Question Answer
The three hand taps found in a set are the: Taper tap Plug tap Bottoming tap
Briefly explain the method of removing a broken tap using a tap extractor. A wrench is fitted to the extractor and turned counterclockwise to remove a right hand tap.
Serial taps of the same nominal size: have different pitch diameters but the same pitch. they are used to tap difficult material and used in sets of 3 taps increasing in size. 1 is the smallest diameter 2 has a larger diameter than 1 3 is the finished diameter
You have to choose between four steel rods to cut a 1/2-13 UNC 2A thread with an adjustable split die. Which diameter rod would you use? 0.497" undersize to allow for clearance in the tapped hole
A die is turned with a: die stock
The purpose of draw filing is to: produce a smooth flat surface
The most suitable chisel for cutting oil grooves is the: round nosed chisel
All-hard hacksaw blades are used on: large pieces of brass
The length of the taper on the end of a hand reamer: roughly the same as the reamer's cutting diameter
The cutting action of a hand broach is performed by a series of successive teeth, each protruding: 0.003" further out than the tooth in front of it
Hand reamers must be rotated: in a clockwise rotation
The width of the saw blade cut in the workpiece is called: kerf
The reason for the crown on the end of a flat scraper: so the outside edges don't dig into the finished piece
In the lapping process, which is charged: the lap is charged with lapping compound
What is the tap drill size for a 3/4-10 UNC 2B diameter-pitch 0.75-(1/10)=0.65 21/32" (0.6563)
Describe the the solid, or all-hard, hacksaw blade: -hardened throughout and very brittle - used on brass, tool, steel, cast iron, and larger sections of mild steel. -do not run out of line when pressure is applied
Describe the flexible hacksaw blade: -used on channel iron, tubing, copper, and aluminum since they don't break as easily on material with thin cross sections.
What pitch hacksaw blade should be selected to cut tool steel? 18 teeth
What pitch hacksaw should be selected to cut thin wall tubing? 32 teeth
What pitch hacksaw blade should be selected to cut angle iron and copper? 24 teeth
What procedure is recommended is a saw blade breaks or becomes dull in a partially finished cut? - Replace the blade and rotate the work one half turn so that the old cut is at the bottom. A new blade will bind in an old cut and the set of the new teeth will be ruined quickly.
Describe and state the purpose of single-cut files. -single row or parallel teeth running diagonally across the face -include mill, long-angle lathe, and saw files -used when a smooth finish is desired, or for hard materials
Describe and state the purpose of Double-cut files. -have two intersecting rows of teeth: first row is coarser and called the overcut, other row is called the upcut -hundreds of cutting teeth provide for fast removal of metal and clearing chips
Name the most commonly used degrees of coarseness in which files are manufactured. Most commonly used are the bastard, second cut, and smooth
List four important aspects of file care. -do not store files where they will rub together -Never use a file as a pry or a hammer, can cause eye injury -Do not knock a file on a vise or other metallic object to clean it. Use file cards. -Apply pressure only on the forward stroke when filing. Pressure on the return stroke will dull it. -Do not press too hard on new file
How can pinning of a file be kept to a minimum? Too much pressure results in pinning, which causes scratches. Keep file clean and push brass, copper or wood through the teeth to remove pins -Applying chalk to face of the file will lessen the pinning
Describe and state the purpose of long-angle lathe files. -used for filing on a lathe because they provide better shearing action than mill files. -Long angle of the teeth helps clean the file, eliminates chatter, and reduces possibility pf tearing the metal
Describe and state the purpose of Aluminium files. -designed for soft, ductile metals -modified teeth reduces clogging -upcut tooth is deep and overcut is fine
Describe and state the purpose of shear tooth files. -combine a long angle and a single-cut coarse tooth for filing materials such as brass, aluminium, copper plastics, and hard rubber
Describe and state the purpose of Swiss pattern files. -small files with fine tooth cuts -used in tool and die shops
Describe and state the purpose of Die sinker rifflers. -curved up at the ends to permit filing the bottom surface of a die cavity
Compare rotary files and ground burrs. Rotary files: cut and form broken lines, dissipate the the heat of friction, good for tough die steels, forgings, and scaly surfaces Ground burrs: made of high speed steel or carbide, uniform flutes, used for non-ferrous metals such as aluminium, brass, magnesium, since better chip clearance.
List three important considerations in the rotary files or ground burrs. -Move file or burr at even rate to produce a smooth surface. Uneven pressure makes ridges, hollows -Use proper speed as recommended by manufacturer -Use only sharp burrs or files
Name, describe, and state the purpose of the three taps in a set Taper tap - tapered from the end. used to start a thread easily. used to tap a hole that goes through the work. Plug tap - tapered for approx 3 threads. Bottoming tap - not tapered but chamfered at the end for one thread. When tapping a blind hole use a tapered tap them a bottoming tap.
Define tap drill size The drill size that will leave the proper amount on material in the hole for a tap to cut a thread.
Use the formula and calculate the tap drill size for: 1/2"-13 UNC tap formula TDS = D - 1/TPI 0.5-(1/13)=0.423"
Use the formula and calculate the tap drill size for: M 42 - 4.5 mm tap Formula TDS = D - Pitch 42mm - 4.5mm = 37.5mm
Why should care be used when a hole is being tapped? Because a tap is hard and brittle and can break easily.
Explain the procedure for correcting a tap that has not started squarely. Remove the tap from the hole and restart by applying pressure in the direction from which the tap leans.
Briefly outline the procedure for tapping a blind hole. Use all three taps in order. Taper, plug, then bottoming.
For what purpose are threading dies used? used to cut external threads.
State the purpose of the adjustable split die and the solid die. solid die - used for chasing or recutting damaged threads. adjustable split die - permits adjustment over or under the standard depth of thread.
Explain the procedure for starting a die on the work - chamfer the end of workpiece - lubricate tapered end of die - place tapered end of die on workpiece - press down and tirn clockwise several turns - check if it has started squarely - turn die forward one turn and reverse approx one half to beak the chip - apply cutting fluid frequently
What procedure should be followed when it is necessary to cut a thread to a shoulder? remove the die and restart with the tapered side of the die facing up
