Module 18: Lathe Cutting Tools (Core)
Outcome
Investigate the safe and efficient use of lathe cutting tools.
Indicators
(a) Demonstrate safe practices when working with lathe cutting tools.
(b) Identify cutting tool geometry (e.g., clearance and rake angles).
(c) Describe the different styles (e.g., indexable inserts and high-speed steel tool forms) and types of cutting tool materials (e.g., carbide, high-speed steel and ceramic).
(d) Demonstrate proper sharpening of high-speed steel cutting tools (e.g., turning, roughing, finishing, threading and grooving).
(e) Demonstrate proper mounting of a cutting tool in a tool post.
(f) Critique the efficiency of ground tools on different materials.
