Home > Blossary: Machining Processes

Machining is any of various processes in which a piece of raw material is cut into a desired final shape and size by a controlled material-removal process.It is important to view machining, as well as all manufacturing operations, as a system consisting of the workpiece, the tool and the machine. The traditional machining includes primers on turning, milling, drilling, and grinding. It also includes computer applications which are being supported by the primers.
