Abstract
Machine tools are machines used to cut, grind, shear or forge metal products into their intended shapes by removing unwanted material. Because processing methods vary so widely, there are many different types of machine tools. They can be grouped, according to the United Nations industry categories (SITC), into cutting machine tools, which include milling machines, lathes and other metal cutting machines, and shaping tools, such as presses, which shape products without cutting away any material (Fig. 19.1-1).
