Tooling_U Chapter 2 Vocab Flashcards
An axle-like machine component attach to one end to the spindle in a horizontal mill machine. This holds and rotates the milling cutter.
Arbor
A turning machine that continuously cuts a number of parts from a piece of bar stock. This machine is also known as a bar feeding machine.
Automatic Bar Machine
A saw that uses a saw blade constructed from a continuous loop or band of metal. These blades are flexible so they are able to cut curving lines in flat workpieces.
Band Saw
Raw material that is purchased from metal manufacturers in the form of a long piece.
Bar Stock
A type of milling machine with a large bed that only moves across a horizontal axis. This machine mills large, flat workpieces
Bed-Type Milling Machine
The process of enlarging an existing hole with a single-point tool. This is commonly performed on a lathe.
Boring
A multi-point cutting tool made of a series of teeth that progressively increases in size. This can both remove metal and finish the surface of the workpiece with one pace of the cutting tool.
Broach
A machine that uses a multi-point cutting tool to shape and finish either the interior of the hole or the surface of a workpiece. This machine removes a large amount of material from a workpiece.
Broaching Machine
A cutting tool made from hard material that has multiple cutting edges. The edges of this tool can be excessively worn, indexed to another edge, or can be replaced.
Carbide Insert
A saw that cuts with a toothed or abrasive disk. This can rotate at very high speeds.
Circular Saw
A slitted device that holds a workpiece or cutting tool in place as it rotates. They have a hole through which the workpiece or tool passes, and it is designed to hold specific dimensions.
Collet
A milling machine with a spindle that is mounted in the column and a worktable that rests on an adjustable knee. This is a manual Milling Machine
Column-And-Knee Milling Machine
The verticle support or backbone, of a machine.
Column
A curved, non-linear dimension created by a cutting process. This needs precise tool movement in milling.
Contours
The cutting of a beveled edge at the end of a hole. This allows the head of a screw to rest level with a workpiece surface.
Countersinking
The main device that powers the rotation of a spindle. This is located in the headstock of a lathe
Drive
A tall, thin mill cutter with cutting edges that spirals up the sides, resembling a drill. Both the bottom and side are used during milling operations.
End Mill
The original and most basic type of lathe. These are often used to make cylindrical workpieces.
Engine Lathe
A flat mill cutter with multiple cutting teeth surrounding the bottom edge. This is often used to remove large amounts of material to create flat surfaces.
Face Mill
The section of teeth on a broach that makes the final finishing cuts on a surface. They are the largest-sized teeth on the broach
Finishing Teeth
A custom-design, uniquely shaped, type of milling cutter. These are often used to mill specific parts.
Form Mill
The ability of a material to resist penetration and scratching. This is one of the key properties of cutting tool materials
Hardness
An inexpensive cutting tool material that has high toughness. This is tougher than carbide but offers less hardness and wear resistance.
High-speed steel
What does HSS stand for?
