  2. Ceramic tile cutter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceramic_tile_cutter

    First Tile Cutter Invented by Boada Brothers. The ceramic tile cutter works by first scratching a straight line across the surface of the tile with a hardened metal wheel and then applying pressure directly below the line and on each side of the line on top. Snapping pressure varies widely, some mass-produced models exerting over 750 kg.

  3. Lapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lapping

    Lapping machine. Lapping is a machining process in which two surfaces are rubbed together with an abrasive between them, by hand movement or using a machine.. Lapping often follows other subtractive processes with more aggressive material removal as a first step, such as milling and/or grinding.

  4. Surface finishing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_finishing

    Also known as grinding, roughing or rough grinding. These finishes are coarse in nature and usually are a preliminary finish applied before manufacturing. An example would be grinding gates off of castings, deburring or removing excess weld material. It is coarse in appearance and applied by using 36–100 grit abrasive. [5]

  5. Clip art - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clip_art

    Examples of computer clip art, from Openclipart. Clip art (also clipart, clip-art) is a type of graphic art. Pieces are pre-made images used to illustrate any medium. Today, clip art is used extensively and comes in many forms, both electronic and printed. However, most clip art today is created, distributed, and used in a digital form.

  6. Surface grinding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_grinding

    Surface grinding is done on flat surfaces to produce a smooth finish. It is a widely used abrasive machining process in which a spinning wheel covered in rough particles ( grinding wheel ) cuts chips of metallic or nonmetallic substance from a workpiece, making a face of it flat or smooth.

  7. Euclidean tilings by convex regular polygons - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_tilings_by...

    Such tilings can be considered edge-to-edge as nonregular polygons with adjacent colinear edges. There are seven families of isogonal figures, each family having a real-valued parameter determining the overlap between sides of adjacent tiles or the ratio between the edge lengths of different tiles. Two of the families are generated from shifted ...

  8. Cairo pentagonal tiling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cairo_pentagonal_tiling

    One particular form of the tiling, dual to the snub square tiling, has tiles with the minimum possible perimeter among all pentagonal tilings. Another, overlaying two flattened tilings by regular hexagons, is the form used in Cairo and has the property that every edge is collinear with infinitely many other edges.

  9. Grinding (abrasive cutting) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grinding_(abrasive_cutting)

    Grinding is a subset of cutting, as grinding is a true metal-cutting process. Each grain of abrasive functions as a microscopic single-point cutting edge (although of high negative rake angle), and shears a tiny chip that is analogous to what would conventionally be called a "cut" chip (turning, milling, drilling, tapping, etc.) [citation needed].
