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. |
