Question 148General Subjects - QMED

The correct answer is C) cutting-off tool. The cutting-off tool, also known as a parting tool, is a lathe tool that is used to cut or part off a workpiece from the main material. This tool is designed with a narrow, sharp cutting edge that allows it to cut straight into the workpiece, separating it from the larger material. This is the typical function of the tool shown as figure "U" in the illustration. The other answer choices are not accurate descriptions of this particular lathe tool. A left cut side-facing tool, a right side end facing tool, and a universal turning tool all have different shapes and purposes compared to a cutting-off tool.
