I. Read the texts and decide if the following statements correspond to the information in the texts or not.
1. The main machining processes are turning, sawing and broaching.
2. Drilling operations are operations in which holes are produced or refined by bringing a rotating cutter with cutting edges into contact with the workpiece.
3. Milling operations are operations that rotate the workpiece as the primary method of moving metal against the cutting tool.
4. Burnishing produces chips of different shapes and can be performed on a lathe, mill, or drill press.
5. A finished product is a workpiece that meets the specifications set out for that workpiece by engineering drawings or blueprints.
6. More recent, advanced machining techniques include electrical discharge machining (EDM), electro-chemical erosion, laser, or water jet cutting to shape metal workpieces.

Text A
The three principal machining processes are classified as turning, drilling and milling. Other operations falling into miscellaneous categories include shaping, broaching and sawing.
Turning operations are operations that rotate the workpiece as the primary method of moving metal against the cutting tool. Lathes are the principal machine tools used in turning.
Milling operations are operations in which the cutting tool rotates to bring cutting edges against the workpiece. Milling machines are the principal machine tool used in milling.
Drilling operations are operations in which holes are produced or refined by bringing a rotating cutter with cutting edges into contact with the workpiece. Drilling operations are done primarily in drill presses but not uncommon on the lathes or mills.
Miscellaneous operations are operations that strictly speaking may not be machining operations in that they may not be chip producing operations but these operations are performed by a typical machine tool.
Burnishing is an example of a miscellaneous operation. Burnishing produces no chips but can be performed at a lathe, mill, or drill press.
Text B
An unfinished workpiece requiring machining will need to have some material cut away to create a finished product. A finished product is a workpiece that meets the specifications set out for that work piece by engineering drawings or blueprints. For example, a workpiece may be required to have a specific outside diameter. A lathe is a machine tool that can be used to create that diameter by rotating a metal workpiece, so that cutting tool can cut metal away, creating a smooth, round surface matching the required diameter. A drill can be used to remove metal in the shape of a cylindrical hole. Other tools that may be used for various types of metal removal are milling machines, saws, and grinding tools. Many of these techniques are used in woodworking.
More recent, advanced machining techniques include electrical discharge machining (EDM), electro-chemical erosion, laser, or water jet cutting to shape metal workpieces.
As a commercial venture, machining is generally performed in a machine shop, which consists of one or more workrooms containing major machine tools. Many businesses maintain internal machine shops which support specialized needs of the business.
Machining requires attention to many details for a workpiece to meet the specifications set out in the engineering drawings or blueprints. Besides the obvious problems related to correct dimensions, there is the problem of achieving the correct surface smoothness on the workpiece. The inferior finish found on the machined surface of a workpiece may be caused by incorrect clamping, dull tool, or inappropriate presentation of a tool.
