8. OTHER SHAPERS
Crank type shaper
Crank and slotted link mechanism of a crank type shaper converts the rotation of an electric motor
into reciprocating movement of the ram. Though the lengths of both the forward and return strokes
are equal, the ram travels at a faster speed during return stroke. This quick return is incorporated in
almost all types of shaper.
Hydraulic shaper
The ram of a hydraulic shaper is connected to a piston. Oil at high pressure is pumped to the
cylinder of the hydraulic system. As the oil pushes the piston, the ram reciprocates. Hydraulic
shapers are high power machines and are used for heavy duty work.
Universal shaper
The universal shaper has a special type of table which can be swiveled and positioned at any
angle about a horizontal axis. Apart from the cross and vertical travel, the table of a universal
shaper can be swiveled to any angle to machine inclined surfaces. In the process, the position of the
work in the table need not be changed. These machines are utilized in precision workshops

producing a flat surface
which may be vertical,
horizontal or at an angle to
the table surface.
• The end milling is
performed by a cutter known
as an end mill.
• End milling is mostly
performed in a vertical
milling machine.
79. T- slot milling

fits into the holes in the index
plate. If the pin moved from one
hole to the next in a 24 hole circle
of the index plate , the spindle
will revolve by 1/40 x 1/24 =
1/960 of a turn.
87. DRILLING

130. Introduction
• Broaching is the process of removing metal with a
tool which has “teeth” arranged in a row. Each
tooth is successively higher than the previous tooth
and removes more material. In broaching, one
stroke or cycle of the machine produces a finished
part.
• Broaching is used to produce both internal and
external features. Production rates are high and
tolerances of +/- .0005” are possible.

135. Broaching methods
Pull Broaching
Workpiece is clamped to the broaching machine in stationary position and the broach is
pulled through the work. Broaches are usually long and are held in a special head. Pull
broaching is mostly used for internal broaching.
Push Broaching
Workpiece is held in the broaching machine in stationary position and broach is pushed
through the portion of workpiece to the machined. Normally push broaching is done by
hand and arbor presses (hydraulic press). This method is also recommended for internal
broaching like for sizing and finishing the holes, cavities, and key ways.
Surface Broaching
Any one of two, either workpiece or the broach (tool) is kept moving and other is kept
stationary. The method is widely used as surface finishing operation. In case of surface
broaching, the broaching tool is specifically designed for the shape to be finished.
Continuous Broaching
In continuous broaching the broach is held stationary in the broaching machine and
workpiece is moved continuously. The teeth of movement of the workpiece may be either
straight, horizontal or circular. This is generally used for broaching a large number of
similar workpieces at a time.
144. Nomenclature
Pull End ---- Pull end is made to attach the broach to the broaching machine through the puller head.
Front Pilot -- This centres the broach in the hole to be finished just before start of processing.
Roughing Teeth --These are the cutting edges which remove larger amount of stocks during cutting. Larger amount
removal generates poor quality of surface finish but makes the operation faster.
Finishing Teeth --- These are cutting edges removing smaller stocks of material. These are used for final finishing of the
surfaces and their accurate sizing.
Rear Pilot and Follower Rest --This is a supporting device to the broach when it is likely to complete its operation of
broaching.
Land --It is the width of flank face of the broach normally it is kept slightly inclined to give relief angle to the flank face
of broach.
Pitch -- It is the distance between two corresponding points on two successive teeth of a broach. Normally pitch of
finishing teeth of a broach is kept comparatively smaller than the rough cutting teeth.
Height of the Teeth ---Height of the roughing and finishing teeth gradually increases from the shank to the finishing teeth.
This increment is called the cut per tooth, it depends on the material being machined. Normally the cut per tooth is
taken from 0.01 or 0.2 mm for the finishing teeth and it may go up 0.2 mm for the cutting teeth.
146. • Advantages and Limitations of Broaching
Major advantages
• Very high production rate (much higher than milling, planning, boring etc.)
• High dimensional and form accuracy and surface finish of theproduct
• Roughing and finishing in single stroke of the same cutter

simpler
• Extremely suitable and economic for mass production
Limitations
• Only through holes and surfaces can be machined
• Usable only for light cuts, i.e. low chip load and unhard materials
• Cutting speed cannot be high
• Defects or damages in the broach (cutting edges) severelyaffect product quality
• Design, manufacture and restoration of the broaches are difficultand expensive
• Economic only when the production volume is large.
147. Disadvantages
(a) Its initial cost is quite high.
(b) Very large sized work pieces can not be subjected to broaching operation.
(c) Broaching is not possible for the surfaces having obstructions.
(d) Removal of larger stocks is not possible in broaching operation.
(e) Clamping devices require frequent maintenance and cost.
