Abstract

Surfaces can be machined with the help of a shaping machine. Cuts curves, angles, and a wide variety of other geometric shapes. Although it can create a wide range of work, this machine is popular in a workshop due of its simple action. A shaper can only be used for one work at a time because it uses a single point cutting tool, which is not ideal for large production rates. For high production rates, a shaper cannot be employed since it uses a single point cutting tool to machine one piece at a time. Because milling machines are the most commonly used for gear cutting, their costs are too high for small businesses. As a result of this arrangement, small-scale milling businesses can use their lathe equipment to do gear cutting operations for a lower initial cost. The devices will take up less room as a result, freeing up space that may be put to better use. Still, it is experiencing various obstacles such machining of gear cutting on the shaft. To address this obstacle, it is required to design an attachment for the lathe. Which is able to overcome these challenges and flexible to use it.
