Methods of mounting of jobs and cutting tools in machine tools
The job or blank and the cutting tools essentially need to be properly mounted in the machine tool for achieving desired performance of the machining system.
A)while mounting the job or blank in the machine tool
1. appropriate selection of work holding device or system from the available resources depending upon; • configuration of the machine tool • shape, size and weight of the blank • kind of machining work to be done • order of dimensional accuracy desired • volume (number of same job) of production
2. correct location, strong support and rigid clamping of the blank against the cutting and other forces
Methods of mounting of jobs and cutting tools in machine tools
3. easy and quick loading and unloading to and from the machine tool or the holding device 4. proper alignment like coaxiality, concentricity etc. of rotating jobs 5. free flow of chips and cutting fluid
B) while mounting the cutting tools 1. appropriate selection of tool holder and the method of mounting 2. proper positioning and orientation of the tool depending upon its
type size and shape geometry
• proper alignment in respect of coaxiality, concentricity and machine tool configuration • accurate and quick locating, strong support and rigid clamping • minimisation of run out and deflection during cutting operation easy and quick mounting and change • unobstructed chip flow and cutting fluid action
Mounting of Job in centre lathes
Jobs requiring no support from the tailstock are usually mounted in
1. Chucks • 3 – jaw self centering chuck • 4 – jaw independent chuck
2. Face plate
3. Jigs and fixture

For turning, facing, boring, threading and similar operations, jobs of odd shape and size are usually mounted on large face plate (instead of chuck) being fitted on the spindle nose
Mounting of Job in centre lathesJobs requiring support from the tailstock are usually mounted• In-between the centres • In-between the chuck and centre • In-between headstock and tailstock with additional support of rest

Mounting of Job in centre lathes
Depending upon the situation or requirement, different types of centres are used at the tailstock end

2. In-between the chuck and centre: Heavy and reasonably long jobs which have large diameters and required heavy cuts are essentially held strongly and rigidly in the chuck at headstock with support from the tailstock through a revolving centre
Mounting of Job in centre lathesIn-between headstock and tailstock with additional support of rest: To prevent deflection of the long slender jobs like feed rod, leadscrew etc. due to sagging and cutting forces during machining, some additional support are provided.
Mounting of tools in centre lathes
Different types of tools which are used in centre lathes are usually mounted in the following ways.
1. HSS tools (Shank type) in the tool post.
2. HSS form tools and threading tools in tool post
3. Carbide and ceramic inserts in standard tool-holders
4. Drills and reamers, if required, in the tailstock
5. Boring tools in tool post

Mounting of Jobs and tools in Drilling machines
Mounting of Jobs:
1. by directly clamp when job is heavy and/or of odd shape and size
2. in a vice which is clamped on the bed

Mounting of tools:
Small straight shank type solid HSS and carbide drill are held in a drill chuck which is fitted in the drill spindle at its taper bore.
