The machining is the most broad technological
process used in manufacturing.
Generaly, in the field of manufacturing, the term of
Machining means removal of material from a raw
material, by cutting small chips, in order to obtain
the desired shape and dimensions for final part.
The machining is strictly necessary when finished
part has to have very tight tolerances of
dimensions or when the roughness of surfaces
need to be very smooth.

Removal of chips, from a raw material, is performed
by a cutting tool that need a motion relative to raw
material. This motion, named cutting motion, could
be practically a rotation one or a translation one.
The next two examples will illustrate in a synopsis
way the cutting process, the chip removal from a raw
material.
First example is related to the case when the cutting
motion is a rotation one, like in turning machining.
The second example is related to the case when the
cutting motion is a translation one, like in shaping
machining.

The chip removal The chip removal
Chip removal is a technological
process by that a raw material
is transformed into a final part.
The condition for the existing of chip removal is
a relative motion between the raw material and
tool. This motion is named effective chip removal
motion and it has the speed V.
16 16
The ECONOMIC Chip removal The ECONOMIC Chip removal
There is only one speed V for each pair of raw
material and tool material, when the chip
removal is done in an economical way.
If the motion is a rotation one, then
V = ( . D . n)/1000 [m/min]
where- D [mm] is part or tool diameter
n [1/min] is the rotation freqeunce
