  2. Shaping (psychology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaping_(psychology)

    Shaping (psychology) Shaping is a conditioning paradigm used primarily in the experimental analysis of behavior. The method used is differential reinforcement of successive approximations. It was introduced by B. F. Skinner [1] with pigeons and extended to dogs, dolphins, humans and other species. In shaping, the form of an existing response is ...

  3. Machining - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machining

    Machining. CNC machine pouring coolant to keep the tool and parts from getting hot. Lathe machine. Machining is a manufacturing process where a desired shape or part is created using the controlled removal of material, most often metal, from a larger piece of raw material by cutting. Machining is a form of subtractive manufacturing, [1] which ...

  4. Cutting tool (machining) - Wikipedia

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

    Cutting tool (machining) In the context of machining, a cutting tool or cutter is typically a hardened metal tool that is used to cut, shape, and remove material from a workpiece by means of machining tools as well as abrasive tools by way of shear deformation. The majority of these tools are designed exclusively for metals.

    2. (n.) Any tool used for drilling holes, such as a chisel used in combination with a mallet. Decay in timber caused by fungal growth, usually in a moist, stagnant, poorly ventilated atmosphere. A system used to capture wood dust from woodworking machines such as a table saw, miter saw, router, planer, or jointer.

  6. Planing (shaping) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planing_(shaping)

    Planing (shaping) Planing is a manufacturing process of material removal in which the workpiece reciprocates against a stationary cutting tool producing a plane or sculpted surface. Planing is analogous to shaping. The main difference between these two processes is that in shaping the tool reciprocates across the stationary workpiece.

  7. Plane (tool) - Wikipedia

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

    A hand plane is a tool for shaping wood using muscle power to force the cutting blade over the wood surface. Some rotary power planers are motorized power tools used for the same types of larger tasks, but are unsuitable for fine-scale planing, where a miniature hand plane is used. Generally, all planes are used to flatten, reduce the thickness ...

  8. Shaper - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaper

    Shaper. Shaper tool slide, clapper box and cutting tool. Shaper with boring bar setup to allow cutting of internal features, such as keyways, or even shapes that might otherwise be cut with wire EDM. In machining, a shaper is a type of machine tool that uses linear relative motion between the workpiece and a single-point cutting tool to machine ...

  9. Wood shaper - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood_shaper

    Wood shaper. A wood shaper (usually just shaper in North America or spindle moulder in the UK and Europe), is a stationary woodworking machine in which a vertically oriented spindle drives one or more stacked cutter heads to mill profiles on wood stock. A wood moulder (American English) is similar to a shaper, but is a more powerful and complex ...
