CE 1.2 Project Background
CE 1.2.1 Characteristics of the project
This project of Design and Analysis of Grinding Attachment was the Machine tool
Design project that I executed in the fourth year bachelor’s degree. The grinding operation in
a lathe machine is solely performed to obtain excellent surface finishing once the turning
operation is completed. This is eventually done to learn about the needed dimensions of
portion, which are to be used in the assemblies. Hence, to execute these two important and
significant operations on a lathe machine, the designing of grinding attachment is done. The
analysis part of this project is done to verify the project. This particular project discusses
regarding an attempt to decrease the total time for both loading as well as unloading of any
work piece with the preferred surface finish. The project gives a proper description regarding
the wheel selection for grinding. The grinding attachment of lathe machine also takes into
account the lack of flexibility within the design. This design is then subsequently analyzed on
inventor software and thus compared with several theoretical calculations.

CE 1.2.2 Objectives developed for the project
The project of Design and Analysis of Grinding Attachment has various significant
objectives. The objectives are as follows:
 To design as well as analyze the grinding attachment of a lathe machine.
 To execute various operations.
CE 1.2.3 My area of work
I was an important member in the project team for designing and analyzing grinding
attachment of a lathe machine. I ensured the fact that this project becomes successful. I had
significantly worked under the perfect supervision of my team leader and head of the
department. In the beginning, I had several doubts about the project. However, my team
members and team leader helped me to clear all my doubts and thus I was able to understand
the complete project perfectly. This project has even helped me in understanding the entire
concepts of grinding attachment as well as lathe machine. My major area of work was to
design the grinding attachment of the lathe machine.

CE 1.2.5 My responsibilities throughout the project
I had several significant responsibilities throughout the project. I was given the core
responsibility to create the design of the grinding attachment. Since this was my fourth year
Machine tool design project, I made sure that the design is made perfectly. Next, I checked
the various processes, which are to be executed in the project work. I subsequently
customized, examined and assessed the products. I even made the list of the raw materials,
required in this project. I kept a record of the data that were taken while calculating. I even
analyzed and interpreted the taken data to design and analyse the project. I also arranged for
project team meetings that were hold in the end of every week for understanding the strengths
and weaknesses of the project.
