DEVICES FOR DIMENSIONAL ADJUSTMENT OF THE CUTTING OF LATHE MACHINES

In this paper, the factors affecting the processing accuracy of lathes are examined. The paper highlights their environments, the dominant factors that have the greatest influence on the processing accuracy. The possibilities of increasing the processing accuracy on existing lathes by eliminating the influence of dominant factors on the processing accuracy is analyzed. The authors describes the place and value of the dimensional adjustment of the cutting edge of lathes while ensuring the accuracy of processing of parts such as a body of revolution, a method and a schematic diagram of a device for precision adjustment of the cutters of a lathe to the size to be machined are proposed in this paper.
