Cuts, shapes, and drills materials like metal and wood by rotating the workpiece against a cutting tool.

Removes material from a workpiece by advancing rotary cutting tools across it in different directions.

Uses an abrasive wheel as the cutting tool to produce fine finishes or make light cuts on workpieces.

Primarily used to drill holes in various materials, typically by rotating a cutting tool into the stationary workpiece.

A machining process where a single-point cutting tool removes material from the surface of a rotating workpiece.

A machining process where a multi-point cutting tool removes material from the surface of a workpiece.

A basic machining process that creates a round hole in a workpiece using a rotary cutting tool called a drill bit.

A machining process that creates internal threads within a hole, allowing it to accept a bolt or screw.

Enlarges and finishes a previously formed hole to a precise diameter with a smooth finish.

Uses a toothed tool, called a broach, to remove material in a linear path, often for making unique shapes like keyways or splines.

Enlarges an existing hole to a precise diameter using a single-point cutting tool or a boring head on a lathe or milling machine.

A machining process that uses relative linear motion between a single-point cutting tool and the workpiece to create flat surfaces.

Uses a single-point cutting tool that moves back and forth across a stationary workpiece, cutting on the forward stroke.

A cutting process that uses a saw blade to remove material from the workpiece by a reciprocating or continuous back-and-forth motion.

Uses electrical sparks to remove material from a conductive workpiece, creating shapes with a metallic electrode.

Employs a high-pressure jet of water, often with abrasive particles, to cut through various materials.

Uses a high-powered laser beam to cut or engrave materials based on computer-controlled parameters.

Involves cutting electrically conductive materials using an accelerated jet of hot plasma.

A machining process that creates gears, sprockets, and splines utilizing a toothed cutting tool called a hob.

Involves cutting gears using a reciprocating pinion-shaped cutter, allowing production of both internal and external gears.

A decorative and functional finishing process that creates a patterned surface on a workpiece, commonly for improved grip.

A cutting operation mainly used to cut straight lines on sheet metal; includes tools such as shears.

This process uses a punch press to force a tool through the workpiece to create a hole via shearing.

A cutting process where a punch and die are used to cut out a piece from sheet metal; the cutout part is the desired product.

A forming process that uses dies and punch presses to shape or cut metals into desired forms from a sheet metal workpiece.

A manufacturing process involving the shaping of metal using localized compressive forces from a hammer or a die.

A process used to create objects of a fixed cross-sectional profile by pushing material through a die of the desired cross-section.

A process that forms metal parts by heating compacted metal powders below their melting points.

A manufacturing process where a liquid material is poured into a mold, which contains a hollow cavity of the desired shape, and solidifies.

A finishing process that involves rubbing a brittle material piece over another surface with an abrasive between them.

Used to improve the geometric form and surface texture of the bores of metal components.

A process in which a medium is accelerated through a blasting nozzle by compressed air to clean or prepare a surface.

A fabrication process that joins materials, typically metals or thermoplastics, by causing coalescence.

A forging process where the dimensions of an item are altered by applying radial forces using a swage.

A cutting process used to create internal and external threads on a workpiece using a rotating cutting tool.

A process of grinding cylindrical workpieces without supports, using two wheels and a work blade.

Uses robots to automate a machining operation, increasing precision and repeatability while reducing labor.

Refers to the automated control of machining tools by a computer, where software is pre-programmed with the desired part's G-code.

Commonly known as 3D printing, it's a process of making three-dimensional solid objects from a digital file by adding materials layer by layer.
