Intro to Lathe

Question 1*
What PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) is required for working on the lathe?
- Gloves
- Safety Glasses
- Face Shield
- Steel toe boots
Question 2*
Turning is defined as:
- Taking material off the face of the work piece
- Reducing the outer diameter of the work piece
- Cutting grooves into the work piece
- Increasing the inner diameter of the work piece
Question 3*
Facing is defined as:
- Taking material off the face of the work piece
- Reducing the outer diameter of the work piece
- Cutting grooves into the work piece
- Increasing the inner diameter of the work piece
Question 4*
Boring is defined as:
- Taking material off the face of the work piece
- Reducing the outer diameter of the work piece
- Cutting grooves into the work piece
- Increasing the inner diameter of the work piece
Question 5*
To drill a hole in the work piece, the operator will:
- Leave the tailstock unlocked and push the tailstock with the desired drill size into the rotating work piece
- Lock the tailstock with the desired drill bit about 1 in away from the work piece. Then the operator will turn on the spindle and use the hand wheel on the tail stock to feed the drill into the work piece
- Lock the tailstock with the desired drill bit touching the work piece. Then the operator will turn on the spindle and use the hand wheel on the tail stock to feed the drill into the work piece
- Leave the tailstock unlocked with the desired drill bit about 1 in away from the work piece. Then the operator will turn on the spindle and use the hand wheel on the tail stock to feed the drill into the work piece
Question 6*
For a belt driven lathe, the operator changes spindle speed:
- Only when the motor is running
- Only when the motor is off
- Anytime
- Only when feeds are engaged
Question 7*
The carriage moves along the:
- X-Axis
- Y-Axis
- Z-Axis
- X-Y Plane
Question 8*
What is a chuck used for?
- Holding drill chucks securely
- Feeding a part across the Y-Z plane
- Holding tooling to cut stationary work piece
- Holding work pieces securely
Question 9*
What does indexable imply for lathe tooling?
- The cutting bits can be rotated to a specified angle to achieve a specified rake and chip ejection
- The cutting bits can be referenced in an inventory, which specifies their location and use in the facility
- The cutting bits can be rotated to their other cutting edge when one edge gets dull
- The cutting bits only have one good edge and are thrown out and replaced after one edge is dulled
Question 10*
How many diameters of the work piece can stick out of the chuck before needing to use a tailstock support?
- 2 diameters
- 5 diameters
- 10 diameters
- 15 diameters
