machining
Let an agent explain machining and its processes, relay principles, tools and standards from manufacturing references, describe safety and modern computer control, and distinguish machining from forming, casting and additive manufacturing.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain machining and its processes, relay principles, tools and standards from manufacturing references, describe safety and modern computer control, and distinguish machining from forming, casting and additive manufacturing.
A manufacturing process that shapes a workpiece by removing material with cutting tools, including turning, milling, drilling, boring, counterboring, grinding and sawing in forms such as rip cuts, flat sawing and reciprocating sawing of wood and metal, performed on manual and computer-controlled machine tools; machining is a subtractive process central to metalworking and woodworking, governed by tolerances, tool materials and cutting parameters, and complemented by additive manufacturing.
What it is for: Shaping parts by material removal.
It can be explain processes and tools; relay parameters and standards; relay safety and CNC; distinguish from other manufacturing.
Distinguishing features
Material removal
Machine tool based
Tolerance and finish control
CNC automation
What it looks like
Machine tools cutting metal or wood with chips and coolant.
How it is recognised
Subtractive shaping with cutting tools
Turning, milling, drilling, boring, grinding, sawing
Forming and casting shape without removal; additive manufacturing builds up material

- How should standards be linked?
- The registry entry has merged aliases naming specific operations and wood sawing methods; should they be split off?
