DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF INTERNAL GRAINDING ATTACHMENT IN LATHE

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

Everyone knows a tool post grinder is one mighty handy item to have as an addition to a lathe, however, if you ever priced one, you know they run in to some serious amounts of money. So, with this in mind, I set off to build my own. Pictured below is the outcome of that project. I have to say the tool post grinder works extremely well. By varying the pulley sizes I can get a high end speed of over 10,000 rpm if needed. The only change I would make is to have a totally enclosed motor to keep out the grit. Our project is design and fabrication of Multi Use Tool Post Grinder. It is used to grind the machining surfaces to super finish and accuracy. It can be used as an internal and external Grinder by fixing the attachment on the Carriage of a center Lathe. The principle parts of this attachment are main body, Spindle shaft, bearings, rope pulley and grinding wheel etc.
