When using a lathe, what is the process known as facing-off?
When the end of a workpiece to be tooled is cut level so the end is flat
When the cutting tool cuts a notch or groove in a workpiece being tooled
When the cutting tool cuts an angle or taper in a workpiece being tooled
What does annealing do?
It makes metals more malleable and makes shaping them easier
It uses heat to make metals harder
It reduces the hardness of a metal and makes it more ductile
What effect does a parting tool do on a wood lathe?
It creates more detailed shapes in a workpiece
It smooths the workpiece ready for finishing
It creates inserts, notches, or grooves in the workpiece
What is involved in the metal-work process known as ‘sinking’?
Using a jig to bend and shape metal into curves
Using a mallet and a mould to form metal into a bowl shape
Using a mallet and bending bars to shape metal
What does tempering do to metals?
It uses heat and rapid cooling to make metals harder but more brittle
It uses heating and slow cooling to make metals more ductile
It uses low heat and gentle cooling to make metals easier to shape
