Correct option is A
Taper turning is a process in which the diameter of a cylindrical workpiece gradually decreases or increases along its length. The cross slide plays a crucial role in this operation.
Methods of taper turning:
· By cross-slide movement: The cross slide is set at an angle and manually adjusted to achieve the taper.
· By swiveling the compound rest: The compound slide is rotated to the desired taper angle.
· By using a taper turning attachment: Provides precision without adjusting the cross-slide manually.
· By offsetting the tailstock: The workpiece is held at an angle, creating a gradual taper.
