Question

Identify the operation which cannot be performed using a conventional lathe.

• A. Contour turning
• B. Chamfering
• C. Planning
• D. Facing

Hint:

A lathe is designed for operations like turning and facing, while planning requires a planer machine that moves the tool in a linear path to cut large, flat surfaces.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

A conventional lathe is typically used for turning, facing, chamfering, and other operations involving cylindrical workpieces. However, planning is a machining operation that is performed using a planer, not a lathe. Planning involves moving a workpiece relative to a fixed cutting tool.
