CNC Lathe Machine

Turning & the Lathe

/

Turning on the lathe is one of the most common metalcutting operations. Lathes are particularly suited to machining relatively long, cylindrical workpieces, yet can create a variety of parts ranging from small watch components to massive propeller shafts. Part of the Fundamental Manufacturing Processes Video Series, this program provides a broad understanding of the turning […]

CNC EDM Machines

Electrical Discharge Machining

/

Electrical discharge machining, or EDM, shapes metal by creating sparks that melt tiny portions of the workpiece, and is an exceptionally diverse process that generates no cutting forces. EDM is especially useful in the production of fragile parts that cannot take the stress of conventional machining. Part of SME’s Fundamental Manufacturing Processes video series, this
