also one of the most important machining process that can produce a wide variety of parts. It can be defined as the removal of metal from the outer diameter of a rotating cylindrical workpiece. This Process requires a turning machine or lathe, work piece, fixture, and cutting tool. Turning operation is used to reduce the diameter of the work piece, based upon the specified dimension, and to produce a smooth surface finish on the metal. The material used in turning operation is generally a work piece
the chuck key, then positioning the tool piece as near to the centre of the bar as possible then shaping off a small amount of material, it is important to get the tool piece in the correct position as if it is too high or too low it will miss part of the material. A Cutting speed was determined by the diameter and material of the bar then equating this figure to one of the speeds attainable by the lathe. This turned out to be 370 RPM for this machine selecting the relevant gears. As the

taking a course in writing technology, and the last thing you would imagine as a topic is how natural writing can or cannot be. Our teacher for this course had us come up with a writing project. We were asked to make twenty words or less using any tool that was natural and did not involve high technology. This means we could not use computers, paints, or markers. In discussing what we could use, the class quickly broke down the options. It appeared almost impossible. We got nothing. This is where
