Characteristics of Machining
Process Turning Characteristics Turning and facing operations are performed on all types of materials; requires skilled labor; low production rate, but medium to high rates can be achieved with turret lathes and automatic machines, requiring less skilled labor. Internal surfaces or proles, with characteristics similar to those produced by turning; stiness of boring bar is important to avoid chatter. Round holes of various sizes and depths; requires boring and reaming for improved accuracy; high production rate, labor skill required depends on hole location and accuracy specied. Variety of shapes involving contours, at surfaces, and slots; wide variety of tooling; versatile; low to medium production rate; requires skilled labor. Flat surfaces and straight contour proles on large surfaces; suitable for low-quantity production; labor skill required depends on part shape. Flat surfaces and straight contour proles on relatively small workpieces; suitable for low-quantity production; labor skill required depends on part shape. External and internal at surfaces, slots, and contours with good surface nish; costly tooling; high production rate; labor skill required depends on part shape. Straight and contour cuts on ats or structural shapes; not suitable for hard materials unless the saw has carbide teeth or is coated with diamond; low production rate; requires only low skilled labor.
