Explanation:

  • Turning is a process of removing excess material from the workpiece to produce an axisymmetric surface, in which the workpiece rotates in a spindle, and the tool moves in a plane perpendicular to the surface velocity of the job at the tool-job contact point.
  • Turning operations are performed on a machine tool called a lathe.
  • In straight turning, the tool moves parallel to the job axis to machine the rotating job for producing a cylindrical surface.
  • If the tool moves radially inward to the end of the job, facing operation will be done.
  • In taper turning, a conical surface is produced.

  • The process parameters of interest in turning are cutting speed, feed, and depth of cut.
