Counterbore

A counterbore is a type of hole created through CNC machining that has a larger diameter at one end, allowing a bolt or screw head to be recessed or flush with the surface of the workpiece.

Countersink

A countersink is a type of hole created through CNC machining that has a conical shape, allowing a screw or bolt to be seated flush with the surface of the workpiece.

Coated tool

A coated tool is a cutting tool used in CNC machining that has been coated with a thin layer of material, such as diamond or carbide, to improve wear resistance, reduce friction, or enhance other properties.

Cutting speed

Cutting speed refers to the speed at which the cutting tool or workpiece is moved in relation to the cutting surface in a CNC machine, and is a critical factor in determining the efficiency and effectiveness of the machining process.

Cutting fluid

Cutting fluid is a liquid or paste used in CNC machining to lubricate and cool the cutting tool and workpiece, reducing friction and heat and improving tool life and surface finish.

Cutter

A cutter is a type of cutting tool used in CNC machining to remove material from a workpiece, and may be designed for a specific material, geometry, or application.

Cutoff wheel

A cutoff wheel is a type of cutting tool used in CNC machining to make precise, straight cuts in a workpiece, and may be made from a variety of materials such as ceramic or diamond.

Crush dressing

Crush dressing is a technique used in CNC grinding to dress or shape the grinding wheel by pressing a tool against the wheel and causing it to fracture or break off small pieces, resulting in a new, sharp surface.

Cross feed

Cross feed refers to the movement of the cutting tool or workpiece perpendicular to the axis of rotation in a CNC machine, and may be used to create flat surfaces or contours.

Creep feed grinding

Creep feed grinding is a type of CNC grinding process used to remove large amounts of material from a workpiece at low feed rates, and may be used to create complex geometries or shapes.
