machining
manufacturing process of material removal by cutting the workpiece
electrical discharge machining
metal fabrication process whereby a desired shape is obtained by using electrical discharges to remove material
scraping
manufacturing process
grinding
abrasive machining process that uses a grinding wheel as a cutting tool
gear cutting
certain machining processes for creating a gear
drilling
cutting process that uses a drill bit to cut a hole of circular cross-section in solid materials
gear shaping
Cutting gears with a shaper tool

hole making in which the effective material thickness is increased with the aid of friction
counterbore
flat-bottomed hole allowing a screw head to sit flush with a surface, or a tool for making such a hole
turning
machining process in which the workpiece rotates around its own axis while a cutting tool is moved machine-guided along the contour to be generated
laser cutting
technology that uses a laser to cut materials
broaching
machining process that uses a toothed tool, called a broach, to remove material
