Knowledge
Level(s):
Essential
Question(s):
Students will:
2. Demonstrate engine lathe operations, including mounting the chuck on the lathe, indicating the round stock in an
independent jaw chuck, indicating the square stock in an independent jaw chuck, sharpening the lathe tool bit,
centering or positioning cutting tools, face cutting a work piece, turning multiple diameters, center drilling a work
piece, demonstrating angle cuts, knurling a work piece, threading a work piece, calculating speed and feed per
material, and tooling.
Examples: threading a work piece—chasing right and left hand external threads,
manually tapping a hole, countersinking a hole, drilling a hole, picking
up lead on existing threads
3. Demonstrate the ability to turn stock to specifications using a variety of methods and materials related to lathe
operations.
Students will:
1. Demonstrate safe operation and set up of an engine lathe.
2. Indicate round and irregular shaped work pieces in a independent 4 jaw chuck.
3. Perform multiple cutting operations.
4. Calculate surface speed and feed and determine RPM for turning operations.
