1-2-3 block -CORRECTANSWER A precise metal block with dimensions measuring
25.4 mm, 50.8 mm, and 76.2 mm long, respectively. A ___ ___ can be used to touch off
a tool during calculation of tool length offset.
axes -CORRECTANSWER An imaginary line that passes through the center of an
object. ___ are used to measure the distances of objects in the Cartesian coordinate
system.
Cartesian coordinate system -CORRECTANSWER A positioning system that uses
three perpendicular linear axes to locate positions in three-dimensional space. The ___
___ ___'s axes are the X axis, Y axis, and Z axis.
CNC -CORRECTANSWER Computer numerical control. A sophisticated machining
device that uses a computer to carry out machining operations. ___ machine tools are
much more sophisticated than their manual counterparts.
, computer numerical control -CORRECTANSWER CNC. A sophisticated machining
device that uses a computer to carry out machining operations. ___ ___ ___ machine
tools are much more sophisticated than their manual counterparts.
contour -CORRECTANSWER A curved surface or dimension that is cut into a
workpiece. Contours can be affected by the dimensions of the cutting tool if CRC is not
used.
CRC -CORRECTANSWER Cutter radius compensation. An offset that accounts for
variations in tool diameter. CRC is only necessary for tools that continuously cut along a
horizontal plane.
cutter radius compensation -CORRECTANSWER CRC. An offset that accounts for
variations in tool diameter. Cutter radius compensation is only necessary for tools that
continuously cut along a horizontal plane.
diameters -CORRECTANSWER The distance from one edge of a circle to the opposite
edge across its widest point. Tool diameters must be accounted for with cutter radius
compensation.
drills -CORRECTANSWER A multi-point cutting tool used to make round holes. Drills
are usually made from high-speed steel and cemented carbides.
