Taper Turning by Tail Stock Offset Method

This document provides instructions for performing taper turning using the tail stock offset method on a lathe machine. It describes how to calculate the offset needed using the formula provided. The necessary apparatus includes a lathe machine, workpiece, and tools like a chuck key and cutting tool bit. The procedure involves shifting the axis of rotation of the workpiece at an angle to the lathe axis and feeding the tool parallel to complete the taper. Precautions include securely fixing the workpiece and turning off power before measuring diameters.

Title: To perform taper turning by Tail stock offset method

Objective
 To know about different parts and tools of lathe machine.
 To study taper turning by tail stock method.

Introduction
Taper turning
This is a process in which a conical surface is produced from a cylindrical work piece by gradual
reduction in its diameter.
Offset
It can be found with the help of the following formula
Entire length+Conicity
S=
2
D l−D s
Conicity=
l
Dl = Large diameter

Ds = Small diameter

l = Total length

Apparatus
 Lathe machine
 Work piece

Tools
 Chuck key, High speed steel (HSS) cutting tool bit, Outside calipers, tool holder with
key, spanner.

Procedure
1. In this method we shift the axis of rotation of the work piece, at an angle to the lathe axis,
and feeding the tool parallel to the lathe axis. Figure 1 shows the rotation of axis.

Figure 1 Rotation of axis

2. The angle at which the axis of rotation of axis is shifted is equal to half of the angle of the
taper.
3. The body of the tailstock is made to slide on its base towards or away from the operator
by a set over screw.
4. The amount of set over being limited, this method is suitable for turning small taper on
long jobs.
5. Moreover, the lathe carrier being set at an angle, the angular velocity of the work is not
constant.

Precautions
1. The work piece should be fixed tight in a jaw.
2. Power supply must be switched off before measuring the diameters.
