I am amazed that the only page related to machining is one concerned with it only as a hobby. I also did searches on a number of terms familiar to me from my years as a professional machinist. I was unable to find such terms as ' chuck', ' collet', ' surface plate', 'vertical lathe', ' centerless grinding', |'screw tap', 'screw die', ' tooling fixture', ' tooling jig', ' guage' as a noun (except as regards railroads), ' punch press', ' punch die', ' set screw', ' die maker', etc., etc.
I will attempt to write some articles in this category, and I invite others to criticize my inevitable errors.

I have removed the following link from this article:
It is intentionally unlinked as I believe the inserter is intending to promote his/her product. The contents of the PDF lead into a promotion of a product. I am listing it here for others to review, however, because it does contain other information that might be useful. I leave it to others to determine whether it should be included. -- AbsolutDan (talk) 16:58, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
I happened on this page and found that it was aimed in the right direction but had some technical errors in need of fixing. For example, forming is not machining. It is its own process. Machining is needed to produce the tools used form forming. Stuff like that. There are a few other corrections and deletions that were made. I think the article has additional fixes needed but I'm out mental energy to continue at this time. I will come back. I welcome others' corrections and discussion. Kudos to whomever got this article started. Begs ( talk) 07:12, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
This article still has the smell of the original article dating back Nov 2003 "Machining metal in the amateur machine shop". Machining is more than that. And this 18th century lathe picture is awful in this context ! May be good in history pages but not here.

From the article, "Conventional machining, one of the most important material removal methods..." I mean, I get it. I understand how it can be defined that way. But "material removal methods"? When you think of "machining", you really consider, "Hmm, what are the possible ways of removing material from something?" That seems a tad abstract and formal. We might as well define the art of sculpting as yet another "one of the most important material removal methods..." My suggestion would be, "machining is one of the most important techniques in manufacturing products out of metal. " [unsigned]
The section on orbital drilling seems out of place on this page. Shouldn't it be moved to drilling? Wilhkar ( talk) 01:37, 17 February 2010 (UTC)Wilhkar
I don't agree with the classification used, while it highlights lathe, mill and drill which are important, the miscellaneous section ignores processes like shaping, and shaping is a basic and distinct technique that can't be subsumed under another. Can I suggest a more logical approach, based on the six main swarf generating methods (note that other techniques like broaching and reaming can be classed as sub-types of the first six):
1 - work rotates, axial cutter movement - lathe 2 - cutter rotates, linear work movement - mill 3 - work stationary, rotating cutter with axial movement - drill 4 - work stationary, single edge linear cutter movement - shaper 5 - linear work movement, cutter stationary - planer 6 - work stationary (or linear movement) - multi-edge linear cutter movement - saw 7 - miscellaneous — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.148.251.81 ( talk) 14:38, 7 April 2013 (UTC)
As an outsider needing to know what "machining" means I came across this excellent article: it is well written, well structured, comprehensible to noninitiates, and contains useful internal links. Thanks to everyone, whoever you are, who turned this page into the high-quality informative text it now is. -- Remotelysensed ( talk) 09:14, 21 September 2014 (UTC)
