Shaping Machine Tools

Introduction


The shaping process was used in the early days of machine tools. Shaping machines arenot widely used now. Shaping produces flat surfaces by moving a single point cutting toolin a recprocating motion. The forward stroke is the cutting stroke the backward movement is completed at a faster velocity and includes the sideways feed motion.

The shaping machine is a versitile machine able to produce flat surfaces , grooves, T-Slots, dovetails, and may be used to produce curved surfaces.

The size of components that may be machined is normally limited by the lengthof the stroke of the shaping machine which can vary up to a maximum of about 1500mm. (750mm is normallythe maximum stroke. The shaping machine is not generally used as a production tool because of its slow cuttingspeed and the unproductive return stroke.SHAPING MACHINE
