TPC 324 Lathe Turning Between Centers Flashcards
Always check the lathe bed to make sure it is
Attached
Level
Straight
All of the above
Level
Longer work pieces should be
Mounted between centers
Mounted in a chuck
Mounted on a faceplate
Any of the above
Mounted between centers
When installing a faceplate
Screw it on by hand
Screw it on using the lathes power
Tap it in place with a small mallet
Use the face plate tool attachment
Screw it on by hand
Always select a lathe dog
At least as long as the workpiece
Not larger than necessary to accept the workpiece
Slightly larger than necessary to accept the workpiece
That will bottom out in the faceplate
Not larger than necessary to accept the workpiece
When facing, use a half center to
Allow clearance for the cutting tool
Cut back on friction on the dead center
Help turn very long work pieces
Turn at very high speeds
Allow clearance for the cutting tool
Be sure the tail of the lathe dog
Bottoms out in the faceplate
Does not extend to the faceplate
Does not sit on the bottom of the faceplate
Extends beyond the heads stock
Does not sit on the bottom of the faceplate
Make sure the cutting tool
Does not hang out excessively from the tool holder
Does not protrude from the tool holder
Extends well beyond the tool holder
Is always at a 90° angle toward the workplace
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
All of the above
When moving the cutter into the workpiece during facing,
Always lightly strike the dead center
Be careful not to strike dead center
Do not loosen the carriage locking nut
Never use the hand cross feed
Be careful not to strike dead center
Always remember that your depth of cut will
Reduce the overall diameter by one half the amount of cut
Reduce the overall diameter by exactly the amount of cut
Reduce the overall diameter by twice the amount of cut
Reduce the overall diameter three times the amount of cut
Reduce the overall diameter by twice the amount of cut
Always use a right-hand tool when
Cutting left to right
Cutting right to left
Making a standard finishing cut
Shouldering
Cutting right to left
Depending on the hand of cut, the cutting tool point should be _____ degrees toward the headstock or tailstock
2 to 3
4 to 5
6 to 7
8 to 9
4 to 5
In rough turning, the cutter point should positioned _____ The centerline
4° below
5° above
5° below
Directly on
5° above
With a constant depth of cut
An increase in speed does not affect feed
An increase in speed requires a decrease in feed
An increase in speed requires an increase in feed
An increase in speed will double the feed
An increase in speed requires a decrease in feed
The most accurate way to test if adjustments are needed is
A finish cut
A rough cut
A trial cut
All of the above
A trial cut
When reversing work end for end between centers,
Do not use the lathe dog on the reserved operation
Increase the feed rate
Increase the speed rate
Protect the machine surface from the lathe dog
Protect the machine surface from the lathe dog
Always take your finishing cut
At twice the speed as the rough cut
In the opposite direction of the rough cut
In the same direction as the rough cut
With the same tool as the rough cut
In the same direction as the rough cut
When aligning the cutting tool for a finishing cut
Set the cutting tool above the center line of the work
Set the cutting tool below the centerline of the work
Set the micrometer collar at the desired depth of the cut
Set the micrometer collar at the desired diameter of the work
Set the cutting tool above the centerline of the work
A trial cut should be about
1/16 inch
1/4 inch
3/4 inch
1 inch
1/4 inch
When a shoulder is to be turned close to the end of the workpiece, use a scale and
Compass to measure its location
Dye to measure its location
Hermaphrodite caliper to measure location
Micrometer to measure its location
Hermaphrodite caliper to measure its location
