Manufacturing Process

An unfinished work piece requiring machining will need to have some material cut away to create a finished product. A finished product would be a work piece that meets the specifications set out for that work piece by engineering drawings or blueprints. A lathe is a machine tool that can be used to create that dia
eter by rotating a metal workpiece, so that a cutting tool can cut metal away, creating a smooth, round surface matching the required diameter and surface finish. A drill can be used to remove metal in the shape of a cylindrical hole. Other tools that may be used for various types of metal removal are milling machines, saws, and grinding machines. Many of these same techniques are used in woodworking.the "traditional" machining processes, such as turning, boring, drilling, milling, broaching, sawing,shaping, planing, reaming, and tapping, or sometimes to grinding.
