ABSTRACT
The aim of our project is to make a Tapping (Hole making) machine for
Fibre Reinforced Plastic (FRP) pipe. The other methods employed to do this
tapping are Gas Flame Cutting & Laser cutting. The laser cutting is an expensive
process because production of laser is a tedious task. On the other hand, Gas Flame
Cutting creates Residual Stress on the cutting edges & thus making the edges more
brittle. This tapping machine overcomes all such difficulties and used for making
holes with wide range of sizes. Unlike conventional drilling machine, this machine
makes complete hole in a single pass. The machine is compact and makes hole
efficiently.
