Turning
Machining
A material removal process in which a sharp
cutting tool is used to mechanically cut
away material so that the desired part
geometry remains
Most common application: to shape metal
parts
Machining is the most versatile and
accurate of all manufacturing processes in
its capability to produce a diversity of part
geometries and geometric features
Casting can also produce a variety of shapes, but
it lacks the precision and accuracy of machining

Figure 22.1 Machined parts are classified as: (a) rotational, or (b)
nonrotational, shown here by block and flat parts

Turning
A single point cutting tool removes material
from a rotating workpiece to generate a
cylindrical shape
Performed on a machine tool called a lathe
Variations of turning that are performed on
a lathe:
Facing
Contour turning
Chamfering
Cutof
Threading

Facing
Tool is fed
radially inward
Contour Turning
Instead of feeding the tool parallel to the axis
of rotation, tool follows a contour that is other
than straight, thus creating a contoured form
