Q

What are the solutions to avoid chatter marks?

A
  • more stable machine.
  • change cutting conditions:
    Speed, depth, add fluid, change feed rate.

Q

What application would a National buttress thread be used for?

A

One directional force

20
Q

What application would a NPT pipe thread be used for?

A

Self tightening, self sealing

21
Q

What is the equation for material removal rate for turning?

A

Material removal rate = cutting speed * feed * depth of cut

22
Q

What is the equation for cutting time for turning?

A

Cutting time = length / feed rate

23
Q

What is the difference between slab and face milling

A

Slab milling - parallel plane to axis of cutter

Face milling - right angle to rotation of cutter

24
Q

What is slot milling?

A

Creating a narrow ridge in the part

25
Q

What are the characteristics of conventional milling

A

Smoother cutting

Firmer fixture of part required

26
Q

What are the characteristics of climb milling?

A
  • backlash eliminator required
  • less power required
  • not for parts with hard surfaces
    -longer tool life
27
Q

What is the equation to calculate cutting speed of milling machine?

A

Cutting speed = pi * cutter diameter * speed of cutter

28
Q

What could cause a drill bit to break?

A

Dull drill bit, feed too high

29
Q

What could cause excessive drill bit wear?

A
  • cutting speed to high
  • more fluid required
  • rake angle too high
30
Q

What could cause a tapered or oversized hole?

A

Drill bit miss aligned or bent

31
Q

What factors would produce a poor surface finish on a drilled hole?

A
  • dull drill
  • lack of coolant
