Machine Tools Questions and Answers – Metal Working and Cutting Tools

This set of Machine Tools Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Metal Working and Cutting Tools”.

1. In which operation, motion of job is rotary and motion of cutting tool is forward translating?
a) turning
b) planning
c) milling
d) all of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Turning is done when motion of job is rotary and motion of cutting tool is forward translating. In turning operation, metal is removed from the outer diameter of the surface. It is very basic operation.

2. Which type of job motion is there in drilling operation?
a) rotary
b) translating
c) fixed
d) none of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: Motion of job is fixed in drilling operation. The drilling machine is one of the most important machine tool in workshop after lathe.

3. In which type of operation, motion of cutting tool is translating?
a) drilling and milling
b) milling and turning
c) boring and drilling
d) turning and planning
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: Motion of cutting tool is translating in case of boring and milling. Boring is generally performed to enlarge the holes which are previously made and milling is generally performed to remove the material from the metal.

4. In which type of operation, motion of cutting tool is rotary as well as translating?
a) planning
b) milling
c) drilling
d) turning
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: In drilling, both type of motion of cutting tool is necessary. For drilling, the drill is rotated with a downward pressure causing the tool to penetrate into the material.

8. Which of the following is the example of multi point cutting tool?
a) milling cutter
b) broaching tool
c) both milling utter and broaching tool
d) none of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: Milling cutter and broaching tools use multi point cutting tool to perform their operations. In milling, material is removed as the work is fed against a rotating multipoint cutter. Broaching also remove material but high accuracy. Although its cost is high, it is largely used.
