EDM (electrical discharge machining) is a machining method for use on hard metals that would be almost impossible to machine with traditional techniques.  It is also sometimes known as ’spark machining’ because of the way it works to shape the metal or work piece.
EDM removes and shapes metal by producing a series of rapid and [...]

An offhand grinder works in the same way as any other machine in the grinding family.  It is a machine tool that uses an abrasive wheel as a cutting tool.  The wheel’s surface will cut a small chip from the work piece on contact through shear deformation.
In the case of an offhand grinder the work [...]

A cylindrical grinder is a machine tool that uses an abrasive wheel as a cutting tool.  The wheel’s surface will cut a small chip from the work piece on contact through shear deformation.
There a number of different types of grinder, each suited to specific applications depending on their shape and whether they move or the work [...]

A vehicle is constructed with many parts and elements, all with their own important function.  Car suspension has the job of maximising the friction between the tires and road surface to ensure steering stability and passenger comfort.
Car suspension works by absorbing the energy created by what is known as vertical acceleration when the car goes [...]

A Huron milling machine is a computer controlled machine tool used for the shaping of metal and other solid materials.  They are vertical mills that have the ability to move along the Z-axis as well as the usual X and Y, making it particularly useful for applications like relief sculptures.
Huron milling machines are even better [...]

Bridgeport milling machines are computer controlled machine tools used for shaping metal and other solid materials.  They are vertical mills that have the ability to move along the Z-axis as well as the usual X and Y, making it particularly useful for applications like relief sculptures.
Bridgeport milling machines are a particularly versatile style of machine, [...]

DMG CNC milling machines or disk mounted graphic computer numerical controlled milling machines to give them their full name are used to shape metal and other solid materials.  In general milling machines are vertical mills that have the ability to move along the Z-axis as well as the usual X and Y, making them particularly [...]
