Know how a range of non-traditional techniques are used
Electro discharge: machines eg spark erosion, wire erosion; features of the
workpiece eg holes, faces (such as flat, square, parallel, angular), forms
(such as concave, convex, profile, square/rectangular), other features (such as
threads, engraving, cavities, radii/arcs, slots)
Broaching: machines eg horizontal, vertical; features of the workpiece eg
keyways, holes (such as flat sided, square, hexagonal, octagonal), splines,
serrations, other special forms
Honing and lapping: machines eg honing (such as horizontal, vertical), lapping
(such as rotary disc, reciprocating); features of the workpiece eg holes (such
as through, blind, tapered), faces (such as flat, parallel, angular)
