Processes which remove metal from a workpiece can be broadly classified into three main groups i.e Chip Removal, Chipless removal and metal removed by heat.
Chip Removal Processes..
| Process Name/link... | Notes |
| Automation | Modern machine tools are generally controlled using CNC /DNC.. |
| Drilling | Drilling is the production of holes.. |
| Turning | The workpiece is rotated around its axis and a cutting tool is fed parallel to the axis to create a cylinder or at right angles to the axis to create a face |
| Milling | Milling involves feeding the workpiece past a rotating cutter with cutting edges on its side or end or both |
| Grinding | Used to produce a good accurate surface finish... |
| Shaping | Used to produce flat surfaces by reciprocating tool motion... |
| Planing | Used to produce flat surfaces by reciprocating Workpiece motion... |
