Insert > Thickness

Holder > Shank width

Q10. When creating a Turning Thread toolpath, which setting can be used to define how much of the selected face is machined?

Linking > Approach Z

Q11. Which setting for a Turning Chamfer toolpath can be used to reduce the distance the tool pulls back from the part between each step?

Adjust the Inner Radius Offset in the Radii tab

Adjust the Retract Offset in the Radii tab

Adjust the Tolerance in the Passes tab

Adjust the Chamfer Extension in the Passes tab

Q12. Which of the following should be used to tap an on-axis hole for a part being machined on a CNC lathe?

Milling > Drilling > Drill

Turning > Turning Part

Milling > 2D > Circular

Turning > Turning Thread

Q13. When drilling holes located off-axis for C-axis drilling operations, which of the following is a requirement?

Live tooling that enables the tool to spin

A drill bit with a shoulder length shorter than the hole depth

Off-axis holes cannot be machined on a CNC lathe using C-axis drilling operations

A secondary spindle that can enable stock transfer

Q14. To create a toolpath pattern, where is the New Pattern command found?

The Turning dropdown menu

The Setup dropdown menu

The Drilling dropdown menu

The Manage dropdown menu

Q15. When drilling an on-axis hole on a CNC lathe, which of the following is defined by the spindle speed value?

The velocity of the drill bit in the positive Z-direction

The velocity of the chips being discarded from the part

The rotational speed of the stock or part in the chuck

The rotational speed of the drill bit itself

Q16. Which of the following Cycle Types for a Drill operation retracts the tool completely out of the hole?

Break through

Counterboring – dwell and rapid out

Deep drilling – full retract

Chip breaking – partial retract

Q17. Which side of the part does a Turning Face toolpath machine?

All faces with holes

All flat faces of the part

Only the back face of the part

Only the front face of the part

Q18. For an operation that is intended to rough and finish a part, which of the following options should be disabled?

Make Sharp Corners

Smoothing

Stock to Leave

Rest Machining

Q19. When a tap is selected as the tool to be used in a new Drill operation, what happens to the Cycle Type?

The Cycle Type is automatically set to Break through

The Cycle Type is automatically set to Chip breaking – partial retract

The Cycle Type is automatically set to Thread milling

The Cycle Type is automatically set to Tapping

Q20. For a part that requires internal threads produced via a tapping operation, why should the hole be drilled some amount deeper than the depth of the tapping toolpath?

To improve the accuracy of the thread geometry

To prevent the tap from bottoming out and breaking

To reduce the wear on the cutting edges of the tap

To prevent excessive burrs from forming

Q21. What is the Safe Z value?

The distance of the tool from either the front or back of the model at which the tool starts and ends each operation

The distance of the tool from either the front or back of the stock at which the tool starts and ends each operation

The rotational speed of the spindle

The speed with which the tool travels in the Z-direction

Q22. When creating a Pattern, which Operation Order setting should be selected to machine all occurrences of a single operation before moving to the next operation?

Order by tool

Preserve order

Order by operation

Order selected

Q23. When using the Simulate tool, which Colorization option will indicate regions of the part that have gouged material?

Material

Interference

Comparison

Operation

Q24. What do the settings in the Linking tab control?

Controls how each toolpath pass is configured

Controls how individual toolpath passes are connected

Controls how the part is linked to an assembly

Controls how fast the tool moves during the operation

Q25. When a toolpath pattern is created, what happens to the original toolpath?

It is suppressed

Multiple copies of the pattern are made under the active setup

It is moved to a new Setup

It is added to a pattern folder under the active setup

Q26. Which option in the Post Process dialog will enable the user to review the G-Code output automatically after clicking Post?

Post preview

Create NC Program

Reorder to minimize tool changes

Open NC file in editor

Q27. How does creating a derived operation from an existing one differ from duplicating that operation?

The Duplicate option will copy the toolpath exactly to a new Setup within the same file while Derive will create a separate file with a template for a new part

The Derive operation preserves parameter settings for a different toolpath type while Duplicate will make an exact copy of the same toolpath

The Duplicate option preserves parameter settings for a different toolpath type while Derive will make an exact copy of the same toolpath

The Derive option will copy the toolpath exactly to a new Setup within the same file while Duplicate will create a separate file with a template for a new part

Q28. When creating a Turning Face operation, what geometry must be selected?

The front of the stock must be selected

The front of the model must be selected

The back of the model must be selected

No geometry needs to be selected as the operation will automatically machine the stock from the Front plane
