1.2 LITERATURE REVIEW
Basically, along with stone, mud and animal
parts, wood was certainly one if the first materials worked by primitive
human-beings. Indeed, the development of wood lathe machine was closely
tied to the development of increasingly greater degrees of skill in
design of a wood. Thus, it was acknowledge of these facts brought about
the design of wood lathe.
The recent research indicates that wood
turning may be about 3000years old, originating, presumably
simultaneously in Great Britain, Italy and by inhabitants of Crimea.
In
the good old days, there was much art and much less speed than we get
today. Old spindle and bowl lathes used various sources of power, but
often had low end speed of 75RPM. There were treadle models and pedal
models with pedals designed to work as they did on the velocipedes wood
lathes. Lathes come in a variety of sizes and styles, which tends to
force the beginning turner to start out specialized in some manner,
though the smallest lathes are “Jewelers lathes†which are small enough
that they may be held on one hand. Although the work piece machined on a
Jeweler’s lathes are metal, Jeweler’s lathes differ from all other
working lathes in that the cutting tools are hand held, not fixed to a
cross slides.
Lathe machine come in variety of models amongst which
are bench lathes which can sit on a bench or table, CNC lathes that are
controlled by a computer, vertical lathes i.e lathe with vertical axis.
Also, there are some lathes that are equipped with indexing plates,
profiled cutters, spiral or helical guide, etc. so as to enable
ornamental turning.
Thus, the machine from its inception till date
have under gone series of improvement, some parts have been
simplified, modified or eliminated where found not absolutely necessary,
hence different models exist in the market.
What remains indisputable in all model is the fact that the same principle of machining is employed.
The
wood lathe, just like other types of lathe can be used to carry out a
wide range of machining operations. It saves time and does not need much
skill as in the use of hand tools.

ABSRACT - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]This write up outlines the design and fabrication of wood lathe machine. This type of lathe is capable of creating different wood designs using the cheapest available material and method.To achieve functional and efficient wood lathe of this kind, we analyzed as well as synthesized the different possible design solutions and concepts.The principle of turner is puts into consideration the case of its production, main finance and services, values durability , reliability and appearance of the ...
