Understanding Lathe Machine (Module 3)

What is the name of part marked as 'X' in the cone pulley head stock ?

• back gear

• head-stock cone pulley

• head-stock Bull gear

• pinion

What is the function of the headstock in a lathe machine?

• The headstock holds the workpiece and provides rotational motion.

• The headstock controls the speed of the tool feed.

• The headstock supports the lathe bed.

• The headstock is used for cutting materials.

What is the purpose of the tailstock in a lathe machine?

• To support the workpiece and hold tools.

• To cool the tools during operation

• To measure the diameter of the workpiece

• To increase the speed of the lathe

What is the role of the carriage in a lathe machine?

• The carriage serves as a storage compartment for tools.

• The carriage holds and moves the cutting tool and workpiece, allowing for precise machining.

• The carriage is responsible for cooling the workpiece during machining.

• The carriage is used to power the lathe motor.

what is “𝛾" (Gamma) angle as shown in fig. ?

• clearance angle

• back rake angle

• side rake angle

• lip angle

What type of lathe machine is typically used for woodworking?

• wood lathe

• ceramic lathe

• metal lathe

• plastic lathe

Explain the first step in the lathing process.

• Select the cutting tool to be used.

• Adjust the speed of the lathe.

• Measure the dimensions of the workpiece.

• Securely mount the workpiece onto the lathe.

What is the significance of the spindle in a lathe machine?

• The spindle is used to cut the workpiece into shape.

• The spindle supports the lathe bed for stability.

• The spindle controls the speed of the lathe's motor.

• The spindle holds and rotates the workpiece in a lathe machine.

Identify a common material that can be machined using a lathe machine.

• Plastic

What is the difference between a manual and a CNC lathe machine?

• A manual lathe uses electricity while a CNC lathe does not.

• The main difference is that a manual lathe is operated by hand, while a CNC lathe is automated and controlled by computer programming.

• Manual lathes are faster than CNC lathes in production.

• CNC lathes are only used for small parts, while manual lathes can handle larger pieces.
