Study Notes
Traditional Machining Processes
Turning
- Definition: A machining process where a cutting tool moves in a linear motion along the length of a rotating workpiece.
-
Operations:
- External turning: reducing diameter of a cylindrical workpiece
- Internal turning: boring a hole in a workpiece
- Facing: creating a flat surface on the end of a cylindrical workpiece
- Tools: single-point cutting tools, such as lathe tools
-
Advantages:
- High accuracy and precision
- Can produce complex shapes and profiles
- Wide range of materials can be machined
Milling
- Definition: A machining process where a rotating cutting tool moves in a linear motion along a stationary workpiece.
-
Operations:
- Peripheral milling: cutting along the periphery of a workpiece
- Face milling: cutting a flat surface on a workpiece
- End milling: cutting a pocket or slot in a workpiece
- Tools: multi-point cutting tools, such as milling cutters
-
Advantages:
- Can produce complex shapes and profiles
- High material removal rate
- Wide range of materials can be machined
Drilling
- Definition: A machining process where a rotating cutting tool moves in a linear motion along a stationary workpiece to create a hole.
-
Operations:
- Drill press: drilling a hole in a workpiece
- Counterboring: enlarging a hole in a workpiece
- Countersinking: creating a conical hole in a workpiece
- Tools: twist drills, core drills, and counterbores
-
Advantages:
- High accuracy and precision
- Can produce holes of various sizes and shapes
- Wide range of materials can be machined
