The Turning of Driving WJaeels The present day wheel lathe is a very heavy and stal-wart machine and is capable of taking a heavy cut with abig feed, and moreover standing for a good deal of excessstress. But that is no reason why it should be abused asit very often is. It was built for taking an ordinary roughing cut ofsufficient depth to do all of thework with one cut, leavingmerely the rough surface left by the tool to be smoothedoff for the finished wheel. It frequently happens, however, that the finishing toolis all that is used. This is an abuse both of tlie cuttingtool and the machine. .•\ shaped finishing tool is a costlv. of using them, a drawing that is here are four cutting tools in all, each of which aremade in rights and lefts for the right and left hand turretsrespectively. The first which is not shown in a specialdrawing is the roughing tool F. Then there are the threefinishing tools, G, H and I, with the corresponding mat-ing tools marked with a prime. Of these the upper row isfor the left hand turret and the lower row for the righthand turret. The cutting edges of each tool has a rakeof 4 degrees and a clearance of 6 degrees, which has beenfound to give the best results for finishing work in tiresteel. h---^ t— /«.- -^ t f ■* ^^r^ ^ 1 1 1 jL ~^-^:^^^v 1 [^._,v^/.
