  2. Parallel (engineering) - Wikipedia

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

    Parallels supporting a vee block and a workpiece. A parallel is a rectangular block of metal, commonly made from tool steel, stainless steel or cast iron, which has 2, [1] 4 or 6 faces ground or lapped to a precise surface finish.

  3. Hat block - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hat_block

    A hat block, also known as a hat form or bashing block, is a wooden block carved into the shape of a hat by a craftsman known as a block shaper. It is used by hat makers and milliners [1] to produce a hat. Today there are only a handful of block shapers left. In the United Kingdom, hat block making has been listed as an endangered craft by the ...

  4. Speeds and feeds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speeds_and_feeds

    Cutting speed may be defined as the rate at the workpiece surface, irrespective of the machining operation used. A cutting speed for mild steel of 100 ft/min is the same whether it is the speed of the cutter passing over the workpiece, such as in a turning operation, or the speed of the cutter moving past a workpiece, such as in a milling operation.

  5. Metalworking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metalworking

    Milling is the complex shaping of metal or other materials by removing material to form the final shape. It is generally done on a milling machine , a power-driven machine that in its basic form consists of a milling cutter that rotates about the spindle axis (like a drill ), and a worktable that can move in multiple directions (usually two ...

  6. Hatmaking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hatmaking

    Milliners always have an extensive collection of different hat blocks because there are specific hat sizes and custom shapes for every hat block. In the blocking process of a hat, milliners used push pins and a hammer to hold the adjustable string along the crown's collar and the brim's edge. [10] A floral-making iron is a unique iron used by ...

  7. Tandem rolling mill - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tandem_rolling_mill

    A tandem rolling mill is a rolling mill used to produce wire and sheet metal. It is composed of two or more close-coupled [clarification needed] stands, and uses tension between the stands as well as compressive force from work rolls [clarification needed] to reduce the thickness of steel. It was first patented by Richard Ford in 1766 in England.

  8. 2.5D (machining) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2.5D_(machining)

    A 2.5D machine, also called a two-and-a-half-axis mill, possesses the capability to translate in all three axes but can perform the cutting operation only in two of the three axes at a time due to hardware or software limitations, or a machine that has a solenoid instead of a true, linear Z axis. A typical example involves an XY table that ...

    This is the most common size and takes a hammer up to 4 kg. The wedges grip an area of 75 mm 2 (0.116 sq in) and the shank is inserted 40 mm into the chuck. SDS-top A 14 mm shank similar to SDS-plus, designed for hammers from 2 to 5 kg. The grip area is increased to 212 mm 2 (0.329 sq in) and the shank is inserted 70 mm. This size remained ...
