Definition of Shaping, Planing &
Slotting Machine Planing, shaping, and slotting are processes for machining
horizontal, vertical, and inclined flat surfaces, slots, orgrooves by means of a lathe-type cutting tool.
In all these processes, the cutting action takes place along a
straight line. In planing, the workpiece (and the machinebed) is reciprocated, and the tool is fed across theworkpiece to reproduce another straight line, thusgenerating a flat surface.
In shaping and slotting, the cutting tool is reciprocated, and
the workpiece is fed normal to the direction of tool motion.The difference between the latter two processes is that thetool path is horizontal in shaping and it is vertical inslotting.
Shapers and Slotters can be employed in cutting external
and internal keyways, gear racks, dovetails, and T-slots.8/30/2012 3Prof. Irfan Shaikh

Planing and Shaping Tools
Planing and shaping processes employ single-pointtools of the lathe type, but heavier in construction.
They are made of either high-speed steel or carbontool steel with carbide tips. In the latter case, themachine tool should be equipped with an automatic
lifting device to keep the tool from rubbing theworkpiece during the return stroke, thus eliminatingthe possibility of breaking or chipping the carbide tips.
The cutting angles for these tools depend upon thepurpose for which the tool is to be used and thematerial being cut. The end relief angle does notusually exceed 4, whereas the side relief variesbetween 6 and 14. The side rake angle also variesbetween 5 (for cast iron) and 15 (for medium-carbonsteel).

Vertical Shaper
The vertical shaper is similar in construction andoperation to the push-cut shaper, the difference beingthat the ram and the tool head travel vertically insteadof horizontally.
Also, in this type of shaper, the workpiece is mountedon a round table that can have a rotary feed wheneverdesired to allow the machining of curved surfaces (e.g.,spiral grooves).
Vertical shapers, which are sometimes referred to as
slotters, are used in internal cutting. Another type of vertical shaper is known as a keyseater
because it is specially designed for cutting keyways ingears, cams, pulleys, and the like.

Planer A planer is a machine tool that does the same work as the
horizontal shaper but on workpieces that are much larger thanthose machined on a shaper.
Double-housing and Open-side constructions.
In a double-housing planer, two vertical housings are mounted atthe sides of the long, heavy bed.
A cross rail that is supported at the top of these housings carries
the cutting tools. The machine table (while in operation) reciprocates along the
guideways of the bed and has T-slots in its upper surface forclamping the workpiece.
In this type of planer, the table is powered by a variable-speed dc
motor through a gear drive. The cross rail can be raised or lowered as required, and the
inclination of the tools can be adjusted as well.
In an open-side planer, there is only one upright housing at one sideof the bed. This construction provides more flexibility when widerworkpieces are to be machined.

Types of drills
A drill is a multi point cutting tool used to
produce or enlarge a hole in the workpiece.
It usually consists of two cutting edges set an
angle with the axis. Broadly there are three
types of drills:
1. Flat drill,
2. Straight-fluted drill, and
3. Twist drill

Twist drill Two cutting edges and two
helical flutes The two cutting edges are
referred to as the lips andare connected together bya wedge, which is a chisel-like edge.
Two margins that allow thedrill to be properly located
and guided while it is inoperation.
The tool point angle (TPA)The usual TPA forcommercial drills is 118,which is appropriate fordrilling low-carbon steelsand cast irons.
For harder and toughermetals, such as hardenedsteel, brass, and bronze,larger TPAs (130 or 140)give better performance.

Centerless grinding Centerless grinding involves passing a cylindrical workpiece,
which is supported by a rest blade, between two wheels(i.e., the grinding wheel and the regulating or feed wheel).
The grinding wheel does the actual grinding, while theregulating wheel is responsible for rotating the workpieceas well as generating the longitudinal feed.
This is possible because of the frictional characteristics ofthis wheel, which is usually made of rubber-bondedabrasive.
The velocity of the regulating wheel is controllable and is
used to achieve any desired rotational speed of theworkpiece. The angle a is usually taken from 1 to 5; thelarger the angle, the larger the longitudinal feed will be.

Grinding Wheels
Grinding wheels are composed of abrasive grains havingsimilar size and a binder.
The actual grinding process is performed by the abrasivegrains. Pores between the grains within the binder enablethe grains to act like separate single-point cutting tools.
These pores also provide space for the generated chips,thus preventing the wheel from clogging.
In addition, pores assist the easy flow of coolants so thatheat generated during the grinding process is efficientlyand promptly removed.
Grinding wheels are identified by their shape and size, kindof abrasive, grain size, binder, grade (hardness), andstructure.

Abrasive Material Natural abrasives: Natural abrasives include sand
stone, diamond, corundum and emery. Diamondabrasive wheels are used sharpening carbide andceramic cutting tools.
They are also used for turning and dressing other types
of abrasive wheels. Artificial abrasives: They include silicon carbide and
aluminum oxide. Silicon carbide is made by heatingsilica sand, coke, salt and sawdust in an electric furnaceat 23000oC for hours resulting in a solid mass of silicon
carbide. Upon cooling, this mass is removed from the furnace,
crushed and graded as per the various sizes obtained.

Silicon carbide, aluminum oxide and diamond dust are thecommonly used lapping powders.
Oil and greases are used to spread the abrasive powders.The charged lap is rubbed against the work piece surfaceand the abrasive particles in the surface of the lap removesmall amounts of material from the work piece surface. Thematerial removed by lapping is usually less than 0.025 mm.
