1 In oblique cutting of metals, the cutting edge of the tool is

Perpendicular to the workpiece Perpendicular to the direction of tool travel
Parallel to the direction of tool travel Inclined at an angle less than 90° to the direction of tool travel
2 The grooving is an operation of
Beveling the extreme end of a workpiece Embossing a diamond shaped pattern on the surface of a w/p
Enlarging the end of a hole cylindrically Reducing the diameter of a w/p over a very narrow surface
3 In metal cutting operations, the shear angle is the angle made by the shear plane with the
Direction of the tool axis Direction of tool travel
Perpendicular to the direction of the tool axis Central plane of the workpiece
4 The tool may fail due to
Chipping of the cutting edge Cracking at the cutting edge due to thermal stresses
Plastic deformation of the cutting edge All of these
5 In metal machining, the zone where the maximum heat is generated due to the plastic deformation of metal, is
Friction zone Work-tool contact zone
Shear zone None of these
6 Chip breakers are used to
Increase tool life Remove chips from bed
To minimize heat generation Break the chips into short segments
7 In order to prevent tool from rubbing the work _________ on tools are provided
Rake angles Relief angles
Face angles None of these

17 Which type of chuck is used for self alignment?
Magnetic chuck Three jaw chuck
Four jaw chuck None of these
18 The point at which the cutting tool reaches, beyond which it will not function satisfactorily until it is reground,
is called as
tool wear tool failure
too diffusion none of the above
19 In the metal cutting process, when the compression limit of the metal in front of the cutting tool has been
exceeded then it is separated from workpiece and flows
elastically plastically
rigidly none of the above
20 Which type of chips form while machining of brittle materials?
continuous chips discontinuous chips
Built-up chips all of the above
