Question

Which of the following is not a common function of clinometers?

(a) Determine included angle of two adjacent faces

(b) Checking angular faces

(c) Checking relief angles on small cutting tools

(d) Setting inclination table

The question was asked in exam.

I want to ask this question from Clinometers topic in section Angular Measurement and Circular Division of Engineering Metrology

Answer 1

Right choice is (c) Checking relief angles on small cutting tools

The explanation is: Clinometers can be used for checking relief angles on large cutting tools, for checking angular faces and milling cutter inserts. These can also be used on jig boring machines for setting inclination table and on grinding machines for angular work.
