Tools/metallathe/induction: Difference between revisions

Requires basicLevel training2 induction to be completed first as there's a lot of material to cover on this one so don't want to be going over basics again. People don't have to do the entire intermediatelevel 3 course, individual topics can be done as needed. The content of this course isn't finalised yet so we're not ready to run it as a full course but if you're specifically interested in one topic then contact a traininginduction provides who offers intermediatelevel 3 to arrange a short session on that topic. The 2 main modules are estimated to take 3-6 hours each and can be broken up over several days if needed

* Internal and external threadcutting with insert tools including multi-start and worm gears

* Blind turning on the indicator dials

* Grooving Internal and External

* Grinding tools/Profile turning

* Decoding carbide insert type codes

* Knurling (calculating diameters for an even knurl)

* discontinuous turning

* Altering the change-gears and speed limits (540)

* very large workpeices, faceplates and speed limits

* Using the dial indicator to maintain position on complex cuts

* Calculating feeds&speeds for other materials not on the standard table

* Cutting standard module worm gears

* Pressure-plate turning of plastics

* Advanced materials - Titanium/Magnesium alloys/HSS

* Advanced tooling that exists but we don't have, Cubic Boron Nitride, Diamond

* Tailstock offset turning

* Offset work mounting

* Workholding using all chuck types and recovering concentricity

* Mounting the large toolpost and setting it up

* non-round work

* using fixed and travelling steadies

* turning between centres

* Cleaning and oiling the lathe including oiling points

* Changing oil for the lathe
