Machined
Conventional machining, one of the most important material removal methods, is a collection of material-working processes in which power-driven machine tools, such as lathes, milling machines, and drill presses are used with a sharp cutting tool to mechanically cut the material to achieve the desired geometry. Machining is a part of the manufacture of almost all metal products. It is not uncommon for other materials to be machined. A person who specializes in machining is called a machinist. Machining is also a hobby. A room, building, or company where machining is done is called a machine shop. Much of modern day machining is controlled by computers using Computer Numerical Controlled (CNC) machining.
