324 Flashcards
Always check the lathe bed to make sure it is
Level
You should always cut off bar stock for machining
Slightly longer than needed
Longer workpieces should be
Mounted between centers
When installing a faceplate,
Screw it on by hand
Always select a lathe dog
Not larger than necessary to accept the workpiece
When facing, use a half center to
Allow clearance for the cutting tool
Be sure the tail of the lathe dog
Does not sit on the bottom of the faceplate
Make sure the cutting tool
Does not hang out excessively from the tool holder
The cutting speed and feed on a lathe should always be
Calculated to obtain the best possible finish
In accordance with published tables from manufacturers
In balance
All of the above
When moving the cutter into the workpiece during facing,
Be careful not to strike dead center
Always remember that your depth of cut will
Reduce the overall diameter by twice the amount of cut
Always use a right-hand tool when
Cutting right to left
Depending on the hand of cut, the cutting tool point should be _____ degrees toward the headstock or tailstock.
4 to 5
In rough turning, the cutter point should positioned _____ the centerline
5° above
With a constant depth of cut,
An increase in speed requires a decrease in feed
The most accurate way to test if adjustments are needed is
A trial cut
When reversing work end for end between centers,
Protect the machined surface from the lathe dog
Always take your finishing cut
In the same direction as the rough cut
When aligning the cutting tool for a finishing cut,
set the cutting tool above the centerline of the work
A trial cut should be about
^1/4 in.
