• Facing off: Machining a surface flat and smooth, usually on a lathe or milling machine.
• Purpose: Ensures a proper fit between surfaces, like preparing a casting’s seat for bearings or other components.
• Common in mechanical fitting to achieve accurate mating surfaces for assembly.
What are Face Plates?

Tell me a time when you chose to do the right thing even though there were easier options?
When at sea we did a purifier overhaul and left out 1 disk from the stack inside the purifier. We could have just ran it the way out was, but I would then know that one disk wasn’t In there. So I suggested to the 4th engineer we take it apart again to out it back in.
