I start my work by securing the work pieces in to the machine vice, isit's very important to take into account over clamping as the work piece can cause distortions that can cause damage to finished surfaces and distort the work piece. Under clampingUnder-clamping, on the other hand, could make the work loose and subsequently fly out of the vice and can damage the work or harm myself or other people around. Next, I use a fly cutterfly-cutter to create a flat face on both sides onof the part, to bring the working piece to the correct size and to curate a datum to mark the position of the holes. Instead of the chart I use an application on my mobile phone to determine the correct speed and hand feed to do the work.

I drilled, reamed and machined two holes to fit
the steel tube and motor shaft on the each side of the bracket. I preventprevented the drill bit from overheating and jamming in the material, which potentially can damage the working piece. I start drilling the hole using a centre drill and a 5mm diameter drill bit. Then the hole is enlarged, to approximately to 2mm at a time, until I reach the wanted size. Finally I use the End Mill to drill a half way deep hole to fit the motor shaft housing with the help of a micrometre adjusting nut on the machine.





My next job is to machine a motor shaft lid using a steel bar on the lathe. I face off and turn the material to the correct diameter; I bevel the extreme end of a workpiece. This is done to remove the burrs, to protect the end of the workpiece from being damaged (chamfering) and then
I carefully I drill the correct depth hole to fit the motor shaft with help of the barrel of the tailstock.
