Learn turning on a lathe, a metal-removal process where a single-point tool cuts to depth as the work spins at rpm from original to final diameter.
Explore holding and drawing forces in cup formation, detailing punch diameter and inside diameter, blank holder distance, stock thickness, and material properties used to calculate forces.
Assess design feasibility by evaluating three ratios—join ratio, drawing ratio, and thickness-to-diameter ratio—and conclude feasibility when all tests are met.
Learn drilling basics and apply formulas to compute rotational speed, feed rate, and material removal rate for blind and through holes using drill diameter, stock thickness, depth, and point angle.
Demonstrates a centrifugal casting example by calculating rotational speed to produce steel tube sections, using inner diameter of the mold, inner radius, g factor, and unit conversions.
Calculate the production cycle time per piece by adding port handling time, turning time, and tool-change time, then determine tool life for maximum production.
'Introduction to Manufacturing' makes complicated machining calculations easy!
This course includes video and text explanations of machining and manufacturing, and it includes more than 30 worked-through video examples with easy-to-understand explanations. In this course you will learn these essential manufacturing operations and calculations:
Basic Manufacturing
Turning
Punching
Milling
Holding and Drawing Force
Feasibility Ratios
Drilling
Bending
Centrifugal Casting
Production Cycle Time
These are the 10 fundamental chapters in the study of machining and manufacturing.
Watch over my shoulder as I solve problems for every single machining issue you’ll encounter. We start from the beginning. First I teach the theory. Then I do an example problem. I explain the problem, the steps I take, why I take them and how to simplify the answer when you get it.
You can ask me for help in the Q&A section any time, any day, whether it's related to the video content or another problem you're struggling with at home. Either way, I'm here to help you achieve your goals and do the best you possibly can!
