2. Read and translate into Ukrainian the following text. Cutting Tools

The history of machine tools in modern times resembles the history of warfare. Just as the builder of a battleship was compelled to design ever thicker and stronger armour plate to counter the improved shells invented by the gun makers so the demands of modern industry have compelled tool-steel makers to invent ever more powerful cutting materials.

In the early days cutting tools were made of carbon later of carbon steel.

In the late 19-th century a self-hardening steel containing a small tungsten content appeared and could do work for which a carbon steel was useless.

Then followed the invention of tools of tungsten carbide, a product made in a furnace by fusing together a mass of metallic powder and a bonding medium. With tungsten carbide light finishing cuts could be taken at speeds never before possible, but owing to the brittleness of this exceptionally hard material, rigidity of the machine and power to give the required speeds of cutting were even more essential than for the high-speed steels.

An intermediate cutting alloy is Stellite, an alloy of cobalt, chromium, tungsten and carbon, which in cutting properties lies somewhere between the best high-speed steels and the carbide tools.

Diamonds, extensively used as cutting tools, are particularly suitable for the mass production of parts with great accuracy to dimensions, and where an extremely good surface is needed.

The standard cutting tool shapes are facing tools, roughing tools, finishing tools, left hand cutting tools and other specially shaped cutting tools.

Facing tools are ground to provide clearance with a center. Roughing tools have a small side relief angle to leave more material to support the cutting edge during deep cuts.

Finishing tools have a more rounded nose to provide a finer finish. Round nose tools are for lighter turning. They have no back or side rake to permit cutting in either diitection.

Left hand cutting tools are designed to cut best when traveling from left to right.

Aluminum is cut best by specially shaped cutting tools with the cutting edge slightly above center to reduce chatter.
