Catalog Description:
60B – Machine Tool Technology II
(May be repeated 3 times)
4 units
Continuation of Machine Tool Technology 60A. Theory and laboratory practice relating to advanced
lathe and milling machine operations, gear cutting, steel and heat treating, basic surface and
cylindrical grinding, and introduction to metric measurement. Emphasis on correct machine tool
setups and quality of project work are stressed. Prerequisite: Machine Tool Technology 60A
(completed with a grade of “C” or higher). Strongly recommended: Industrial Technology 74.
2 hours lecture, 6 hours laboratory.
[Typical contact hours: lecture 35, laboratory 105]
Expected Outcomes for Students:
Upon completion of the course, the student should be able to:
1. set up and perform advanced lathe operations, such as taper turning, boring, internal threading,
and form tool operations;
2. use basic milling machine attachments for indexing rotary table operations, precision boring, and
gear cutting;
3. set up and perform basic surface and cylindrical grinding operations;
4. convert English measurements to metric measurements;
5. use metric measuring tools, such as metric micrometers and calipers;
6. carburize and harden low carbon steel and heat treat oil hardening tool steel.
