Talk:Machining

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 am quite surprised too. I would have thought that the hobby was actually Model engineering (of which Machining is a major part naturally). Machining itself is, as you say, more than just a hobby activity. -- Derek Ross | Talk 08:18, 2005 Feb 5 (UTC)
