machining
Cutting with lathes
Machining is the process of shaping material—usually metal—by cutting, drilling, grinding, or otherwise removing unwanted portions.
The term covers operations performed on lathes, mills, and other machine tools: The part requires precision machining to meet specifications.
A machine shop is where such work is done.
