Answer 1: RMS

Answer 2: Brinell

Answer 3: SFM

Answer 4: Cutting Speed

Correct Answer: Brinell

Question 2:

True or False: With all other things being equal, a smaller nose radius will give you a
better surface finish.

Answer 1: True

Answer 2: False

Correct Answer: False

Question 3:

True or False: As the hardness BHN number increases the cutting speed decreases.

Answer 1: True
Answer 2: False

Correct Answer: True

Question 4: The ______ of the cutting tool will affect the cutting speed.

Answer 1: shape

Answer 2: grade

Answer 3: thickness

Answer 4: all of the above

Correct Answer: grade

Question 5:

If you experience built of edge on the cutting tool, the appropriate action would be:

Answer 1: decrease the cutting speed

Answer 2: increase the cutting speed

Answer 3: decrease the feed

Answer 4: none of the above

Correct Answer: increase the cutting speed

Question 6: If you experience an excessive amount of edge wear on the cutting tool, the
appropriate action would be:

Answer 1:

increase the feed

Answer 2:

reduce the speed

Answer 3:

increase the speed

Answer 4:

both increase the feed and reduce the speed

Correct Answer:

both increase the feed and reduce the speed

Question 7:

In finishing operations the feed rate is established primarily:

Answer 1: to maximize metal removal

Answer 2: to maximize chip load
