2. Numerical control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_control

   A CNC machine that operates on wood CNC machines typically use some kind of coolant, typically a water-miscible oil, to keep the tool and parts from getting hot. A CNC metal lathe with the door open. In machining, numerical control, also called computer numerical control (CNC), [1] is the automated control of tools by means of a computer. [2]

3. Milling (machining) - Wikipedia

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

   Milling centers are generally classified as vertical machining centers (VMCs) or horizontal machining centers (HMCs). The integration of milling into turning environments, and vice versa, began with live tooling for lathes and the occasional use of mills for turning operations. This led to a new class of machine tools, multitasking machines ...

4. Lathe center - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lathe_center

   Dead center (the conical piece) mounted in the spindle of a lathe and being used to support a workpiece being driven by a carrier setup. A lathe center, often shortened to center, is a tool that has been ground to a point to accurately position a workpiece on an axis. They usually have an included angle of 60°, but in heavy machining ...

5. Wiggler (tool) - Wikipedia

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

   Center finder. A center finder is a tool used to align the machining center to a precision location on a work piece. Often these locations might be marked using a layout method (coating the surface with layout stain and scribing a precise location with the intersection of the two lines identifying the position to be machined, etc.

6. History of numerical control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_numerical_control

   Other methods of transferring CNC programs to machine tools, such as diskettes or direct connection of a portable computer, are also used. Punched mylar tapes are more robust. Floppy disks , USB flash drives and local area networking have replaced the tapes to some degree, especially in larger environments that are highly integrated.

7. 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.
