Attachment for double start thread in lathe

Project Abstract / Summary : The process for making the double start thread in conventional lathe machine is quite time consuming. This is due to cutting the thread by changing the headstock position after the first cut. But in my project, by adding the additional tool post (just opposite to the present one) its is easy to cut the double start thread in one process without changing the headstock position. This also reduces the wear of the tool because the force act on tool is completely reduced to half because of the presence of two tools. This results in increase in tool life.

Why did you choose to work on this project topic : Need for double start thread in pipelines is high, but the making process is quite slow. In order to make it simple I choose this topic.
I expect that the future scope for this project is " make the number of thread starts by adjusting the tool post to any angle to do multiple starts says three or four start.

Project Highlights : This project is more useful for small scale industries as well as large scale industries. Because this reduces the time consumption, power requirement to cut double start. Even though the unskilled person can do the double start cut in lathe with this project. so I expect that there will be large need for this project in industries, that's why I think that our project will win this contest
