MACHINE TOOLSDrill press - A machining tool that uses a drill to penetrate the surface of a workpiece and make around hole. Drill presses can be used for a variety of hole-making operations.Drill press - A machine tool that rotates a cutting tool with enough force to cause it to penetrate thesurface of the workpiece and make a round hole to a certain depth.Drilling - The process of using a multi-point tool to penetrate the surface of a workpiece and makea round hole.Drive - The main device that powers the rotation of the spindle.Ductile - Able to bend, stretch, or form without breaking. Ductile metals tend to produce long,continuous chips.EDM - Electrical Discharge Machining. EDM uses a rapid series of electrical sparks to vaporize andremove metal.Electric discharge machining - The most common non-traditional machining process that removesmetal through the use of an electric current. The workpiece is immersed in a dielectric fluid.Electrochemical machining - A non-traditional machining process that removes metal by pumpinga mixture of salt and water at a high pressure into a small gap between the workpiece and aformed tool.Electrode - A device used to convey an electric current, which can either leave or enter the electrode.EDM machines generate an electric spark between an electrode and the workpiece.End mill - A thin, tall mill cutter with cutting edges that wind up the sides. Both the bottom and sideof the end mill are used during milling operations. End mills resemble drills.End milling - A milling process that uses the sides and end of an end mill to cut a variety of shapes.Engine lathe - The original and most basic type of lathe.Etching - The use of a chemical solution to dissolve metal.Face mill - A flat mill cutter with multiple cutting teeth surrounding the tool. The bottom of the facemill is primarily used during milling operations.Face milling - A cutting process that uses a mill to cut a flat surface by positioning the tool at a rightangle to the workpiece.Facing - An operation performed on a lathe that feeds a cutting tool across the end of a cylindricalworkpiece to shorten its length.quakerchem.com | info@quakerchem.com© 2013 Quaker Chemical Corporation.
