2. Plasma cutting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_cutting

   CNC plasma cutting Plasma cutting performed by an industrial robot. Plasma cutting is a process that cuts through electrically conductive materials by means of an accelerated jet of hot plasma. Typical materials cut with a plasma torch include steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass and copper, although other conductive metals may be cut as well.

3. Boss (engineering) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boss_(engineering)

   A common everyday example of a boss is the housing of the rotation spindle in a washing machine drum, or on a cylinder lawn mower at the end of the cutting blade cylinder which may house a bearing set to allow the cylinder to rotate through one plane, but held firm in another plane. A boss can also be a brass eyelet on a sail.

4. Metal fabrication - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_fabrication

   Burn tables are CNC (computer-operated) cutting torches, usually powered by natural gas. Plasma and laser cutting tables, and water jet cutters, are also common. Plate steel is loaded on the table and the parts are cut out as programmed. The support table consists of a grid of bars that can be replaced when worn. Higher-end burn tables may ...

5. Numerical control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_control

   A CNC machine that operates on wood CNC machines typically use some kind of coolant, typically a water-miscible oil, to keep the tool and parts from getting hot. A CNC metal lathe with the door open. In machining, numerical control, also called computer numerical control (CNC), [1] is the automated control of tools by means of a computer.

6. Metal spinning - Wikipedia

   The foreground shows the mandrel for the base. Behind the finished vase are the spinning tools used to shape the metal. Metal spinning, also known as spin forming or spinning or metal turning most commonly, is a metalworking process by which a disc or tube of metal is rotated at high speed and formed into an axially symmetric part.

7. Milling (machining) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milling_(machining)

   Face milling is used to cut flat surfaces (faces) into the work piece, or to cut flat-bottomed cavities. In peripheral milling, the cutting action occurs primarily along the circumference of the cutter, so that the cross section of the milled surface ends up receiving the shape of the cutter. In this case the blades of the cutter can be seen as ...
