The safest way to remove chips from a lathe or milling machine is to use a: - ANS- brush
Small chips left out on the spindle nose of a 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 Miller 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- 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 the file is to use - ANS- file card
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
A reaming operation produces finish tears. The cause of the tears is: - ANS- Insufficient
stock allowance
What is the gage block height for an angle of 9 degrees on a 10-inch sine plate? - ANS-
1.5643 inches
, Which of the following combinations of a gage blocks (from an 81-block set) can be used
to gage a length of 0.9528 inches - ANS- 0.1008, 0.102, 0.750
The process of displacing air between gage blocks for accurate measurements is called -
ANS- wringing
To check the height of multiple parts with gage blocks, a machinist would use a - ANS-
Dial indicator and digital height gage
Surface finish is checked with: - ANS- Comparison charts
A surface finish symbol is as follows - ANS- The surface finish is 15 micro inches
What is the most common type of surface finish callout - ANS- roughness
A part is considered a reject when: - ANS- Dimensions are out of tolerance
A sampling is referred to as a: - ANS- Samples taken from a machine over a period of
time
Inspection plans are needed to: - ANS- all of the above
The first thing to do when constructing an inspection plan is to - ANS- Select the critical
and important dimensions to inspect
The most important factor in selecting measuring tools for inspection is - ANS-
Tolerancing of dimensions to inspect
Sampling plans contribute to a quality control process by: - ANS- Providing an
acceptable representation of all the parts produced
What feature of a thread is checked with a thread micrometer? - ANS- Pitch diameter
Dial bore gages are used to measure: - ANS- holes
To indicate an angled surface and make that surface parallel to a surface plate, the
machinist would use a - ANS- Sine plate
What sizes of gage pins would a machinist need for a dimension of 3/32 ± 1/64th inches
for a go/no go gage setup (rounded to three places)? - ANS- 0.110/0.078
A measure of dispersion that uses the largest and smallest measurements of a sampling
is the - ANS- range
