Which part of the lathe holds and rotates the workpiece?
A
Tailstock B
Carriage C
Headstock D
Tool post
Analysis & Theory
The headstock contains the spindle that holds and rotates the work.
Turning is the process of:
A
Removing material from the end of the workpiece B
Enlarging an existing hole C
Reducing the diameter of the workpiece D
Cutting threads
Analysis & Theory
Turning removes material along the length to reduce diameter.
Which operation is used to produce a flat surface at the end of the workpiece?
A
Facing B
Knurling C
Drilling D
Boring
Analysis & Theory
Facing cuts across the end to make it flat and smooth.
The function of the tailstock is to:
A
Hold the cutting tool B
Support long workpieces and hold tools like drills C
Drive the workpiece rotation D
Guide the carriage movement
Analysis & Theory
The tailstock supports the free end and can hold drill chucks.
Thread cutting on a lathe is performed by:
A
Using a knurling tool B
Synchronizing tool movement with spindle rotation C
Rotating the tailstock center D
Using a form tool
Analysis & Theory
The tool advances precisely in sync with the spindle to cut threads.
Which of the following is NOT a common lathe operation?
A
Facing B
Turning C
Milling D
Knurling
Analysis & Theory
Milling is typically performed on a milling machine, not a lathe.
Knurling is done to:
A
Reduce diameter B
Create a decorative or gripping pattern on the surface C
Cut internal threads D
Produce a smooth surface finish
Analysis & Theory
Knurling impresses a pattern for grip or appearance.
What movement does the cross-slide on a lathe provide?
A
Longitudinal feed parallel to spindle axis B
Transverse feed perpendicular to spindle axis C
Rotational feed around the workpiece D
Angular feed for taper turning
Analysis & Theory
The cross-slide moves the tool in and out from the center of rotation.
Boring is the process of:
A
Enlarging an existing hole B
Cutting external threads C
Creating a stepped shaft D
Making a conical surface
Analysis & Theory
Boring enlarges or finishes an internal cylindrical surface.
The component that slides along the bed and carries the cutting tool is called the:
A
Tailstock B
Headstock C
Carriage D
Chuck
Analysis & Theory
The carriage moves longitudinally to carry the tool along the workpiece.
