cutting (exaggerated). Note that at small depths of cut, the rake
angle can effectively become negative. In such cases, the tool may
simply ride over the workpiece surface, burnishing it, instead of
cutting.

Characteristics
Turning and facing operations are performed on all types of
materials; requires skilled labor; low production rate, but
medium to high rates can be achieved with turret lathes and
automatic machines, requiring less skilled labor.
Internal surfaces or profiles, with characteristics similar to
those produced by turning; stiffness of boring bar is important to avoid chatter.
Round holes of various sizes and depths; requires boring and
reaming for improved accuracy; high production rate, labor
skill required depends on hole location and accuracy specified.
Variety of shapes involving contours, flat surfaces, and slots;
wide variety of tooling; versatile; low to medium production
rate; requires skilled labor.
Flat surfaces and straight contour profiles on large surfaces;
suitable for low-quantity production; labor skill required depends on part shape.
Flat surfaces and straight contour profiles on relatively small
workpieces; suitable for low-quantity production; labor skill
required depends on part shape.
External and internal flat surfaces, slots, and contours with
good surface finish; costly tooling; high production rate; labor
skill required depends on part shape.
Straight and contour cuts on flats or structural shapes; not
suitable for hard materials unless the saw has carbide teeth
or is coated with diamond; low production rate; requires only
low skilled labor.

of the pair of margins is to provide a
bearing surface for the drill against
walls of the hole as it penetrates into
the workpiece. Drills with four margins
(double-margin) are available for
improved drill guidance and accuracy.
Drills with chip-breaker features are
also available. (b) Crankshaft drills.
These drills have good centering ability,
and because chips tend to break up
easily, they are suitable for producing
deep holes.
