Runout

Runout refers to the deviation from true rotation of a CNC machine tool or cutting tool during a machining operation, and may be caused by misalignment, imbalance, or other factors that can affect the accuracy and precision of the finished workpiece.

Resin bonded

Resin bonded refers to a type of abrasive material used in CNC grinding and finishing processes, where abrasive particles are bonded together with a resin or adhesive material to create a durable, high-performance abrasive wheel or belt.

Regulating wheel

A regulating wheel is a component of a centerless grinding machine that helps to control the speed and position of the workpiece during the grinding operation, and may be used for creating precise, cylindrical shapes or contours on a workpiece.

Reamer

A reamer is a cutting tool used in CNC machining to create smooth, precise holes in a workpiece, typically by enlarging an existing hole or removing any roughness or irregularities from the surface of the hole.

Rapid traverse

Rapid traverse is a mode of operation on a CNC machine tool that allows the cutting tool to move quickly and efficiently between different locations on the workpiece, typically using a high-speed feed rate and minimal cutting forces to reduce cycle time.

Shear

Shear is a type of cutting action that occurs when a CNC cutting tool moves past the surface of a workpiece at an angle, slicing off thin layers of material to create a smooth, precise finish or to remove unwanted material from the surface.

Side grinding

Side grinding is a type of CNC grinding process used to create precise, flat surfaces on the sides of a workpiece, typically using a grinding wheel with a straight or angled profile and controlled by the CNC machine tool.

Spindle

A spindle is a rotating component of a CNC machine tool that holds the cutting tool and allows it to move precisely along the X, Y, and Z axes, typically driven by a motor and controlled by the CNC program.

Single point grinding

Single point grinding is a type of CNC grinding process used to create precise, cylindrical shapes or contours on a workpiece, typically using a single-point cutting tool that is carefully positioned and controlled by the CNC machine tool.

Slot milling

Slot milling is a type of CNC milling process used to create narrow, precise slots or grooves in a workpiece, typically using a cutting tool with a narrow profile and controlled by the CNC machine tool.
