Machining Quiz: Think You Can Handle the Fabricator’s Shop?
Which process is used to produce a flat surface on a machined workpiece?
Correct Incorrect Facing is a machining technique that removes material from the surface of a workpiece to create a flat, smooth finish, usually performed on a lathe. It is important for preparing the ends of cylindrical parts for further machining or assembly. While turning or milling can shape or cut the workpiece differently, facing is specifically aimed at flattening surfaces.
