Machining Technologies

Machining Overview All products that we use in our everyday life have been machined in one way or another. Our modern civilization depends on machining technologies. Machine tools range from simple hand operated machines to Computer Narrated Control (CNC) machines. Machining make it capable to produce precision parts in mass production at a low cost. Having high productivity from machines allows for higher wages for workers. This is why countries like America have such a good economy and high standards of living.
