Facing (machining)
In machining, facing is the cutting of a flat surface perpendicular to some axis of the workpiece. This can be applied in two different areas: *Facing on a milling machine (perpendicular to the axis of movement), which involves various milling operations, but primarily face milling. *Facing on a lathe (perpendicular to the axis of rotation), which is commonly used in turning and boring operations. Other operations remove material in ways similar to facing, for example, planing, shaping, and grinding, but these processes are not labeled by the term "facing." Facing lathe operation Facing on the lathe uses a facing tool to cut a flat surface perpendicular to the work piece's rotational axis. A facing tool is mounted into a tool holder that rests on the carriage of the lathe. The tool will then feed perpendicularly across the part's rotational axis as it spins in the jaws of the chuck. A user will have the option to hand feed the machine while facing, or use the power feed o ...

Facing (retail)
In the retail industry, facing (also known as blocking, zoning, levelling or dressing) is the practice of pulling products forward to the front of the display or shelf on which they are placed, typically with the items' labels facing forward. This is done to keep a store appearing neat and organized, and can help create the illusion of a perfectly stocked store. Facings also refer to the amount of shelf space a particular product is given. A lot of facing generally increases sales of a particular product, therefore manufacturers often pay more money to get more facings for their products. This can lead to situations in which the largest manufacturers end up with the most shelf space because they have the greatest ability to pay. An extreme version of the tactic is front-filling, where items are moved to the front of the shelves to address supply chain shortages. In some cases, products may be spread across empty spaces to conceal gaps and maintain the appearance of a fully stock ...

Facing (sewing)
In sewing and tailoring, facing is a small piece of fabric, separate or a part of the garment fabric itself, used to finish the fabric edges. This is distinguished from hemming which simply folds the edge over; facing is (or appears to be) a more substantial layer of additional fabric added to the edges of the garment. The facing adds addition support, strength and prevents stretching. Facing makes a garment look professionally finished with the seams well hidden inside the folds of the facing. Facing is mostly used to finish the edges in necklines, armholes, hems and openings. They are also used widely in all other sewing like quilts and home decor items like curtain hems. There are basically three types of facing: # ''Shaped facings'' are cut to match the outside shape of the piece to provide a neat finish, and are often cut from the same pattern pieces. Shaped facings are typically made of the same fabric as the garment, but may also be made of lighter-weight fabric or in a ...

Facing Colour
A facing colour, also known as facings, is a common tailoring technique for European military uniforms where the visible inside lining (sewing), lining of a standard military jacket, coat or tunic is of a different colour to that of the garment itself.René Chartrand, William Younghusband, Bill Younghusband, Gerry Embleton ''Spanish Army of the Napoleonic wars'', Osprey Publishing: 1998, , 48 pages The jacket lining evolved to be of different coloured material, then of specific hues. Accordingly, when the material was turned back on itself: the cuffs, lapels and tails of the jacket exposed the contrasting colours of the lining or facing (sewing), facings, enabling ready visual distinction of different units: regiments, Division (military), divisions or battalions each with their own specific and prominent colours. The use of distinctive facings for individual regiments was at its most popular in 18th century armies, but standardisation within infantry branches became more common du ...
