Question

1. Which component of lathes provides motion to a workpiece?

Quill

Carriage

Cross slide

Spindle

Tailstock

2. A belt pulley is cast and needs machining (search the Internet if you do not know how it looks like). The hub has draft angles (it has conical shape), and has short length – that means it is very inconvenient for holding. The hole is already machined. The next operation is turning of the outer surface which will be in contact with the belt. The outside surface should be concentric with the hole, as well as smooth and continuous, without any marks. What workholding would be best suited to fix this pulley on the lathe?

Faceplate

Collet

Mandrel

Chuck

Dog with a dogplate

3. A workpiece is fixed in the lathe between two live centers, one center being in the spindle and another in the tailstock quill. What is used in this situation to transfer the torque from the spindle to the workpiece?

Collet

Chuck

Faceplate

Dog with a dogplate

Mandrel

4.

Which method of workholding on the spindle provides the smallest runout?

Faceplate

Live center with dog

Collet

Three-jaw chuck

Live center

a.

Quill

b.

Carriage

c.

Cross slide

d.

Spindle

e.

Tailstock

Explanation / Answer

1. Spindle provides motion to a workpiece. the workpiece is attached to spindle using a 3jaw chuck or 4 jaw chuck.

2. face plate is best used for holding the belt pully.

3. chuck will be in between spindle and workpiece, hence it transfers the torque.

4.3 jaw chuck provides smallest run out
