  2. Blade pitch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blade_pitch

    Blade pitch is measured relative to the aircraft body. It is usually described as "fine" or "low" for a more vertical blade angle, and "coarse" or "high" for a more horizontal blade angle. Blade pitch is normally described as a ratio of forward distance per rotation assuming no slip. Blade pitch acts much like the gearing of the final drive of ...

  3. Rake angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rake_angle

    Negative rake: A tool has a negative rake angle when the face of the cutting tool slopes away from the cutting edge at outer side. Positive rake angles generally: Make the tool more sharp and pointed. This reduces the strength of the tool, as the small included angle in the tip may cause it to chip away. Reduce cutting forces and power ...

  4. Cricut - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cricut

    The original Cricut machine has cutting mats of 150 mm × 300 mm (6 in × 12 in), the larger Cricut Explore allows mats of 300 mm × 300 mm, and 300 mm × 610 mm (12 in × 12 in, and 12 in × 24 in). The largest machine will produce letters from a 13 to 597 mm (0.5 to 23.5 in) high.

  5. Sharpness (cutting) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sharpness_(cutting)

    Sharpened metal drop-point blade Naturally occurring sharp obsidian piece Shark tooth with a sharp, serrated edge A sewing needle comes to a sharp point. Sharpness refers to the ability of a blade, point, or cutting implement to cut through materials with minimal force, and can more specifically be defined as the capacity of a surface to initiate the cut. [1]

  6. Knife sharpening - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knife_sharpening

    The angle between the blade and the stone is the edge angle – the angle from the vertical to one of the knife edges, and equals the angle at which the blade is held. The total angle from one side to the other is called the included angle – on a symmetric double-ground edge (a wedge shape), the angle from one edge to the other is thus twice ...

  7. Ground-adjustable propeller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground-adjustable_propeller

    A ground-adjustable propeller is a simple type of aircraft variable-pitch propeller where the blade angle can be adjusted between pre-set limits of fine and coarse pitch. [1] As its name implies, a ground-adjustable propeller may be adjusted only when the aircraft is on the ground and when the engine is not running.

  9. Variable-pitch propeller (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable-pitch_propeller...

    When an aircraft is stationary with the propeller spinning (in calm air), the relative wind vector for each propeller blade is from the side. However, as the aircraft starts to move forward, the relative wind vector comes increasingly from the front. The propeller blade pitch must be increased to maintain optimum angle of attack to the relative ...
