Q

Four categories of ABRASIVE CUTTING

A

GRINDING
FINISHING
POLISHING
BUFFING

19
Q

Simplest and most dangerous of all grinding machine tools

A

BENCH GRINDER

20
Q

Precision grinding machine dedicated to cutting flat surfaces

A

SURFACE GRINDER

21
Q

Grinding process where the workpiece is placed between two centers, live and dead, and rotated by a “Driving Plate and Dog” for a concentric shape

A

CYLINDRICAL GRINDING

22
Q

Grinding process second to CYLINDRICAL GRINDING or performed on its own. Workpiece rests on a blade and fed without slippage by an angled “Regulator Wheel”.

A

CENTERLESS GRINDING

23
Q

Rejuvenation process for grinding wheels

A

TRUING

24
Q

Device with a diamond tip which is drawn across the edge of the grinding wheel where it cuts it back to a straight surface concentric with the shaft.

A

DRESSING TOOL

25
Q

FINISHING applied to flat surfaces

A

LAPPING

26
Q

FINISHING applied to internal bores

A

HONING

31
Q

Tool which is cylindrical in shape and carries a ring of rectangular stones around the periphery.

A

HONING TOOL

32
Q

Finishing process performed using discs of material with very fine abrasive grit. Levels surfaces and removes pits, scales, and other imperfections.

A

POLISHING

33
Q

Process to achieve a “Bright Luster” look. Removes fine surface scratches left after polishing.
