Theory of Metal Machining
1)What distinguishes machining from other manufacturing processes?
In machining, material is removed from the workpart so that the remaining material is
the desired part geometry.

2) Identify some of the reasons why machining is commercially and

technologically important?
The reasons include:
(1) its applicability to most materials; (2) its capability to produce a variety of
geometries to a part; (3) it can achieve closer tolerances than most other processes; and
(4) it can create good surface finishes.
Eng. Fatma Soliman
 3) Name the three most common machining processes?
The three common machining processes are: (1) turning, (2) drilling, and (3)
milling.

4) What are the three categories of cutting tools in machining?

Give an example of a machining operation that uses each of the
tooling types?
The two categories are: (1) single -point tools, used in operations such as
turning and boring; (2) double- point cutting tools, such as drilling and (3)
multiple-edge cutting tools, used in operations such as milling.

5) Identify the parameters of a machining operation that are included within the
scope of cutting conditions?
Cutting conditions include: speed, feed, depth of cut, and whether or not a cutting fluid is used.

6) Define the difference between roughing and finishing operations in machining?

A roughing operation is used to remove large amounts of material rapidly and to produce a part
geometry close to the desired shape.
A finishing operation follows roughing and is used to achieve the final geometry and surface finish.
