Abstracts: The concept of this project relates to a combined lathe, drilling and milling machine and in its generic aspect contemplates the provision of a metal working machine upon which a plurality of operations upon different pieces of work may be simultaneously carried on and which is so constructed that the machine will occupy a minimum of floor space at low investment. The Multimachine -- a complete machine shop in one tool entirely built from scrap material. An almost free metal lathe, drill and milling machine. The Multimachine is a concept of cost effective multi-purpose machine tool. It can be built with common hand tools, a drill and a few small welds. It could be built with just one or two broken vehicle engines, a piece of pipe, a few feet of steel bar, and a metal sheet. The expected conclusion/result of this project is: • Several operations on the same piece of work are accurately performed without re-chucking or re-adjusting the work in its holder. • To avoid the dependency on other machine tools to machine simple jobs • To perform several functions on single machine thus reducing the floor space requirement • To reduce the overall investment cost were the requirement of mass production is not there like repair shops in villages.
