Grinder - A machine tool in which an abrasive wheel is used as a cutting tool to obtain
a very smooth finish.
Milling machine -It is used to produce a variety of surfaces by using a circular type
cutter with multiple teeth.
Flywheel - A heavy rotating body which serves as reservoir for absorbing and
redistributing kinetic energy.
Worm Gear - A kind of gear used for heavy duty works where a large ratio of speed is
required and are extensively used in speed reducers.
Bevel gear - A kind of gear used to transmit motion from one shaft to another shaft at
angle to the first.
10mm - The minimum thickness of steel members exposed to weather and accessible
for painting.
Manganese - The common deoxidizer and cleanser of steel, forming oxides and
sulfates that are carried off in the slag.
Diamond - A highly transparent and exceedingly hard crystalline stone of almost pure
carbon.
Oilstone - A fine grained, salty silica rock used for sharpening edge tools.
Annealing - The softening of metals by heat treatment and most commonly consists of
heating the metals up to near molten state and then cooling them very slowly.
Strain -The total deformation measured in the direction of the line of stress.
Elastic limit -The maximum stress to which a material can be subjected without a trace
of any permanent set remaining upon a complete withdrawal of the stress.
Tolerance - The total permissible variation in the size of a dimension; the difference
between the limits of the size.
Lubrication -Fluid film desired between two surfaces having relative sliding motion.
Packing - Flexible material used to seal pressurized fluids, normally under dynamic
conditions.
Poisson’s ratio - A property of material which relates the lateral strains to the
longitudinal strain.
Worm gear - A kind of gear used for heavy duty works where a large ratio of speed is
required and is extensively used in speed reducers.
Bevel gear - A kind of gear used to transmit motion from one shaft to another shaft at
an angle to the first.
Shaping - A machining operation whereby the tool reciprocates and the feed is
stationary.
Insulators - Any material that retards the flow of electricity used to prevent passage or
escape of electric current from conductors.
Mercury - A metallic element and the only metal that is liquid at ordinary temperature.
Brass - An alloy of copper and zinc.
Divider - A tool with hardened points used for scribing circles or laying of distances.
Torch - Name of mechanism which a welding operator holds during gas welding and at
the end of which the gases are burned to perform the various gas welding operations.
Ultimate stress - The maximum stress to which a material may be subjected before
failure occurs.
Annealing - The softening of metals by heat treatment and most commonly consists of
heating the metals up to near molten state and then cooling them very slowly.
Milling - The process of producing a variety of surfaces by using a circular type cutter
with multiple teeth.
Grinding machine - A machine tool in which an abrasive wheel is used as a cutting tool
to obtain a very high degree of accuracy and a smooth finish on metal parts, including
soft and hardened steel.
Shaper - A machine tool used principally to machine flat or place surfaces with a single
point cutting tool.

between the limits of the size.
