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.

Air blast

An air blast is a stream of compressed air used in CNC machining to remove chips, debris, or other contaminants from the workpiece or cutting tool.

Air gap

An air gap is the distance between two components or surfaces in a CNC machine, and may be used to control the flow of coolant, lubricant, or other fluids, or to prevent interference between moving parts.

Axis

An axis is a reference direction or line of movement in a CNC machine, and may refer to the X, Y, or Z axis, as well as additional axes used in specialized applications.

Backlash

Backlash is the amount of play or clearance between two components in a CNC machine, and may result in reduced accuracy or repeatability if not properly controlled.

Balancing

Balancing is the process of adjusting the weight or distribution of a rotating component in a CNC machine to reduce vibration and improve accuracy and tool life.

Ball end mill

A ball end mill is a type of cutting tool used in CNC machining that has a spherical end, allowing it to create rounded or curved features in the workpiece.

Bond

Bond refers to the material that holds the abrasive grains or particles together in a grinding or cutting tool used in CNC machining, and may be made from a variety of materials such as resin, metal, or ceramic.

Bore grinding

Bore grinding is a type of CNC grinding process that is used to create precise, cylindrical holes or bores in a workpiece, and may be used in a variety of applications such as automotive or aerospace components.

Center cutting

Center cutting refers to a cutting tool that has a sharp center point, allowing it to be used for drilling or plunging into a workpiece, as well as for traditional milling or cutting operations.
