Which type of dimensional inaccuracy results when thermal gradients cause differential expansion in a CNC lathe's mechanical structure?

A)Tapering along the workpiece axis
B)Chatter during high-speed cutting
C)Barrelling of cylindrical surfaces
D)Workpiece surface micro-cracking

💡 Explanation

Tapering appears because differential thermal expansion causes carriage misalignment with the spindle centerline. This creates angular deviation therefore resulting in a tapered part rather than a cylinder. Chatter involves resonant frequencies; barrelling results from tool wear.
