In today’s scenario objective of manufacturing industries to produce product of low cost, high quality in short time. Which give more quality product in less time and help in increase in industry’s profit this is done by selection of correct machine tool lets us focus on lathe, as we all know lathe machine is basic (generic) machine in manufacturing industry and maximum work is taken from it. Lathe machine works on three cutting parameter. That’s why the selection of correct cutting parameter is important. In lathe machine cutting parameters are depth of cut, feed rate and spindle speed (cutting speed). But as we know the spindle speed is limited and every material has their own optimum cutting speed. So that we focused on spindle speed generally power is transmit by gearbox and stepped cone pulley so that the output spindle speed is limited generally in kirloskar harihar D-1 lathe machine uses cone stepped pulley and number of output spindle speed is eight that is from four direct speeds and four from back gear.
