Mounting Jobs and Cutting Tools in Lathes and Drilling Machines in Manufacturing Processes
Correct mounting of workpieces and cutting tools in machine tools is governed by a set of general principles — appropriate work-holding/tool-holding selection, secure locating/supporting/clamping, minimal run-out and deflection, alignment relative to the machine and tool axes, and unobstructed chip/coolant flow — that determine achievable machining accuracy, rigidity, and productivity. This is a principle of manufacturing processes, specifically machine tool fixturing/work-holding theory, within the broader discipline of production engineering, and it varies systematically with workpiece geometry, material, operation type, and production volume.
