Types of machines used in
Metalworking Industries
Metalworking industries employ a wide

range of different types of industrial
tools to create metal parts that are of a
desired shape and size.
These machine tools are used for increasing the

production rate and it’s important to understand the
different types and what each one can do.

1. Lathe Machine
Lathes are metalworking machines that

rotate the workpiece to perform various
machining operations.
They are multipurpose machines that can

be used to perform operations like
cutting, sanding, knurling, drilling, boring,
threading, facing, and turning.

2. Milling Machine
A metalworking tool that uses rotary

cutters to remove undesired material.
The two major operations that a milling

machine performs are:
Face milling
Peripheral milling

3. Grinding Machine
With a grinding machine, an abrasive

wheel is made to rotate at relatively
high speeds. The rotating wheel
provides finishing to the workpiece by
removing a very small amount of
material along its surface, after which it
becomes smooth to touch.
Grinders can be used to shape, flatten,

and smooth the surfaces on pieces
that have been cut with other tools.

4. Drilling Machine
They are one of the most common types of machines that we commonly
see around us in metalworking shops. They’re often used for various
household repair works too.

5. Shaper Machines
A shaper machine uses a single-point cutting tool that moves in a linear

motion to perform a cutting operation on a workpiece. It has a simple
mechanism and is easy to operate too.

6. Broaching Machines
It cuts, forms, and shapes a variety of materials. It uses a toothed tool or a

broach to remove material from the workpiece.
There are two types of broaching processes:
Linear
Rotatory

7. Saw Machines
Band saw
Circular
saw
These machines are used to divide

Hacksaw
a metal or wood piece into smaller
parts.
www.senati.edu.pe
Band saw A great machine for cutting metal and wood. It can be used to create
long pieces, such as pipes or solid bars, in any desired length and in
large quantities.
Circular
saw In both handheld and table saw variants, use a round blade that
rotates or reciprocates to make the cut.
Hacksaw This hand-powered machine features a straight blade with many

small teeth for cutting through various metal objects, such as pipes,
rods, and even sheet metal.

8. Planer Machine
They are very similar to shaper machines. In fact, the only difference in this
machine is that the cutting tool is stationary and the workpiece is made to
move in a linear motion. Generally, these machines are also larger than
shaper machines.

9. Shearing Machine
It is used for cutting sheet metal into desired shapes and sizes. One thing
that makes these metalworking machines ideal for industrial shops is that
the shearing process does not form chips or any residual material, reducing
debris in the air and on the floor.

10. Hobbing Machines
These machines have drastically improved the quality and efficiency of

manufacturing processes. They are a variant of milling machine that use a
special type of cutting tool for producing high-precision shafts, gears,
splines, and other cylindrical parts that are needed for many different
applications.

11. Drill Press
A machine tool typically used in

metalworking industries to
perform drilling operations. It
can be either hand-powered or
electrically powered.

Now you can identify the main types of
machines used in metalworking industries.
