NIMS Machining Level I Preparation Guide
The safest way to remove chips from a lathe or milling machine is to use a: - ANS- Brush
Small chips left on the spindle nose of the lathe should be cleaned to avoid: - ANS- Run
out on work holding devices
Grease guns are used to insert grease into: - ANS- Zerk fittings on machine tools
To lubricate the ways of a lathe, the gibs of a mill, or the cross slide of a grinder: - ANS-
Use lubricant found in central lubricating systems ("one shots")
If a vertical mill table is loose and has side play, the best solution to alleviate side play is
to: - ANS- Tighten the taper gib adjustment
A machinist wants to find the proper type of lubrication, schedule and recommended
maintenance practices for the headstock of a lathe. The best source to find this
information is: - ANS- Preventative maintenance schedule and machine manual
General maintenance information for machine tools and machine work area can be
found: - ANS- In a general maintenance manual
Pinning refers to: - ANS- Loading the file with metal chips
Files should be stored: - ANS- In a toolbox separated from each other
The best way to clean the chips out of a file is to use: - ANS- Chalk
What is the most common injury that may occur during a filing operation? - ANS- Being
stabbed with the tang (file without a handle)
The best lubricant to prevent wear and increase cutting efficiency for tapping common
steels is: - ANS- Sulfur-based oil
The process plan specifies tooling to be used by indicating: - ANS- Tooling diameters
and sizes
A reaming operation produces finish tears. The cause of the tears is: - ANS- A reamer
with a worn tip
