  3. Turning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turning

    Turning is a machining process in which a cutting tool, typically a non-rotary tool bit, describes a helix toolpath by moving more or less linearly while the workpiece rotates. Usually the term "turning" is reserved for the generation of external surfaces by this cutting action, whereas this same essential cutting action when applied to ...

  4. Surface finishing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_finishing

    A #7 finish is produced by polishing with a 280–320 grit belt or wheel and sisal buffing with a cut and color compound. This is a semi-bright finish that will still have some polishing lines, but they will be very dull. Carbon steel and iron are commonly polished to a #7 finish before chrome plating.

  5. Millwork - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millwork

    Millwork is historically any wood-mill produced decorative material used in building construction. Stock profiled and patterned millwork building components fabricated by milling at a planing mill can usually be installed with minimal alteration. Today, millwork may encompass items that are made using alternatives to wood, including synthetics ...

  6. Honing (metalworking) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honing_(metalworking)

    A honing machine is a precision tool used in machining to improve the surface finish and dimensional accuracy of component. It operates by using abrasive honing tools, which rotate and reciprocate inside the components, typically a cylinder or bore. This process enhances the internal surface quality, achieving precise dimensions and smooth ...

  7. Abrasive flow machining - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abrasive_flow_machining

    AFM smooths and finishes rough surfaces, and is specifically used to remove burrs, polish surfaces, form radii, and even remove material. The nature of AFM makes it ideal for interior surfaces, slots, holes, cavities, and other areas that may be difficult to reach with other polishing or grinding processes. [ 3 ]
