Machining Processes

Classification of Machining
Processes
 Machining Processes
• Machining is the removal of unwanted
materials (machining allowance) from the
work piece so as to obtain a finished
product of the desired size, shape, and
surface quality

 Machining by Cutting
• The machining system includes the tool, the
work piece, and the machine tool that controls
the work piece and tool motions required for
the machining process.
 Form Cutting
• The work piece profile is formed through
the main work piece rotary motion in
addition to the tool feed in depth
Form Cutting
 Generation Cutting
• The work piece is formed by providing the
main motion to the work piece and moving
the tool point in the feed motion

Turning Shaping
milling
 Form and Generation Cutting
• During thread cutting, the tool having the thread form
(form cutting) is allowed to feed (generation cutting)
axially at the appropriate rate while the work piece
rotates around its axis (main motion)
