Lathes Come In Many Sizes Micro Mini Small Huge Medium
Lathe Safety • Always wear ANSI approved Safety glasses • Never leave the chuck key in the chuck • Never wear loose clothing as it may become entangled in the lead screw. • If you have long hair tie it up • Make sure you have the lathe running in the right direction • Never run the cutter into the chuck • Check the speed of the lathe
Types of Parts That Can Be Made on a Lathe Custom Darts Specialty Bolts Gears Just About Anything Cylindrical Pulleys
The Two Types of Milling -Good finish -Can take bigger passes -Gives a nicer finish -Should not be used on hard materials
Types of Endmills • 2 Flute -Can be used like a drill • 4 Flute -Can be run at the same speed as a 2 flute -Longer cutting life
Types of Parts That Can Be Made on a Vertical Milling Machine
Bandsaw Vertical Horizontal
Bandsaw Safety • Always wear ANSI approved Safety glasses • Always keep the blade guards within 1/8” to ¼” of the stock. • Use a push block to cut small stock.
Bandsaw Safety • Never hold the stock ‘above’ the table. • If the blade comes out of the guides or breaks, stop the machine immediately. • Hold the stock on either side of the blade not in-line with it.
