Q

feed change lever

A

select between carriage or cross slide for power when automatic feed lever is engaged

23
Q

tailstock

A

consist of two part casting that sits on the ways and is clamped in place with the tailstock clamp

23
Q

Tailstock spindle

A

can move in and out by turning the tailstock handwheel Spindle bore is Morse taper to accommodate dead center . drill chuck and other cutting and clamp in place with the spindle clamp

24
Q

Lathe dogs

A

use to transmit power from the spindle to the workpiece when held between centers. Great care should be taken when used protruding parts can catch loose clothing and severely injure the operator .

25
Q

Tool holding system must meet the following

A

1 tool must be held rigidly
2 the height of the cutting tool must be adjustable
3 tool setting must be repeatable .

26
Q

steady rest

A

To support a piece other on the end or the middle . Adjustment screws 120 deg apart. Three of them

27
Q

follower rest

A

keeps a work piece from deflecting away from the cutting tool Only two rests

28
Q

Taper Attachment

A

allows the lathe to cut a taper by causing the carriage and cross slide to move at the same time

29
Q

Tool post grinder

A

is a wheel and motor that attach to the compound rest . The abrasive grit damage the ways if not protected with a board .

30
Q

Knurling tool

A

does not cut metal but displaces it
Flush area with coolant to wash away any fine shavings.
Low spindle speed high feed rate

31
Q

Tapers head stock spindle

A

Morse taper holder

Q

Cemented carbide

A

pieces of carbide soldered onto a steel shank

37
Q

sharpening HSS tool

A

Use aluminum oxide Gray wheel
Remember to quench often not to over heat the steel

38
Q

Sharpening cemented carbide

A

Use aluminum oxide to grind away supporting steel and use silicon carbide to sharpen carbide

39
Q

carriage oil pump

A

Lubricates the carriage ways

40
Q

why not use compressed air

A

can potentially force chips into areas that can not be cleaned

41
Q

Spindle speed

A

Spindle speed is set to the correct cutting speed

42
Q

Cutting speed

A

the speed the the workpiece moves past the cutting tool measured in rpm

43
Q

Feed rate

A

the rate at which the tool is fed into the workpiece
measured in inch or millimeter per revolution

Q

Direct reading dial

A

the cut is the same as the dial indicated

45
Q

indirect reading dial

A

the cut is twice the increment shown

46
Q

parting

A

must be done as close to the chuck as possible
Set the tool with as little as possible over hang

47
Q

boring

A

a hole must be drilled fist to accommodate the boring bar

48
Q

reaming

A

spindle half the speed of drilling but twice the feed of drilling
