What is the primary function of a lathe machine?

• Drilling holes in metal

• Removing metal in chip form to shape workpieces

• Polishing metal surfaces

• Welding metal pieces together

How is metal removed in a lathe machine?

• By applying heat and melting the surface

• By hammering the workpiece into shape

• By revolving the workpiece at specific speeds and feeding the cutting tool

• By spraying water to erode the metal

What is the function of the lathe machine legs/stands?

• To store extra tools

• To support the machine's weight and absorb shocks

• To control the speed of the spindle

• To hold the cutting tool in place

What material is typically used for lathe machine legs?

• Mild steel

• Aluminum

• Cast iron

• Plastic

How are the lathe machine legs secured?

• Using glue

• By welding to the floor

• Using foundation bolts

• With wooden blocks

What is the primary function of the chip tray in a lathe machine?

• To store lubricants

• To collect hot metal chips during machining

• To support the workpiece

• To cool down the spindle

Where is the chip tray located?

• Above the lathe bed

• Below the lathe bed

• Inside the headstock

• Next to the tailstock

What is the lathe bed primarily made of?

• Aluminum

• Plastic

• Semi-steel or chilled cast iron

• Mild steel

What is the function of the lathe bed?

• To house the chuck

• To guide the movement of the tailstock and carriage

• To support the cutting tool

• To store coolant

How are smaller lathe beds constructed?

• Using welded aluminum sheets

• As a single-piece casting
