2. Lathe faceplate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lathe_faceplate

   A lathe faceplate is a basic workholding accessory for a wood or metal turning lathe. It is a circular metal (usually cast iron) plate which fixes to the end of the lathe spindle. The workpiece is then clamped to the faceplate, typically using t-slot nuts in slots in the faceplate, or less commonly threaded holes in the faceplate itself.

3. Automatic tool changer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_Tool_Changer

   But if even more tools are required, then an ATC is needed. The tools are stored in a magazine. This allows the machine to work with a large number of tools without operator intervention. The main parts of an automatic tool changer are the base, the gripper arm, the tool holder, the support arm, and the tool magazines. [2]

4. 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 ...

5. Facing (machining) - Wikipedia

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

   This process removes the material by rotating the facing tool in the counterclockwise direction as the table feeds the work piece across the cutter. Face milling can be achieved with an end mill, but is often done with a face mill, shell mill or a fly cutter. Face milling can be done in both manual machining and CNC machining. To obtain a ...

6. Tool and cutter grinder - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tool_and_cutter_grinder

   A radius grinder (or radius tool grinder) is a special grinder used for grinding the most complex tool forms, and is the historical predecessor to the CNC tool and cutter grinder. Like the CNC grinder, it may be used for other tasks where grinding spherical surfaces is necessary. The tool itself consists of three parts: The grinder head, work ...

7. Cutting tool (machining) - Wikipedia

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

   Cutting tool materials must be harder than the material which is to be cut, and the tool must be able to withstand the heat and force generated in the metal-cutting process. Also, the tool must have a specific geometry, with clearance angles designed so that the cutting edge can contact the workpiece without the rest of the tool dragging on the ...
