2. Tailstock - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tailstock

   Tailstock, click on image to see naming of parts Tailstock used for drilling. A tailstock, also known as a foot stock, [1] is a device often used as part of an engineering lathe, wood-turning lathe, or used in conjunction with a rotary table on a milling machine.

3. Part program - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Part_program

   The part program is a sequence of instruction that describe the work that is to be done to a part. Typically these instructions are generated in Computer-aided manufacturing software and are then fed into the computer numerical control (CNC) software on the machines, such as drills, lathes, mills, grinders, routers, that are performing work on the part.

4. Tool and cutter grinder - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tool_and_cutter_grinder

   Pantographs are a variety of milling machine used to create cavities for the dies used in the molding process; they are largely obsolete and replaced by CNC machining centers in modern industry. With the addition of accessory holders, the single-lip grinding capability may also be applied to grinding lathe cutting bits, and simple faceted ...

5. Indexing head - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indexing_head

   This enables the machine's main CNC controller to control the indexing head just like it would control the other axes of the machine. This can be used to machine complex 3D shapes, helices with a non-constant pitch, and similar exotic parts. This mode of operation cannot be used on a manual machine tool because it requires a full CNC controller ...

6. Machinist - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machinist

   Computer numerical controlled (CNC) machines are computer-driven tools that can machine a large variety of shapes, and whose use in the workflow depends on the part to be machined. [2] CNC machines are becoming the standard due to their speed, precision, flexibility, repeatability, and reduced downtime while changing jobs.

7. Milling cutter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milling_cutter

   Milling cutters are cutting tools typically used in milling machines or machining centres to perform milling operations (and occasionally in other machine tools).They remove material by their movement within the machine (e.g., a ball nose mill) or directly from the cutter's shape (e.g., a form tool such as a hobbing cutter).

8. Multiaxis machining - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiaxis_machining

   Multiaxis machining is a manufacturing process that involves tools that move in 4 or more directions and are used to manufacture parts out of metal or other materials by milling away excess material, by water jet cutting or by laser cutting. This type of machining was originally performed mechanically on large complex machines.

9. Automatic tool changer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_Tool_Changer

   In machining, an automatic tool changer (ATC) is used in computerized numerical control (CNC) machine tools to improve the production and tool carrying capacity of the machine. ATCs change tools rapidly, reducing non-productive time. They are generally used to improve the capacity of the machines to work with a number of tools.
