Safety Guidelines

  • Verify DRO calibration before precision work
  • Use appropriate workholding for precision operations
  • Maintain clean, temperature-controlled environment
  • Check cutting tool geometry and condition
  • Use proper measuring tools and techniques

Common Operations

FacingBasic

Creating a flat surface perpendicular to the workpiece axis.

Reducing the diameter of a workpiece to a specified size.

Creating holes using the tailstock

BoringIntermediate

Enlarging and finishing holes

ThreadingIntermediate

Cutting internal and external threads

Creating conical surfaces

KnurlingIntermediate

A surface treatment process that creates a diamond-shaped pattern for improved grip. The pattern is pressed into the workpiece using hardened wheels.

PartingIntermediate

Cutting off a completed part from the stock material using a narrow cutting tool. Requires proper speed and feed rates to prevent tool breakage.

GroovingIntermediate

Cutting channels or recesses into the workpiece. Used for O-ring seats, retaining ring grooves, and decorative features.

ReamingIntermediate

Finishing holes to precise dimensions with excellent surface finish using specialized cutting tools.
