can be used to drill blind
holes
(holes

material).
When using these drills, always hold them so that they are vertical and turn the handles in a
clockwise direction. The common mistake is to turn the handles anticlockwise as this makes it
almost impossible to drill even the smallest holes. Also, put scrap material underneath the
material to be drilled so that the bench is not damaged by the bit as it bursts through the other
side.
The specifications of the NHP1030 hand drill manufactured by Makita Corporation, Japan are

G Codes define the preparatory functions of the machine. In simple terms, they control the
movement and machining related functions of the machine tool. For example, the code "G76"
followed by some related arguments is used for fine boring. "G00" with X,Y,Z arguments
rapidly moves the bed and the spindle head to the position specified by the arguments.
Page 20
M Codes are known as auxiliary functions. They control specific behaviors of the machine. For
example "M08" turns on the coolant, M05 stops the spindle.

First a drawing of the machined work piece is created using AutoCAD in a PC. Then using a
special routine of AutoCAD, the contours of the cutting tool are generated. This is finally stored
as a text file in the hard drive of the PC.
Next, the CNC machine is set to retrieve this file. Through the coaxial cable which links the PC
and CNC machine, it is then fed into the machine tool. A numeric name for the program is given
at the beginning of the file retrieval to figure out the starting point (or the address in the
memory) of the retrieving program from earlier read programs.
Using this numeric name of the program, it is taken to the front from other programs in the
memory and it stays waiting to run. Pressing the "Start" button sequentially executes the listing.

If needed a program can directly be written using the Main Control Panel of the CNC machine

INTRODUCTION
During the time of training, two similar 280kW cross flow turbines were manufactured in the
Engineering Workshops. They were intended to be directly coupled to the generator as
shown in Figure 5-1.

In a cross flow turbine, the blades are arranged in a squirrel cage. Water from the penstock hits a
blade and travels across the cage, hits a second blade and leaves out. This is illustrated in Figure
5-2.
The turbine shown in Figure 5-2 has a governor connected to it internally. The latter produced
ones do not contain governors.
Page 28
COUPLINGS
The connection between the turbine and the generator is established by a set of cast iron
couplings shown in Figure 5-5. Each of these couplings contains fifteen nylon bushes. Each bush
on the turbine side coupling is connected to one bush on the generator side coupling using a
metal rod. The nylon bush arrangement reduces vibrations and related failures due to possible
eccentricities that may exist between two shafts.

Several problems and difficulties that were encountered during the training are listed below.
Getting a job done by a lazy workman:
Sometimes it was very difficult to find some workmen and get something done. Some
workmen were inherently lazy and they seemed to be postponing their work giving
various excuses. Following are some of their own words:
Mr. X may be working in the machine now and ask him to do the work.
Steeling tools:
Sometimes it was found that tools suddenly disappear from the Workshops. It was not
possible to find the person who took them and it was usual to see people pointing
others leading to unpleasant situations.
Sometimes some workmen temporarily borrowed others equipment and later just left
them in the place they worked without returning them. When they were asked about
them it was common to get the answer I kept it right here. Somebody seems to have
taken it.

CONCLUSION
The profit of an organization entirely depends on the way the top chairs manage the resources
the organization has. Whatever the other aspects may be, it was seen that managing human
resource was extremely difficult. The stability or the sustainability of the organization mostly
depends on this factor.
On the other hand, it was prominently seen that thinking should precede doing. In most cases
it could be seen that there exists easier or better ways to do something.
As far as the above mentioned factor is considered, continuous knowledge mining followed
by experience in a cycle upholds the entire system in every aspect.
1. Maintain a simple booklet on materials that are used in the Engineering Workshops. This
should contain the properties and the processing aspects (cutting speeds, coolants, etc.)
2. Maintain a booklet on each machine about the capabilities of them and the current
condition.
4. Maintain a training program for the employees at least one session a month.

Furthermore I suggest that it would have been better if all the undergraduates were exposed
to some presentations on the in-plant training before we were released. Some illustrative.
