[Description]:
This project was used to learn how to thread using a lathe. This is an operation that is the foundation of most assembly and I thought it was a very important thing to know and understand how to do. So I came up with a simple project which requires threading, a waterproof match canister.
[Processes Applied]:
-Lathe operations
*Threading
*Precision Machining
*Drilling & Tapping
-Creating a Tool
*Grinding an precision tool (High Speed Steel)
[Summary]:
Learned some interesting properties of Aluminum, Mainly that Aluminum on Aluminum for threads will weld together. Project Terminated. Success on learning the basics behind threading a rod on a Lathe, and that is all we really need to have a successful project!
