Q

When is a Tailstock used?

A

It is usually used to apply support to the longitudinal rotary axis of a workpiece being machined. It is also used on a lathe to hold drilling or reaming tools for machining a hole in the workpiece. Also, tapping and tapper cut.

Q

What is a Brazed Carbide insert tooling?

A

One form of insert tooling is a brazed carbide tool. These tools have a carbide cutting blank affixed to a steel shank by brazing.

17
Q

Traits of a Indexable Insert?

A

Held in the holder by cam action or clamps

Types available
– Conventional
– Turret-type
– Heavy-duty tool-posts

Inserts are usually mounted on seats that fit within pockets in the end of the toolholder.

Inserts are classified by their shape.

18
Q

What are 3 types of Cutting-tool-holding devices?

A
  1. Left-Hand Offset Tool holder
  2. Right-Hand Offset Toolholder
  3. Straight Toolholder
19
Q

Traits of Left-Hand Offset Tool holder?

A
  • Offset to the right
  • Designed for machining work close to chuck and cutting left to right
  • Designated by letter L

(left hand thumb direction indicates tool feed direction).

(away from chuck)

20
Q

Traits of Right-Hand Offset Toolholder?

A
  • Offset to the left
  • Designed for machining work close to the tailstock and cutting right to left
    – Also, for facing operations
  • Designated by letter R

(right hand
thumb direction indicates tool feed direction).

(towards chuck)

21
Q

Traits of Straight Toolholder?

A
  • General-purpose type
  • Used for taking cuts in either direction and for general machining operations
22
Q

Traits of Cutting-Off (Parting) Tools?

A
  • Used when work must be grooved or parted off
  • Long, thin cutting-off blade locked securely in tool holder by either cam lock or locking nut
  • Three types of parting tool-holders
    – Left-hand
    – Right-hand
    – Straight
23
Q

Traits of Threading Tool-holder?

A
  • Designed to hold the special form-relieved thread-cutting tool
  • Has accurately ground 60º angle
    – Maintained throughout the life of the tool
  • Only the top of the cutting surface sharpened when becomes dull
24
Q

What is a Chuck?

A

Used extensively for holding work for machining operations - Work large or unusual shape

25
Q

What are the 2 most commonly used Lathe Chucks?

A
  1. Three-jaw universal
  2. Four-jaw independent
26
Q

What are the uses of a Lathe Center?

A

Work to be turned between centers must have center hole drilled in each end.
– Provides bearing surface

Support during cutting

Most common have solid Morse taper shank 60º centers, steel with carbide tips.

27
Q

What is a Steady Rest?
When is it needed?

A

A steady rest is basically a heavy and rigid ring a fixed to the bed ways of a lathe or turning center.

It stands stationary from a rigid mounting on the bed, and it supports the workpiece at the rest’s center, typically with three contact points 120° apart.

Steady rests are needed when the length and stiffness of a workpiece makes it difficult to machine without distorting or deflecting the part.

28
Q

Define Lathe Operation :

Turning

A

A cutting operation in which single point cutting tool removes material from a rotating work-piece to generate a cylinder

29
Q

Define Lathe Operation :

Facing

A

The tool is fed radially inward- An operation of reducing the length/thickness of stock

30
Q

Define Lathe Operation :

Form Cutting

A

The tool has a certain shape that is imparted on the workpiece by feeding the tooling radially

31
Q

Define Lathe Operation :

Taper Turning

A

Instead of feeding the tool parallel to the axis of rotation, the tool is fed at an angle thus creating a tapered rotational shape

32
Q

Define Lathe Operation :

Contour Turning

A

Instead of feeding the tool parallel to the axis of rotation, the tool follows a contour that is other than straight, thus creating a contoured shape

33
Q

Define Lathe Operation :

Parting off

A

The tool is fed radially into rotating work at some location to cut off the end of part

34
Q

Define Lathe Operation :

Drilling

A

Drilling is an operation of making a hole. The drill (multi-point cutting tool) is fed parallel to the axis of rotation.

35
Q

Define Lathe Operation :

Thread Cutting

A

The pointed form tool is fed linearly across the surface of the rotating work part parallel to the axis of rotation at a large feed rate, thus creating threads

36
Q

Define Lathe Operation :

Boring

A

A single-point tool is fed linearly, parallel to the axis of rotation, on the inside diameter of an existing hole in the part. The purpose of boring is to enlarge the size of an existing hole

37
Q

Define Lathe Operation :

Reaming

A

Reaming is an operation of making a drilled hole accurate and clean.

38
Q

Define Lathe Operation :

Knurling

A

This is an operation in which a regular cross-hatched pattern is imparted on the workpiece. This pattern facilitates holding a part. Knurling is not a machining operation, as no cutting takes place. Instead, it is a metal forming operation done in lathe machine

39
Q

Define Lathe Operation :

Chamfering

A

The cutting edge cuts an angle on the corner of the cylinder, forming a “chamfer”
