Solution

A bench grinder sharpens metal pieces. There are eight steps to follow when switching on the grinder. The space between the tool rest and the grinding wheel is 1/8 inch. A pot with water should be placed near the metal grinder while being ground. Engineers have to keep their face away from the pot to avoid the steam created by the hot metal hitting the cooler water.

Plane Irons: The blades of hand planes, known as plane irons, can also be sharpened effectively on a bench grinder. This ensures smooth and accurate planing of wood surfaces.

Read the text and fill in the blanks WITH ONLY ONE WORD.Machining and CNCMaching is the use of machines to cut pieces of material (called workpiece) and shape them into components. The tools used in machining, to make holes, grooves, threads, etc., are called machine tools. Metal is often machined. As it is cut, waste is produced, called swaft or chips. During machining, a liquid called cutting fluid may be pumped onto the workpiece to act as a coolant, keeping the workpiece cool. In manufacturing, machining is usually guided by computers called computer numerical control (CNC) systems. Often, design information ( on shapes and sizes of components) is fed directly into CNC systems from computer aided design/ computer aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) software.Machining with cutting toolsMilling is cutting done by a milling machine, often using toothed cutting discs ( wheel with teeth that have sharp edges). When a workpiece is milled, it is held in a fix position on the machine, and is shaped by cutting tools which rotate (spin) while being moved over the surface of the workpiece.Turning is a technique for cutting components that have a circular cross-section. The workpiece is turned by a machine called a lathe, which rotates the workpiece. A fixed machine tool is then moved against the rotating worpiece to cut material from it.Punching: Thin materials can be cut by applying pressure in order to shear them- that is, cut them with scissoring force ( in engineering, called a shear force). Small shapes, such as circles, can be sheared from sheets using a machine called a punch which pushes a die ( a shaped tool) through the sheet.1. The waste metal produces during machining is called 2. Metal gets hot during cutting, so cutting fluid can be used as a .3. Drawings can be produced and traferred to the machining process using .4. A milling machine uses toothed cutting discs to mill a held in a fix position on the machine.5. Turning means cutting components that have a circular cross-section. A lathe is used to turn and the workpiece.

Face Milling: Face milling is a milling process used to create flat surfaces on the workpiece. A milling cutter with teeth on its face removes material in a horizontal motion, resulting in a flat and smooth surface

Computerized work standards :  One of the problems with operating a metal cutting machine tool is determining the speeds and feeds that should be used for a given operation. Computer programs are available to recommend the appropriate cutting conditions for different materials and operations (e.g., turning, milling, drilling).*1 pointtruefalseOther:
