🔍 Key Concepts

• Lathe operations include turning, facing, threading, and knurling, each using a different style of tool or attachment. • A knurling tool does not cut metal away; it presses a patterned wheel into the work to form a textured, cross‑hatched grip surface. • Look closely at figure "N" in the illustration and notice how it contacts the workpiece compared to the cutting tools shown at other letters.

💭 Think About

• Does the tool at "N" appear to be removing chips like a normal cutting tool, or does it look like a roller or wheel being pressed into the surface? • Which of the answer choices refers to a common machine‑shop operation used to create a textured, non‑slip grip on round shafts, knobs, or handwheels? • Compare the shape of tool "N" with the tools around the rest of the shaft: which name best matches a tool that forms a pattern rather than cutting a groove or shoulder?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which term among the choices is actually used in machine‑shop / lathe terminology. • Confirm that the operation associated with that term is used to produce a textured or patterned surface on cylindrical work. • Be sure the tool name you choose matches the roller-style tool shown at "N", not a standard single‑point cutting tool.
