Which of the following is NOT a common metalworking process?

  1. Milling

  2. Turning

  3. Welding

  4. Casting


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Casting is a metalworking process that involves pouring molten metal into a mold to create a desired shape. It is distinct from machining processes such as milling and turning, which involve removing material from a workpiece to achieve the desired shape.

What is the primary purpose of a lathe in metal machining?

  1. Cutting

  2. Drilling

  3. Grinding

  4. Shaping


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A lathe is a machine tool used for shaping metal workpieces by rotating them while a cutting tool is fed into the workpiece to remove material and create the desired shape.

Which cutting tool is used for creating threads on a workpiece?

  1. Drill bit

  2. Milling cutter

  3. Reamer

  4. Tap


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A tap is a cutting tool used to create threads on the inside of a hole in a workpiece. It has a tapered shape with cutting teeth and is rotated while being fed into the hole to cut the threads.

What is the term used to describe the process of removing excess material from a workpiece using a grinding wheel?

  1. Milling

  2. Turning

  3. Grinding

  4. Polishing


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Grinding is a metalworking process that involves using a rotating abrasive wheel to remove excess material from a workpiece. It is commonly used to achieve a smooth surface finish or to remove burrs and sharp edges.

Which of the following is NOT a common type of milling machine?

  1. Vertical milling machine

  2. Horizontal milling machine

  3. CNC milling machine

  4. Lathe


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A lathe is a machine tool used for shaping metal workpieces by rotating them while a cutting tool is fed into the workpiece. It is distinct from milling machines, which use rotating cutters to remove material from a workpiece.

What is the purpose of using a coolant in metal machining?

  1. To lubricate the cutting tool

  2. To cool the workpiece

  3. To remove chips and debris

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A coolant in metal machining serves multiple purposes. It lubricates the cutting tool to reduce friction and wear, cools the workpiece to prevent overheating, and removes chips and debris from the cutting zone to ensure a clean and efficient machining process.

Which of the following is NOT a common type of drill bit?

  1. Twist drill bit

  2. Spade drill bit

  3. Forstner bit

  4. End mill


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

An end mill is a cutting tool used in milling machines to remove material from a workpiece. It is distinct from drill bits, which are used to create holes in a workpiece.

What is the term used to describe the process of cutting a groove or slot in a workpiece using a rotating cutter?

  1. Milling

  2. Turning

  3. Drilling

  4. Reaming


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Milling is a metalworking process that involves using a rotating cutter to remove material from a workpiece. It is commonly used to create grooves, slots, and other features in a workpiece.

Which of the following is NOT a common type of lathe operation?

  1. Facing

  2. Turning

  3. Drilling

  4. Milling


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Milling is a metalworking process that involves using a rotating cutter to remove material from a workpiece. It is distinct from lathe operations, which involve using a cutting tool to shape a workpiece while it is rotating.

What is the term used to describe the process of enlarging an existing hole in a workpiece using a cutting tool?

  1. Drilling

  2. Reaming

  3. Boring

  4. Tapping


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Reaming is a metalworking process that involves using a cutting tool to enlarge an existing hole in a workpiece to achieve a precise diameter and smooth surface finish.

Which of the following is NOT a common type of metalworking fluid?

  1. Cutting oil

  2. Coolant

  3. Lubricant

  4. Water


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Water is not typically used as a metalworking fluid on its own due to its limited lubricating and cooling properties. Cutting oil, coolant, and lubricant are all common types of metalworking fluids used to improve the machining process.

What is the term used to describe the process of removing burrs and sharp edges from a workpiece using a rotating abrasive tool?

  1. Grinding

  2. Polishing

  3. Deburring

  4. Finishing


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Deburring is a metalworking process that involves using a rotating abrasive tool to remove burrs and sharp edges from a workpiece, resulting in a smooth and clean surface.

Which of the following is NOT a common type of cutting tool material?

  1. High-speed steel

  2. Carbide

  3. Ceramic

  4. Diamond


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Diamond is not a common cutting tool material due to its high cost and brittleness. High-speed steel, carbide, and ceramic are all common types of cutting tool materials used in metal machining.

What is the term used to describe the process of cutting a workpiece into two or more pieces using a saw?

  1. Milling

  2. Turning

  3. Sawing

  4. Drilling


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Sawing is a metalworking process that involves using a saw to cut a workpiece into two or more pieces. It is commonly used to cut large or thick workpieces.

Which of the following is NOT a common type of lathe chuck?

  1. Three-jaw chuck

  2. Four-jaw chuck

  3. Collet chuck

  4. Magnetic chuck


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A magnetic chuck is not a common type of lathe chuck. Three-jaw chuck, four-jaw chuck, and collet chuck are all common types of lathe chucks used to hold workpieces in place during machining.
