Section I / Unit 15 / Additional Thread Forms Self-Test Answers

1. Translating-type screws are mostly used for imparting motion or power and to position
mechanical parts.
2. Square, modified square, Acme, stub Acme, and Buttress are five basic translating thread
forms.
3. 3. Because the pitch for 4 TRI would be .250 in., the depth of thread would be P>2 =
.250>2 = .125 in.
4. 4. Because the pitch for 4 TPI would be .250 in., the depth of the Acme thread would be
.5P + .010 in., or .5 * .250 in. + .010 in. = .135 in.
5. 5. General-Purpose Acme threads bear on the flanks, and centralizing Acme threads bear
at the major diameter.
6. 6. 29 degrees.

7. The general use for stub Acme threads is where a coarse pitch thread with a shallow depth
is required.

8. The modified square thread.

9. The Acme thread form.

10. Buttress threads are used where great forces or pressures are exerted in one direction.

11. .375 in.

12. The distance from a point on one thread to a corresponding point on the next.

13. The distance the nut travels in one revolution.

14. Single lead.

15. Accurately slotted faceplate. Indexing a gear on the drive train. Using the thread-chasing
dial. The compound rest method.

16. They provide rapid traverse, are more efficient, have a larger minor diameter, are
stronger, and furnish more bearing surface area than a single thread.

17. Most kinds. Sharp-V, American National, Unified, metric, Buttress, square, and Acme can
be made multiple lead, in either right- or left-hand threads.

18. You can determine the number of leads by counting the number of starting grooves at the
end of a bolt or screw.

19. Roughing of coarse threads may move the tool slightly. If one thread has already been
finished, there is no more allowance for adjustment. Finishing both threads consecutively,
however, gives a much greater assurance that the setup will not move.

20. Lighter cuts should be taken to prevent tearing the threads.

Section I / Unit 14 / Using Steady and Follower Rests Self-Test Answers

1. When workpieces extend from the chuck more than four or five workpiece diameters and
are unsupported by a dead center; when workpieces are long and slender.

2. Because they are useful for supporting long workpieces, heavier cuts can be taken, or
operations such as turning, threading, and grooving may be performed without chattering.
Internal operations such as boring may be done on long workpieces.

3. The steady rest is placed near the tailstock end of the shaft, which is supported in a dead
center. The steady rest is clamped to the lathe bed, and the lower jaws are adjusted to the
shaft finger tight. The upper half of the frame is closed, and the top jaw is adjusted with some
clearance. The jaws are locked and lubricant is applied.

4. The jaws should be readjusted when the shaft heats up from friction, to avoid scoring. Also,
soft materials are sometimes used on the jaws to protect finishes.

5. A center punch mark is placed in the center of the end of the shaft. The lower two jaws on
the steady rest are adjusted until the center punch mark aligns with the point of the dead
center.

6. No.

7. No. When the surface is rough, a bearing spot must be turned for the steady rest jaws.

8. By using a cat head.

9. A follower rest.

10. The shaft is purposely made 1 or 2 in. longer, and an undercut is machined on the end to
clear the follower rest jaws

Section I / Unit 13 / Cutting Tapers Self-Test Answers

1. Steep tapers are quick-release tapers, and slight tapers are selfholding tapers.

2. Tapers are expressed in taper per foot, taper per inch, and by angles.

3. Tapers are turned by hand feeding the compound slide, by offsetting the tailstock and
turning between centers, or by using a taper attachment. A fourth method is to use a tool that
is set to the desired angle and form cut the taper.

4. No. The angle on the workpiece would be the included angle, which is twice that on the
compound setting. The angle on the compound swivel base is the angle with the work
centerline.

5. The reading at the lathe centerline index would be 55 degrees, which is the complementary
angle.

6. Offset = 10 * (1.125 - .75) 2 * 3 = 3.75 6 = .625 in. ecuacion revisar

7. Four methods of measuring tapers are using the plug and ring gages, using a micrometer on
layout lines, using a micrometer with precision parallels and drill rod on a surface plate, and
using a sine bar, gage block, and dial indicator.
8. The two types of taper attachments are the plain and the telescopic. Internal and external
and slight to fairly steep tapers can be made. Centers remain in line, and power feed is used
for good finishes.

9. The taper plug gage and the taper gage are the simplest and most practical means to check
a taper.

10. Chamfers, V-grooves, and short tapers may be made by the form tool method.

Section I / Unit 12 / Cutting Unified Internal Threads Self-Test Answers

1. The minor diameter of the thread.

2. By varying the bore size, usually larger than the minor diameter. This is done to make
tapping easier.

3. 75 percent.

4. By using a 1 16 -in. undersized drill and boring to the minor diameter.

5. Large internal threads of various forms can be made, and the threads are concentric to the
axis of the work.

6. To the left of the operator.

7. A screw pitch gage should be used.

8. Boring bar and tool deflection cause the threads to be undersize from the calculations and
settings on the micrometer collars.

9. The minor diameter equals D1P * .541 * 22. P = 1 8 in. = .125 in. D = 1 in. - (.125 * .541 * 2)
= .8648, or .865 in.

10. A thread plug gage, a shop-made plug gage, or the mating part.

9. The lead screw rotation is reversed, which causes the cut to be made from the left to the
right. The compound is set at 29 degrees to the left. The threading tool and lathe settings are
set up in the same way as for cutting right-hand threads.

10. Picking up the thread or resetting the tool is a procedure used to position a tool to existing
threads.
