The present invention is a mini wheel CNC and manual lathe with wheel straightener and method for using said lathe.

A portable turning machine includes a support placed on and fixed to a floor, a ring base supported by the support, a turning ring that is turnably supported by the ring base and arranged on an outer circumference side of a collector ring, a motor for turning ring that turns the turning ring, and a tool that is attached to the turning ring and is used for performing corrective machining of the collector ring. The ring base has a structure that is dividable into a lower dividable type ring base and an upper dividable type ring base. The turning ring has a structure that is dividable into a lower dividable type turning ring and an upper dividable type turning ring.

A heat shield has a first layer, a second layer and a third layer. The first layer may have an outer surface and an inner surface. The second layer may have a first inner surface and a second inner surface. The third layer may have an inner surface and an outer surface, where the outer surface is defined by a plurality of dimples.

A laminated film includes: an inner layer formed of a heat-sealable thermoplastic resin; an outer layer laminated on the inner layer; and a fragile processed portion in which at least a part of the outer layer is removed and at least a part of the inner layer is present and which has a linear shape in planar view and a Young's modulus of 2.0 gigapascals or less.

Various embodiments include apparatus and methods of forming an apparatus using a solution shearing process. An example method includes providing a shearing blade on a portion of a substrate coated with a polymeric conductor material and controlling generation of a transparent and conductive polymer film on the substrate by moving the shearing blade in a direction, to generate shear stress to the polymeric conductor material, and according to shearing deposition parameters.

In a lathe equipped with a spindle for rotatably driving a work and a tool rest having a turret (rotary member) rotatably supporting a plurality of tools in an indexable manner about a horizontal axis, the tool rest is detachably installed on a tool rest installation portion formed so as to be positioned on an operator side so that the tools of the turret face the work side gripped by the spindle in an attachable and detachable manner.

In one aspect, evaporator boats are provided which, in some embodiments, exhibit resistance to corrosion and associated performance degradation imparted by exposure to molten metals, including aluminum. An evaporator boat described herein comprises a body and an evaporator surface, the body comprising a boron nitride (BN) component and a TiB.sub.2 component including a solid solution of TiB.sub.2 and one or more elements selected from the group consisting of silicon and metallic elements of Groups IVB-VIIIB of the Periodic Table.

A machine tool having a monolithic base is disclosed. The monolithic base includes at least two flat surfaces that are mutually orthogonal and that are convex with respect to each other. The machine tool includes at least two moveable stages, each mounted to one of the flat surfaces, and each stage also being mutually orthogonal.
