The video is a detailed demonstration of machining a Morse taper in a lathe. The process involves turning, threading, drilling, and boring to create the taper. The presenter uses various tools, including drills, reamers, and a live center, to achieve precise dimensions. The video also shows how to use an indicator and compound slide to ensure accuracy. The final result is a well-machined Morse taper in the lathe spindle.
1. The process involves working on a spindle, which is a rotating machine tool that is used to shape and cut materials.
2. The first operation involves drilling and threading.
3. The spindle is then worked on to create a Morse taper, a type of thread that is used to connect two parts.
4. This operation is done using a number two Morse taper drill bit.
5. The process involves drilling a hole from one side of the spindle and then boring it on the other side.
6. The boring is done using a 10.2 millimeter drill and a compound slide.
7. The compound slide is used to machine the taper up inside of the spindle.
8. The process involves working with a dead center, which is used to ensure that the spindle is centered correctly.
9. The dead center is used to indicate the angle of the Morse taper.
10. The process involves using a soft blow to tap the base of the spindle and dial in the Morse taper.
11. The process involves using a 5 8 diameter drill to bore to the proper depth.
12. The final cut on the Morse taper is done using a reamer to clean the bore and remove tool marks.
13. The process involves cleaning the spindle with cutting oil and degreaser to remove any remaining cutting oil and tool marks.
14. The process involves cutting a small center at the end of the spindle to create a true center.
15. The final operation involves drilling a 10.2 millimeter hole through the spindle using a Gator three jaw Chuck.
16. The process involves milling 12 equally spaced holes, four equally spaced
