Fig. 21.3 Different parts of engine lathe or central lathe<br />

21.3.1 Bed<br />

The bed of a lathe machine is the base on which all other parts of lathe are mounted.<br />

It is massive <strong>and</strong> rigid single piece casting made <strong>to</strong> support other active parts of lathe. On<br />

left end of the bed, heads<strong>to</strong>ck of lathe machine is located while on right side tails<strong>to</strong>ck is<br />

located. The carriage of the machine rests over the bed <strong>and</strong> slides on it. On the <strong>to</strong>p of the<br />

bed there are two sets of guideways-innerways <strong>and</strong> outerways. The innerways provide sliding<br />

surfaces for the tails<strong>to</strong>ck <strong>and</strong> the outerways for the carriage. The guideways of the lathe bed<br />

may be flat <strong>and</strong> inverted V shape. Generally cast iron alloyed with nickel <strong>and</strong> chromium<br />

material is used for manufacturing of the lathe bed.<br />

21.3.2 Head S<strong>to</strong>ck<br />

The main function of heads<strong>to</strong>ck is <strong>to</strong> transmit power <strong>to</strong> the different parts of a lathe. It<br />

comprises of the heads<strong>to</strong>ck casting <strong>to</strong> accommodate all the parts within it including gear train<br />

arrangement. The main spindle is adjusted in it, which possesses live centre <strong>to</strong> which the<br />

work can be attached. It supports the work <strong>and</strong> revolves with the work, fitted in<strong>to</strong> the main<br />

spindle of the heads<strong>to</strong>ck. The cone pulley is also attached with this arrangement, which is<br />

used <strong>to</strong> get various spindle speed through electric mo<strong>to</strong>r. The back gear arrangement is used
