Machining Techniques
- Laying Out is the process of marking center points, circles, arcs, or lines on metal surfaces.
- Reaming is the operation of sizing and finishing holes using a multi-edged cutting tool.
- Countersinking creates a cone-shaped enlargement at the hole's end, typically for flat head screws.

Gears and Bolts
- The Pitch Circle is the imaginary circle that runs through the contact points of meshing gears.
- Carriage Bolts are designed for fastening wooden components, preventing rotation within the material.
- Diametral Pitch refers to the number of gear teeth per inch of pitch diameter.
- Circular Pitch measures the distance from the center of one gear tooth to the next.
- Addendum is the part of the gear tooth above the pitch circle, while Dedendum is below it.
Machine Tool Structures
- A Gear Rack converts rotary motion into reciprocating motion.
- Worm Gears are utilized for high-speed ratio applications.
- Bevel Gears transmit motion between shafts at an angle.
Metal Treatment Processes
