- 24. Machining is the general term for a process of shaping, cutting or changing the physical properties of a material.
- 26. Turning is when a material is held between two plates and then the cutting tool is rotated to form the desired shape.
- 28. Forces or direction that is applied along the axis. If you picture a wheel on a car, axial would be the direction the axle is running, though the center of the wheel.
- 29. Preloading is when a portion of the load a part is designed to bear is applied and then the part is tightened or adjusted so that it is prepared to bear the full load it was designed for.
- 30. A machining process that puts holes in a part using a die and punch tooling.
