CUTTING

Common cutting processes:
Machining:
• turning → rotating workpiece against 1. tool → cylindrical shapes
• 2. → rotating cutting tool to remove material from 3. workpiece
• drilling → drill 4. used for round 5.
• grinding → grinding 6. to smooth or sharpen edges

Shearing → pair of 7. to cut metal to create straight lines → 8. of metal

9. → continuous blade to make straight 10. → thicker or larger metal pieces

11. cutting → precise method using laser 12. → intricate shapes, thin materials

Plasma cutting → high-temperature plasma 13. → thicker materials

Water 14. cutting → high-pressure water → very clean cuts, no 15.

EDM → electrical 16. → very hard metals for complex shapes
