  2. Micrometer (device) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micrometer_(device)

    The amount of rotation of an accurately made screw can be directly and precisely correlated to a certain amount of axial movement (and vice versa), through the constant known as the screw's lead (/ˈliːd/). A screw's lead is the distance it moves forward axially with one complete turn (360°).

  3. Centerless grinding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centerless_grinding

    A schematic diagram of the centerless grinding process. Centerless grinding is a machining process that uses abrasive cutting to remove material from a workpiece. [1] Centerless grinding differs from centered grinding operations in that no spindle or fixture is used to locate and secure the workpiece; [2] the workpiece is secured between two rotary grinding wheels, and the speed of their ...

  4. Milling (machining) - Wikipedia

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

    When combined with the use of conical tools or a ball nose cutter, it also significantly improves milling precision without impacting speed, providing a cost-efficient alternative to most flat-surface hand-engraving work. Five-axis machining center with rotating table and computer interface

  6. Honing (metalworking) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honing_(metalworking)

    High-precision workpieces are usually ground and then honed. Grinding determines the size, and honing improves the shape. The difference between honing and grinding is not always the same. Some grinders have complex movements and are self-truing, and some honing machines are equipped with in-process gauging for size control.

  7. Axial precession - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial_precession

    In astronomy, axial precession is a gravity-induced, slow, and continuous change in the orientation of an astronomical body's rotational axis. In the absence of precession, the astronomical body's orbit would show axial parallelism . [ 2 ]

  9. Astigmatism (optical systems) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astigmatism_(optical_systems)

    Grinding and polishing of precision optical parts, either by hand or machine, typically employs significant downward pressure, which in turn creates significant frictional side pressures during polishing strokes that can combine to locally flex and distort the parts.
