What type of tooling operation can perform tasks like turning, cutoff, and threading on cylindrical workpieces?

The correct choice for tooling operations capable of performing tasks such as turning, cutoff, and threading on cylindrical workpieces is single-point tooling. Single-point tools are designed for lathes and can effectively engage in various operations on a cylindrical shape by moving the tool against the rotating workpiece.

In turning operations, a single-point tool specifically removes material from the outer diameter of a cylindrical part, which involves the tool moving linearly along the length of the part while it spins. This operation is fundamental for achieving desired diameters and finishes. When it comes to cutoff, the tool can be positioned to sever the workpiece at a certain point. Furthermore, single-point tooling is essential for threading, where a specially designed tool can cut precise threads by following a helical path along the cylinder.

While multi-point tooling typically consists of bits with several cutting edges that can handle large volumes of material removal, its applications are more suited to operations such as milling or drilling rather than specifically focusing on the tasks of turning, cutoff, and threading which are characteristic of single-point operations. Hand tools, while versatile, do not provide the precision or capability for automated or bulk operations on cylindrical items like lathes do.
