| Machining: An Introduction |
 |
|
In terms of annual dollars spent, machining is
the most important of the manufacturing processes. Machining
can be defined as the process of removing material from a workpiece
in the form of chips. The term metal cutting is used when the
material is metallic. Most machining has very low set-up cost
compared to forming, molding, and casting processes. However,
machining is much more expensive for high volumes. Machining is
necessary where tight tolerances on dimensions and finishes are
required.
The Machining section is divided into the
following categories:
- DRILLING:
- TURNING:
- MILLING:
- GRINDING:
- CHIP
FORMATION:
