GRADING
Wasteful of material
Chips generated in machining are wasted material.
Although these chips can usually be recycled, in terms of
the unit operation, the material that is removed is waste.
Time consuming
A machining operation generally takes more time to
shape a given part than alternative shaping processes,
such as casting, powder metallurgy, or forming
Machinabi
lity
Machinability is a system property that indicates how easily a
material can be machined at low cost.
Roughing
Removes large amounts of material from
starting workpart
Creates shape close to desired geometry, but leaves
some material for finish cutting
High feeds and depths, low speeds
Finishing
Completes part geometry (Final dimensions, tolerances,
and finish)
Low feeds and depths, high cutting speeds
