The industrial sector depends heavily on machining procedures and machine tools because they make it possible to create complex, precise components out of a variety of materials. An overview of machining procedures and machine tools is given in this chapter, along with a discussion of their importance and major features. To achieve the correct form, size, and surface polish, a workpiece must undergo machining procedures that entail the removal of material. Turning, milling, drilling, grinding, and broaching are examples of common machining processes. To accomplish particular outcomes, each process makes use of unique cutting instruments and procedures. These machining procedures are carried out using machine tools. They are intended to hold and control the workpiece as the cutting tool completes the required tasks. Simple manually operated machines to sophisticated computer numerical control CNC machines with great accuracy and automation are all examples of machine tools.
