To counterbore from the backside of a workpiece by using a boring tool that passes through a through hole, deploys a cutting edge (or receives it by manual insertion from an operator), counterbores the far side, retracts the cutting edge (or has it removed), and then retreats back through the hole (toward the tool's origin).
To countersink from the backside of a workpiece by using a tool that passes through a through hole, deploys a cutting edge (or receives it by manual insertion from an operator), countersinks the far side, retracts the cutting edge (or has it removed), and then retreats back through the hole (toward the tool's origin).
To spotface from the backside of a workpiece by using a tool that passes through a through hole, deploys a cutting edge (or receives it by manual insertion from an operator), spotfaces the far side, retracts the cutting edge (or has it removed), and then retreats back through the hole (toward the tool's origin).
To bore from the backside of a workpiece by using a boring tool that passes through one or more through holes, deploys a cutting edge (or receives it by manual insertion from an operator), bores a feature on the far side, retracts the cutting edge (or has it removed), and then retreats back through the hole (toward the tool's origin).
Synonym of barfeeder.
A type of feed (feeder) for machine tools such as lathes, turning centers, and Swiss-turns, which holds multiple bars of bar stock and feeds each bar, in turn, into the machine.
The act or process of boring holes; such practice as an area of expertise in manufacturing.
An irregularity on a workpiece, caused by vibration.
That cuts or forms a material without producing chips.
The process of bringing metals to a desired shape by chipping away the unwanted material.
A machine tool in which a rotating grinding wheel is moved against the workpiece (or vice versa) in order to cut the latter to a desired shape.
The topmost, foremost, or leading part.
Industrial machinery specially designed to execute construction tasks, most frequently involving earthwork operations.
To take a rough cut, quickly removing material; to hog out.
Making a rough cut to quickly remove material
Looseness between fitted parts, either intentional (as allowance) or unintentional (from error or wear).
A system for securing cutting tools or toolholders in the spindle of a machine tool.
A tool, typically a power-driven machine and typically stationary, used especially for machining (removing hard material via cutting, grinding, or other subtractive processes) and (more broadly) for any mix of subtractive, forming/stamping, or additive work.
Any of various grinding, cutting, or shredding processes using any of various types of mill.
A machine tool in which a rotating cutter is moved against the workpiece (or vice versa) in order to cut the latter to a desired shape.
A widely used type of machine taper.
A pillow block; a low housing.
The period when a power saw or other tool continues to run after being powered off.
Tending to walk toward the proper center of a hole when cutting.
Any agent that shapes (something), whether literally or figuratively.
An implement that removes a small amount of material around the edges of a previously blanked stamping or piercing.
To mill (blocks, inserts, etc) into precisely square condition.
Ellipsis of machine taper.
A tenth of a mil; a ten-thousandth of an inch.
To drill and thread in one operation, using a tool bit that cuts the hole and the threads in one series of computer-controlled movements.
A cylindrical iron or steel bar used as a lever.
The path through space that the tip of a cutting tool follows on its way to producing the desired geometry of the workpiece.
The selection or configuration of a toolpath.
To establish a reference coordinate or datum, by moving the tool head to just touch the workpiece or machine bed.
A cutting tool for turning (cutting external diameters and faces) as opposed to boring (cutting internal diameters and faces); especially, a single-point cutting tool fur such purpose.
To tend to move radially while feeding axially, whether tending toward on-center or tending toward off-center. Walking may be desirable (e.g., when a reamer walks into concentricity) or undesirable (e.g., when a twist drill walks into eccentricity.)
A partially finished object (often composed of a raw material) which is subjected to various operations, worked on with tools, etc.
