  2. Wiggler (tool) - Wikipedia

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

    When the horizontal distance from the workpiece to the axis of the shank is exactly equal to the radius of the second cylinder, the second cylinder turns perfectly coaxially with the shank. Even a very small displacement in the direction of the workpiece cause the second cylinder to "kick off" and displace dramatically along the workpiece edge.

  3. Lathe center - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lathe_center

    Dead center with carbide insert (bottom) A dead center (one that does not turn freely, i.e., dead) may be used to support the workpiece at either the fixed or rotating end of the machine. When used in the fixed position, a dead center produces friction between the workpiece and center, due to the rotation of the workpiece.

  4. Boss (engineering) - Wikipedia

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

    Like a process on a bone, bosses on castings can provide attachment points or bearing surfaces. [ 2 ] The term 'boss' when used in engineering can also relate to a finishing edge around (usually) a circular opening that allows the opening to locate onto, or within another opening thus locating or joining two items together with a view to the ...

  5. Isometric projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isometric_projection

    By rotating the cube by 45° on the x-axis, the point (1, 1, 1) will therefore become (1, 0, √ 2) as depicted in the diagram. The second rotation aims to bring the same point on the positive z -axis and so needs to perform a rotation of value equal to the arctangent of 1 ⁄ √ 2 which is approximately 35.264°.

  6. Lathe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lathe

    Modern metal lathe A watchmaker using a lathe to prepare a component cut from copper for a watch. A lathe (/ l eɪ ð /) is a machine tool that rotates a workpiece about an axis of rotation to perform various operations such as cutting, sanding, knurling, drilling, deformation, facing, threading and turning, with tools that are applied to the workpiece to create an object with symmetry about ...

  7. Cam (mechanism) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cam_(mechanism)

    A cam is a rotating or sliding piece in a mechanical linkage used especially in transforming rotary motion into linear motion. [1] [2] It is often a part of a rotating wheel (e.g. an eccentric wheel) or shaft (e.g. a cylinder with an irregular shape) that strikes a lever at one or more points on its circular

  8. Milling (machining) - Wikipedia

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

    The milling cutter is a rotary cutting tool, often with multiple cutting points. As opposed to drilling , where the tool is advanced along its rotation axis, the cutter in milling is usually moved perpendicular to its axis so that cutting occurs on the circumference of the cutter.

  9. List of moments of inertia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_moments_of_inertia

    Point mass M at a distance r from the axis of rotation. I = M r 2 {\displaystyle I=Mr^{2}} A point mass does not have a moment of inertia around its own axis, but using the parallel axis theorem a moment of inertia around a distant axis of rotation is achieved.
