Machining is a manufacturing method that covers the shaping of the machine element, which is designed and constructed beforehand, and whose manufacturing process is determined, by subjecting it to a cutting operation by means of specified cutting tools on machining machines suitable for the manufacturing process. Machining is performed by creating tension on the workpiece with the relative movement of the cutting tool and/or the workpiece relative to each other.

Machining

Machining; It is the process of shaping materials such as metal, plastic, wood by removing the material from the top or from the inside.

Machining is the process of removing material in the form of layers from the workpiece, using a tool and power to give a material the desired properties (surface, shape and size).

The separated material layer is also called sawdust.

It differs according to chip type, cutting tool geometry, feed rate and material being processed.

Machining types:

  • Face turning
  • Center hole drilling
  • chamfering
  • Incremental turning
  • Plane face milling
  • Incline milling
  • Slot Milling
  • knurling
  • unscrewing

Advantages of Machining:

  • Different materials can be processed.
  • Parts with more precise tolerance ranges can be produced compared to Chipless Manufacturing.
  • With Machining, parts of various geometries and sizes can be obtained.
  • unscrewing
  • hole drilling
  • Parts with smooth corners and geometry
  • Uniform dimensions and clean surfaces can be obtained.

Disadvantages of Machining:

  • Material wastage is high.
  • Machining processes take longer than other manufacturing/production methods.
