removes the metal from a stationary workpiece with the help of a reciprocating single point tool

which part houses the ram driving mechanism

column

what is the purpose of the RAM?

moves the cutting tool forward and backward in a straight line

mention 3 functions for the tool head

provides vertical and angular (by moving swivel head) tool movement.

allows the tool to have an automatic relief during its return stroke

hold the tool rigidly

what is the purpose of the clapper box

keeps the tool cleared from the machined surface during backward stroke

what is the purpose of the cross rail

it permits vertical and horizontal moving of the table

what are the cutting movemnts

workpiece takes the feed and the cutter takes the doc and cutting speed.

what is the ration of the forward speed to the backward speed

1:3

which feed makes horizontal surfaces

cross feed

which feed makes vertical surfaces

vertical feed

how do you rotate the tool

by rotating swivel arc

which feed makes inclined surfaces

rotate swivel plate

which feed makes slots and grooves

vertical feed

in the planner machine what happens to the workpiece and the cutting tool?

the workpiece reciprocates while the cutting tool is stationary
