Introduction to Machining Processes and Machine Tools
Machining is a manufacturing process that involves the removal of material from a workpiece to
create a desired shape and size. Machining can be performed using a variety of tools and
processes, each with its own advantages and limitations.
1. Turning: Turning is a process that involves rotating a workpiece on a lathe and using a
cutting tool to remove material from the outer diameter of the workpiece. Turning is used
to create cylindrical shapes, such as shafts and tubes.
2. Milling: Milling involves using a rotating cutting tool to remove material from the
surface of a workpiece. Milling can be used to create a wide range of shapes and features,
including slots, pockets, and contours.
3. Drilling: Drilling is a process that involves creating holes in a workpiece using a rotating
cutting tool. Drilling can be performed using a drill press or a CNC machine.
4. Grinding: Grinding involves using a rotating abrasive wheel to remove material from the
surface of a workpiece. Grinding is used to create smooth surfaces and tight tolerances.
5. Broaching: Broaching is a process that involves using a specialized cutting tool to create
a specific shape or feature in a workpiece. Broaching is commonly used to create
keyways and splines.
Machining processes can be performed manually, using hand-held tools, or using CNC
machines, which are computer-controlled machines that can perform a wide range of machining
operations with high precision and accuracy. The choice of machining process depends on
factors such as the desired shape and size of the workpiece, the material being machined, and the
required tolerances and surface finish.
Machining processes can be classified based on several criteria, including the type of tool used,
the type of motion involved, the type of energy used, and the type of workpiece being machined.
Here are some common classifications of machining processes:
Cutting processes: involve the use of cutting tools, such as drills, saws, milling cutters,
and grinding wheels, to remove material from the workpiece.
Non-cutting processes: involve the use of non-cutting tools, such as lasers, EDM, and
water jets, to remove material from the workpiece.
Rotational machining: involve rotating the workpiece and/or tool, such as turning and
milling.
Reciprocating machining: involve linear motion of the tool or workpiece, such as drilling
and sawing.
Mechanical machining: involve the use of mechanical energy to remove material, such as
cutting, grinding, and milling.
Thermal machining: involve the use of heat to remove material, such as laser cutting and
oxy-fuel cutting.
Electrical machining: involve the use of electrical energy to remove material, such as
EDM and electrochemical machining.

cutting tool during the cutting process. It can be adjusted to control the rate of feed and
the depth of cut.
7. Drive mechanism: The drive mechanism provides the power to rotate the cutting tool and
move the workpiece. It consists of a motor, belts, and gears that work together to provide
the necessary speed and torque
It is the most common shaper machine operations. In this, the work is fed in a horizontal
direction under the reciprocating tool and the surface produced is horizontal and flat.The
work is either held in a vice or clamped directly on the machine table, depending upon its
size. The tool is held in a proper tool holder. It is set at a proper inclination and at the correct
height above the work, as described later in this article. The depth of cut adjusted and the
machine get starts. Crossfeed to the table is given initially by hand until the cut starts. After
that power feed can be employed. After the cut is finished, the machine is stopped and the
work inspected. If more material is to be removed, the procedure is repeated until the desired
surface is obtained.

1. Drilling
Drilling is the operation of producing a cylindrical hole by removing metal from the rotating
edge of a cutting tool called the drill.
The drilling is one of the simplest methods of producing a hole. Before drilling the centre of
the hole is located on the workpiece by drawing two lines at right angles to each other and
then a centre punch is used to produce an indentation at the centre.
The drill point is pressed at this centre point to produce the required hole. Drilling does not
produce an accurate hole in a workpiece and the hole location is not perfect.
The internal surface of the hole so generated by drilling becomes rough and the hole is always
slightly oversize than the drill used due to the vibration of the spindle and the drill. A 12mm
drill may produce a hole as much as 0-125mm oversize and a 22mm drill may produce one as
much as 0-5mm oversize.
2. Reaming
Reaming is an accurate way of sizing and finishing a hole which has been previously drilled.
In order to finish a hole and to bring it to the accurate size, the hole is drilled slightly
undersize.
The speed of the spindle is made half that of drilling and automatic feed may be employed. The
tool used for reaming is known as reamer which has multiple cutting edges.
Reamer cannot originate a hole. It simply follows the path which has been previously drilled
and removes a very small amount of metal. For this reason, a reamer cannot correct a hole
location. The material removed by this process is around 0-375mm and for accurate work, this
should not exceed 0-125mm.
3. Boring
To enlarge a hole by means of an adjustable cutting tool with only one cutting edge. This is
necessary where the suitable sized drill is not available or where the hole diameter is so large
that it cannot be ordinarilydrilled.
Used to finish a hole accurately and to bring it to the requiredsize.
The cutter is held in a boring bar which has a tapered shank to fit into the spindle socket. For
perfect finishing a hole, the job is drilled slightly undersize. In precision machines, the
accuracy is as high as
+0.00125mm. It is a slow process than reaming and requires several passes of the toll.
4. Counterboring
Counterboring is the operation of enlarging the end of a hole cylindrically. The enlarged hole
forms a square shoulder with the original hole. This is necessary in some cases to
accommodate the heads of bolts, studs and pins.
Atoolusedforcounterboringiscalledacounterbore.Thecounterboresaremadewithastraightor
tapered shank to fit in the drill spindle. The cutting edges may have straight or spiralteeth.
The tool is guided by a pilot which extends beyond the end of the cutting edges. The pilot
fits into the small-diameter hole running clearance and maintains the alignment of the tool.
These pilots may be interchanged for enlarging different sizes of holes. Counterboring can
give an accuracy of about +0.005mm. The cutting speed for counterboring is 25% less than
that of drilling operations.
5. Countersinking
Countersinking is the operation of making a cone-shaped enlargement of the end of a
hole to provide a recess for a flat head screw or countersunk rivet fitted into the hole.
The tool used for countersinking is called a countersink. Standard countersinks have 60, 82 or
90 inclined angle and the cutting edges of the tool are formed at the conical surface. The
6. Spotfacing
Spot facing is the operation of smoothing and squaring the surface around a hole for the seat
for a nut or the head of a screw. A counterbore or a special spot facing tool may be
employed for this purpose.
7. Tapping
It is the operation of cutting internal threads by means of a cutting tool called a tap.
Tapping in a drilling machine may be performed by hand or by machine.
A tap may be considered as a bolt with accurate threads cut on it. The threads act as cutting
edges which are hardened and ground. When the tap is screwed into the hole it removes metal
and cuts internal threads which will fit into external threads of the same size.
8. Lapping
Lapping is the operation of sizing and finishing a small diameter hole already hardened by
removing a very small amount of material by using a lap. There are many kinds of lapping
tools.
The copper head laps are commonly used. The lap fits in the hole and is moved up and down
while it revolves.
9. Grinding
Grinding operation may be performed in a drilling machine to finish a hardened hole. The
grinding wheel is made to revolve with the spindle and is fed up and down.
A suitable grinding wheel may be selected for surface grinding operation. Grinding can also be
done correctly out of roundness of the hole. The accuracy in grinding operation is quite high
about+0.0025mm.
10.Trepanning
The tool may be operated at higher speeds as the vibration in diameter of the tool is limited
by the narrow cutting edge. The tool resembles a hollow tube having cutting edges at one
end and a solid shank at the other to fit into the drill spindle. This is one of the efficient
methods of producing a hole.
CNC stands for Computer Numerical Control, which is a technology used to automate the
control of machine tools, such as lathes, mills, routers, and grinders. CNC machines use a
computer program to control the movements of the machine tools, allowing for precise and
complex cuts and shapes to be created with ease.
CNC technology has revolutionized the manufacturing industry, as it allows for higher levels of
precision, accuracy, and repeatability than manual machining. CNC machines can produce parts
with consistent quality, reduce waste and errors, and increase efficiency and productivity.
The CNC technology works by using a computer program that contains a set of instructions,
called G-code, that directs the machine tool's movements. The program is loaded into the CNC
machine's computer, which controls the movements of the machine based on the G-code
instructions. The machine's cutting tool moves along the X, Y, and Z axes, following the
programmed path to create the desired shape or cut.
CNC technology has been widely adopted in industries such as aerospace, automotive, medical,
and manufacturing. CNC machines are used to produce a wide range of products, from simple
components to complex parts used in advanced machinery. With the continuous development of
computer technology and automation, the applications of CNC technology are constantly
expanding, and it is becoming increasingly prevalent in various fields.
The construction of a CNC lathe machine is similar to a conventional lathe, with the addition of a
computer-controlled system that allows for more precise and complex cuts. The key components
of a CNC lathe machine include:

It is typically made of cast iron and provides a rigid structure for the machine.
2. Headstock: The headstock is mounted on the bed and contains the spindle that rotates the
workpiece. The spindle can be controlled by the CNC system to vary the speed and
direction of rotation.
3. Tailstock: The tailstock supports the opposite end of the workpiece and can be adjusted to
hold the workpiece in place during machining operations.
4. Tool turret: The tool turret holds the cutting tools and can be rotated to select the
appropriate tool for the job. The tool turret is controlled by the CNC system, which
determines the appropriate tool for each cutting operation.
5. CNC controller: The CNC controller is the computer that controls the machine's
movements and cutting operations. It receives instructions from a computer program and
sends signals to the machine's motors to move the cutting tools and workpiece in the
desired direction.
6. Motors: The machine's motors provide the power to move the cutting tools and
workpiece. They are controlled by the CNC system to ensure precise and accurate
movement.
7. Coolant system: The coolant system is used to cool the cutting tools and workpiece
during machining operations to prevent overheating and damage to the parts.
