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..

Machining 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...
Saws Saws are used to cut short lengths of long sections..
