Turning
A cutting tool moves linearly while the workpiece rotates - Used mostly for creating cylindrical parts.
Grinding
Abrasive particles on a wheel shape or finish a workpiece - Commonly used for high precision and surface finish.
Shaping
Single-point cutting tool moves linearly against a stationary workpiece - Used for small-sized materials to produce flat surfaces, grooves, or keyways.
Milling
Rotating cutting tools remove material - Commonly used for making gears and slots.
Boring
Enlarges an existing hole to precise dimensions - Used for creating precise diameters or for finishing holes.
Planing
A single-point cutting tool moves over a stationary workpiece - Produces flat or shaped surfaces.
Drilling
Rotating drill bits create holes in solid material - Often used for making bolt holes or for assembly.
Sawing
Cutting material with a saw blade - Used for dividing material into smaller sections or lengths.
Honing
Abrasive stones pass over a surface - Used for the final dimensioning and surface finish of bores.
Tapping
Cutting internal threads within holes - Enables the assembly of bolted connections in metal parts.
Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM)
Uses electrical sparks to mold workpieces - Suitable for hard materials and intricate shapes.
Broaching
Uses a toothed tool to remove material - Ideal for precise tolerances and surface finishes in linear paths.
