2. Spindle (tool) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spindle_(tool)

   In machine tools, a spindle is a rotating axis of the machine, which often has a shaft at its heart. The shaft itself is called a spindle, but also, in shop-floor practice, the word often is used metonymically to refer to the entire rotary unit, including not only the shaft itself, but its bearings and anything attached to it (chuck, etc.).

3. Milling (machining) - Wikipedia

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

   Vertical milling machine. 1: milling cutter 2: spindle 3: top slide or overarm 4: column 5: table 6: Y-axis slide 7: knee 8: base. In the vertical milling machine the spindle axis is vertically oriented. Milling cutters are held in the spindle and rotate on its axis. The spindle can generally be lowered (or the table can be raised, giving the ...

4. Speeds and feeds - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speeds_and_feeds

   Milling cutter in a milling machine; Router bit in a wood router; Shaper cutter or knife in a wood shaper or spindle moulder; Grinding wheel on a grinding machine. Excessive spindle speed will cause premature tool wear, breakages, and can cause tool chatter, all of which can lead to potentially dangerous conditions.

5. Numerical control - Wikipedia

   Functions include: face milling, shoulder milling, tapping, drilling and some even offer turning. Today, CNC mills can have 3 to 6 axes. Most CNC mills require placing the workpiece on or in them and must be at least as big as the workpiece, but new 3-axis machines are being produced that are much smaller.

6. Drawbar (machine tool) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drawbar_(machine_tool)

   The drawbar pull is an important component that allows the milling machine to keep the tool in place while it’s being used. The force from the drawbar pull supplied to the tool has to be just right because not enough force would cause the tool to wobble leading to inaccuracy, and too much force would apply excessive stress, leading to shorter tool life.

7. Wiggler (tool) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiggler_(tool)

   It works in a non-rotating spindle, which is a great advantage over its mechanical counterparts. It is battery-operated and works by lighting up its internal LED (usually red) when the electrical circuit formed by the instrument, the workpiece and the machine is closed. The light is thus illuminated when the edge finder is touching the ...

8. Machine taper - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_taper

   The patent also used the keys and slots and a tail on the tool shank to prevent the tool shank from falling out of a horizontal mill's spindle while the operator connected the drawbar. [12] ANSI B5.18-1972 specifies some essential dimensions for milling machine spindles and tool shanks using taper sizes 30, 40, 45, 50, 60. [13]

9. Machine tool - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_tool

   Eli Whitney milling machine, c. 1818. Important early machine tools included the slide rest lathe, screw-cutting lathe, turret lathe, milling machine, pattern tracing lathe, shaper, and metal planer, which were all in use before 1840. [12] With these machine tools the decades-old objective of producing interchangeable parts was finally realized ...
