Chapter 18 MACHINING OPERATIONS AND MACHINE TOOLS

Multiple Choice Questions
There are 39 correct answers in this multiple choice quiz (some questions have multiple answers
that are correct). To achieve a perfect score on the quiz, all correct answers must be given. Each
correct answer is worth 1 point. Each omitted answer or wrong answer reduces the score by 1
point. Percentage score on the quiz is based on the total number of correct answers.
18.1

Machined parts can be classified as rotational or nonrotational. Which of the following are
examples of operations that create nonrotational geometries (two best answers): (a) boring,
(b) drilling, (c) milling, (d) planing, and (e) turning?

18.2

Which of the following are examples of generating the workpart geometry in machining, as
opposed to forming the geometry (two best answers): (a) broaching, (b) contour turning, (c)
drilling, (d) profile milling, and (e) thread cutting?

18.3

In a turning operation, the change in diameter of the workpart is equal to which one of the
following: (a) 1 x depth of cut, (b) 2 x depth of cut, (c) 1 x feed, or (d) 2 x feed?

18.4

A lathe can be used to perform which of the following machining operations (three correct
answers): (a) boring, (b) broaching, (c) drilling, (d) milling, (e) planing, and (f) turning?

chucking machine, (b) engine lathe, (c) screw machine, (d) speed lathe, or (e) turret lathe?
18.11 Most vertical boring machines are equipped for both turning and boring and are used for
large, heavy work parts with large diameters: (a) true or (b) false?
18.12 The twist drill is the most common type of drill bit: (a) true or (b) false?
18.13 When the drill bit in a drilling operation exits the opposite side of the work, the resulting
hole is called which one of the following: (a) a blind hole or (b) a through hole?
