  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. 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.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mortise_and_tenon

    It is a locked (pegged) mortise and tenon technique that consists of cutting two mortises into the edges of two planks; a separate rectangular tenon is then inserted in the two mortises. The assembly is then locked in place by driving a dowel through one or more holes drilled through mortise side wall and tenon. [14] [15]

  7. Spindle whorl - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spindle_whorl

    It is typically positioned on the bottom of the spindle. The spinner spins the weighted spindle pulling off a mass of fibers which is twisted into yarn. Historically, whorls have been made of materials like amber , antler , bone , ceramic , coral , glass , stone , metal (iron, lead, lead alloy), and wood ( oak ).

  8. Spinning wheel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinning_wheel

    The great wheel is usually over 1.5 metres (5 feet) in height. The large drive wheel turns the much smaller spindle assembly, with the spindle revolving many times for each turn of the drive wheel. The yarn is spun at an angle off the tip of the spindle, and is then stored on the spindle.
