The tool will then feed perpendicularly across the part's rotational axis as it spins in the jaws of the chuck.
[1] Factors that affect the quality and effectiveness of facing operations on the lathe are speeds and feeds, material hardness, cutter size, and how the part is being clamped down.
This process removes the material by rotating the facing tool in the counterclockwise direction as the table feeds the work piece across the cutter.
Factors that affect the quality and effectiveness of facing operations on the mill are speeds and feeds, material hardness, cutter size, and how the part is being clamped down.
[3] Spotfacing is the facing of spots (localized areas), such as the bearing surfaces on which bolt heads or washers will sit.
