a) Pitch > lead
b) Pitch<<lead
c) Pitch < lead
d) Pitch=lead

Answer: d
Explanation: Pitch=lead/number of starts.

2. Let screw of 10mm pitch is needed to be cut on lathe machine. Lead screw of lathe has pitch of 6mm. Which of the following statement is correct?
a) Speed of lead screw is greater than speed of spindle
b) Speed of lead screw is less that speed of spindle
c) Speed of lead screw is equal to speed of spindle
d) None of the mentioned

Answer: a
Explanation: Speed of lead screw increase in relative to speed of spindle as many times the required pitch is smaller than pitch of lead screw.

3. Which of the following lathe requires very high skills for operation?
a) Centre lathe
b) Capstan lathe
c) Turret lathe
d) All of the mentioned

Answer: a
Explanation: Centre lathe is much more typical than other lathe machines and hence requires much more skills.

Answer: b
Explanation: Turret head is one of the important feature of turret lathe generally mounted on saddle.

9. Lead crew is present in turret lathe for thread cutting
a) True
b) False

Answer: b
Explanation: Thread cutting in turret lathe is generally produced by taps and die heads, hence lead screw are not present in turret lathe.

10. Lead crew is present in Capstan lathe for thread cutting
a) True
b) False

Answer: b
