Improved Electric Wood Lathe Machine

Abstract

The Overall Aim Of This Thesis Project Is To Show An Alternate Direction How Possible To Design And Manufacture Cost Competent Electrical Wood Lathe Machine Equipped With Safety Cover And Having 1200mm Center Distance And Diameter That Can Be Accommodate Wood Stock Up To 400mm. The Machine Is Fabricated From Locally Sourced Materials, Which Makes It Cheap And Easily To Maintain. Wood Turning Machine Is Known To Have A Wide Use Within The Wood Working Industry And Sme (Small And Micro Enterprise). Most Engineering Firms Have Therefore Capitalized On This And Developed Technologically Advanced Machines. A Visit To Local Dealer Of These Machines, It Proved That The Imported Wood Lathe Machines Can Somewhat Be Expensive InOur Country. Based On The Data Analyzed, A Wood Lathe Machine Is Designed And Manufactured To Improve The Efficiency Of The Users.Looking At The Current Economic Situation In Ethiopia, An Artisan (Sme) Who Wants To Own One Of This Cannot Have Enough Money. With This Picture In Mind That Design And Manufacture In A Very Competitive Or Viable Price By Reverse Engineering (Redesigning). This Would Allow A Low Income Earner To Access The Machine.
