Types of Machining Operations Gear Head Lathe Machine

Types of machining operations:

• External turning: Machining outer cylindrical surfaces, outer circular steps and outer tapered contours to meet dimensional tolerance requirements.
• Facing: Processing workpiece end faces to guarantee perpendicularity between end surface and axis.
• Internal boring: Machining inner holes, inner steps and inner tapered holes of different sizes.
• Thread turning: Cutting metric, inch, module and pitch internal & external screw threads for bolts, nuts and pipe connectors.
• Grooving & Parting-off: Cutting external/internal oil grooves, sealing grooves and separating finished workpieces from raw bar stock.
• Knurling: Creating anti-slip textured patterns on part surfaces for easy manual gripping.
• Chamfering & Deburring: Beveling sharp edges of shafts and holes, removing residual burrs after turning.
• Radius turning: Machining arc fillets and curved transitional surfaces on shaft workpieces.
• Drilling: Mounting drill bits on tailstock to process central holes on shaft parts.
