Machining

Machining

Machining is the process of shaping different materials by removing excess material to create a desired form. During this process, material is removed to achieve the desired surface shape and size. The removed layer is called a chip. 

Machining Methods 

The main machining methods are:

Turning: Circular movements produce round geometric products. 
Milling: Used for more detailed surfaces and threaded products (screws).
Drilling: Holes are drilled using a drilling attachment. 
Grinding: Cylindrical stones are used to achieve smooth surfaces. 
Cutting: Shapes are given to workpieces using saws. 
Reaming: Smoothens previously drilled holes. 
Planing: Removes material from vertical, horizontal, and inclined surfaces. 
Broaching: Holes are drilled into metal workpieces. 

Advantages & Disadvantages of Machining

Advantages: 
Low cost
High precision and smooth surface quality
High quality and efficiency
Zero-error production
A wide variety of materials can be processed 
Desired dimensions and shapes can be achieved 

Disadvantages: 
Material removal results in production waste 
It is a time-consuming production method
