TPC 323 Flashcards
In what turning process does the reduced finished diameter always stay the same along the total length of the workpiece?
Straight turning
What is the purpose of a relief cut?
To ensure the grinding tool can advance right up to the square face of the larger diameter
What method is more accurate than the set over method?
The compound rest method, it is most often used for tapers larger than three inches/foot
How would you hold a shorter workpiece in a Lathe?
Generally hold shorter workpieces in a chuck, in a collet, or mounted on a mandrel for facing
When facing the ends of work mounted between centers what do you use?
Use a half-center mounted in the tailstock when facing the ends of work, this allows the cutting tool to be fed right up to the center hole in the work
Why do you always use the same setup used for primary boring operations in counterboring operations?
This ensures concentricity of the bored and counterbored holes
If the size and shape of a workpiece preclude mounting in a lathe, boring must be done on a?
Horizontal boring mill
When boring a short, steep taper in a workpiece what method is used?
Compound rest method for boring tapers
What is the most accurate method for boring tapered holes?
Using the taper attachment on a lathe
What controls the shape of the threads to be cut?
The profile of the cutting tool
What is the most common way to setup a drill in a lathe?
It is to mount the drill in the tailstock quill
If you are required to drill a long hole or if the workpiece is bulky and cumbersome you should mount the drill in the?
Lathe headstock
What is a more accurate method of drilling in a lathe?
Drilling with the drill held stationary
When is the “sensitive” drill pressed used?
When drilling holes where a great deal of accuracy is not required
If a job requires you to drill holes in a work piece that is too large for an upright drill press, you should use a?
Radial drill press
Spot facing is very similar to counterboring, the major difference being?
The amount of metal being removed, in spot facing only a small amount of metal is removed
To bore in a drill press you do what?
Install a boring bar in a boring head
What tool provides a way to get repeated accuracy in hole location and alignment?
Drill jigs
Can reaming be done by hand or on a drill press or lathe?
Yes
What happens during the honing process?
Fine abrasive stones contact the work surface and remove very small amounts of metal
