Planning Machine

It is used to perform almost the same operations as are done on a shaper but jobs of comparatively larger size are machined on the planner. 

Grinding Machine

Grinding machine is used to finish the work pieces. Like other machining processes, grinding is also a process of removing metal, but during grinding process comparatively very small volume of metal is removed to bring the work piece to good finishing size. 

Milling Machine

A machine tools which is used for producing flat or profiled surface, grooves or slots with the help of revolving multiple tooth cutter is known as milling machine. Milling machine occupies a place opposite to lathe.

Shaper Machine

Shaper is a versatile machine which is primarily intended for producing flat surfaces. These surfaces may be horizontal, vertical or inclined. This machine involves the use of single point cutting tool held in a properly designed tool box mounted on a reciprocating ram.

Lathe Machine

A lathe is a powered mechanical device in which the work is held and rotated against a suitable cutting tool for producing cylindrical forms in the metal, wood or any other suitable machinable material.

Machine Shop

The shop where most of the work is performed on different machines is called machine shop. In Machine shop, the raw material is cut, machined, formed or shaped with the help of machines. Different machines used in machine shop are:

1. Lathe machine
2. Shaper
3. Milling machine
4. Planning machine
5. Drilling machine
6. Grinding machine
7. Threading machine
