In the video we discuss that a standard lathe has 2 axis. What axis is is active when the turret moves left to right?

• A-axis

• Y-axis

• Z-axis

• X-axis

In the video we discuss the movement of the turret in the up and down direction. What axis is this

• Z-axis

• A-axis

• X-axis

• Y-axis

The machine coordinate system defines where the axis can move and how we measure how far the axis have moved

• True

• False

Home position for the Z-axis on a lathe is when the turret is positioned with:

• None of the answers

• The Z axis moved to the left side, closest to the spindle

• The Z axis moved to the right furthest away from the spindle.

• The X axis at the furthest up position away from the operator.

Home position for the X axis on a lathe is where the turret is in which position?

• X axis moved to the bottom position

• With the x axis moved to its lowest position

• None of the above?

• With the X axis furthest up away from the operator

The work coordinate system defines the important starting points for the workpiece loaded into the machine.

• True

• False

In a CNC lathe the cutting tools are stored in

• in the tool box

• in the tool turret

• In a tool tray next to the machine

• In the spindle

The function of the tool offset page is

• To tell the machine where the cutting tool is in relation to the workpiece

• To tell the machine the speed to go

• none of these

• to tell the machine what parts to make

To set the X axis offset you would

1 - Take a skim

2 - move the tool away

3 - Measure the size you cut

4 - Which button do i press here?

• Z face measure button

• +Z rapid button

• X diameter button

• Offset button

Once you have set the X-axis the control will ask you to record the size, is this correct?

• Yes

• No
