What does machining involve?

Machining involves using tools contained in a (CNC) machine to remove material in a controlled manner until you have created a nice product that has the desired shape and size. The pieces of material removed are also called “chips” (shavings).

Metalworking is a beautiful and interesting profession in which you are busy making a top product from a starting material for your customer. You start by making a drawing or a step file (3D model) using Cad/Cam software to program as many operations as possible (drilling, tapping, milling, deburring) in one go on your CNC machine. Then you put the tools in the machine and start machining the product.

They come in inexperienced and you see your colleague getting better and better taking the products to the next level
