CNC Machine Checking Quiz for Middle School Students
Quiz: Understanding Single Block and Dry Run in CNC Machining
1. Why is Single Block mode important in CNC machining?
A) To speed up production
B) To execute the program line by line for careful inspection
C) To reduce machine noise
D) To automatically complete the entire program quickly
2. What is the primary purpose of Dry Run mode?
A) To actually cut the metal
B) To test the program without engaging the cutting tool
C) To lubricate the machine
D) To measure the workpiece dimensions
