Turning is a metalcutting process used for the generation of cylindrical surfaces. Typically the workpiece is rotated on a spindle and the tool is fed into it radially, axially or both ways ...

The process of grinding was at one time the preferred method of producing workpieces with very high tolerances before the development of high-precision hard turning machines. Thanks to both new ...

The basic engine lathe, one of the most widely used machine tools, is very versatile when used by a skilled machinist. However, it is not particularly efficient when many identical parts must be ...

Compatibility of the material for the diamond turning process is crucial to achieve clean cutting with reduced surface damage. Grain structure and the presence of impurities in the material affect ...
