🔍 Key Concepts

• Right-hand vs left-hand lathe tools (which direction they cut when fed along the work) • The difference between roughing tools (wide, serrated cutting edge) and finishing/facing tools (narrow, smooth point) • How the direction of feed (to the left) for the stock in Fig. IV matches the tool’s cutting edge orientation

💭 Think About

• Look at Fig. IV and imagine the carriage moving so the tool cuts toward the left along the shoulder. Which tool shape (C, D, E, or F) would have its main cutting edge leading in that direction? • Among the tools shown, which are clearly roughing tools versus finishing or parting tools? After you identify the roughing tools only, which of those is shaped to cut when fed to the left? • Check the slant of the cutting face and the side relief: if the work is rotating toward you at the top, which tool would remove material when you travel left along the workpiece, without rubbing?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which tools have the serrated / multiple cutting edges typical of roughing tools and eliminate the smooth-point tools. • Confirm which tool is a right-hand tool (cuts when fed toward the left) by looking at which side of the tool has the long cutting edge and clearance. • Make sure the selected tool’s geometry would allow it to clear the shoulder in Fig. IV while cutting to the left, not interfere or dig into the collar.
