4.9/5 (27388 ratings)

Description:Excerpt from Machining Tapered and Spherical Surfaces The proposition of accurately machining male and female tapered surfaces is one of almost daily occurrence in every factory, while the tapers required are of every degree of inclination. The materials on which the work is to be done are also varied, ranging from steel or brass bar stock of small diameter to cast iron or steel castings of great size. Conditions governing the work are widely different, as the number of pieces needed obviously makes a difference in the method of handling. When only one or two are required, and the size of the work is not prohibitive, the engine lathe is most frequently used, several well-known methods of generating the taper being possible on this machine, viz., setting over the tailstock to the correct angle, when the work is of such a nature that it may be held on centers; using the compound rest with hand feed; and using the taper attachment with which nearly all modern lathes are equipped and which is too well known to need description. There are also occasional instances where the lathe may be used for manufacturing work of this kind in large quantities, by means of special attachments, although this is usually applicable to conditions requiring no other machining operations except the taper. As a general thing when the number of pieces is sufficiently large to warrant it, the work is performed on the horizontal screw machine or turret lathe, the vertical turret lathe or the vertical boring mill. Many ingenious schemes for generating tapers on these machines have been devised, the construction of a number of which will be described and illustrated in the following. Taper Turning Devices for Bar Stock On turret lathes or screw machines equipped for bar work, there are various devices for turning a taper on the bar. These tools are in many instances patented, and may be purchased of the manufacturers. Obviously there are such a number of these that it is out of the question to attempt to describe each one. Detailed information may be easily obtained on request. Method of Finishing a Taper Hole without Generating the Taper Before taking up the subject of generating devices for taper work, let us first consider a method much used in turret lathe practice and one which may be depended upon to give very satisfactory results, when absolute accuracy is not essential. When the tools are properly taken care of, good commercial work may be turned out by means of the tooling shown in Fig. 1. It will be noted that all the tools used are piloted in a bushing located in the chuck. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
