Workholding

Workholding refers to the methods and devices used to secure a workpiece in place during a machining operation.

Truing

Truing is the process of restoring the shape of a grinding wheel to its original form.

Turning

Turning is a machining process in which a cutting tool is used to remove material from a rotating workpiece.

Turret

A turret is a tool holding device used on a lathe or mill that allows for the efficient and quick changing of cutting tools.

Ultrasonic

Ultrasonic machining is a non-traditional machining process that uses high-frequency vibrations to remove material from a workpiece.

Vibration

Vibration is the unwanted movement of a machine tool or workpiece during a machining operation that can affect accuracy and quality.

Vibration (ADC)

Active Damping Control (ADC) is a technology used to minimize vibration in machine tools by adjusting the cutting forces in real time.

Wear

Wear is the gradual loss of material from a cutting tool or workpiece due to repeated use.

Wheel dressing

Wheel dressing is the process of restoring the shape and sharpness of a grinding wheel by removing worn particles and dressing the abrasive grains.

Blind hole

A blind hole is a drilled hole that does not pass completely through the workpiece, but instead stops at a certain depth.
