Tooling_U Chapter 1 Vocab Flashcards
A device used to spray air. Used by an operator to remove chips from inside a CNC machine
Air Nozzle
A single-point cutting tool is used to enlarge a preexisting hole. Can be performed on either a lathe or a mill, and helps create a concentric hole that meets tight tolerances
Bore
The section of the lathe that slides back and forth longitudinally along the way. It is used to support the cross-slide and cutting tool.
Carriage
An unwanted piece of metal that is removed from a workpiece. Formed when a tool cuts or grinds metal
Chips
A rotating shaft with a helical blade that removes chips from the machine. It is used for the automated removal of chips from the point of operation to reduce the risk of injury
Chip Auger
A plastic shield that covers the point of operation. This prevents flying chips from contacting the operator.
Chip Guard
A device that holds the workpiece in place as it rotates on a lathe or other machines. This commonly has two, three, or four jaws that can be adjusted to fit various workpieces.
Chuck
A device that is used to loosen or tighten a chuck. This must be removed from the chuck before starting a machine
Chuck Key
A work-holding device that grips and holds a workpiece in place. It can be used when machining with a mill.
Clamps
A machine tool controlled by a computer running programs driven by numerical data.
CNC Machine
What does CNC stand for?
Computer Numerical Controlled Machine
A moveable belt that is used in industry to transport materials over a distance. For metal cutting safety purposes, this helps remove sharp chips from a machine tool.
Conveyer Belt
A cutting fluid that is used to decrease the temperature of the tool and the workpiece. It contains oil, water, or synthetics.
Coolant
A liquid that is used during cutting operations to reduce heat and friction between the cutting tool and the workpiece. This may contain oil or other flammable liquids and is a potential fire hazard if disposed of improperly.
Cutting Fluid
A tool with one or more cutting edges designed to engage a workpiece and remove material in the form of a chip. Ideally exhibits excellent hardness, toughness, and wear resistance.
Cutting Tool
A low, two- or four-wheeled cart platform used to move or carry awkward objects.
Dolly
A multi-point cutting tool is used to make round holes. Either the workpiece is held stationary while the drill rotates to cut a hole to a certain depth, or the drill is held stationary while the workpiece rotates.
Drill
A type of tool holder that holds drill bits in a machine tool, such as a lathe, mill, or drill press. This has jaws and a collar that tightens to grip a drill bit.
Drill Chuck
A type of milling cutter that performs both peripheral and face milling with its bottom and side cutting edges. This can be used to machine grooves, slots, circular slots, pockets, and contours.
End Milling
The process of metal cutting without using fluid for lubrication or cooling. This cutting process would make a different sound than machining with the use of a coolant.
Dry Machining
The rate at which that cutting tool and the workpiece move in relation to one another. This is typically a linear movement.
Feeds
The wheel on the lathe that controls the feed of a cutting tool. This controls the cutting tool regardless if it is on the carriage or the tailstock.
Feedwheels
A machine guard that is attached to a machine with screws or other devices that requires a tool for removal. They are safer than other types because typically they are hard to remove.
Fixed Gaurd
A means to provide a safe path for electricity if it decides to stray from its intended path. This is a wire that connects to the earth, preventing a build-up of electric charge.
