The basic mechanism involved in metal cutting is a localized shear deformation on the work material immediately ahead of the cutting edge of the tool. Cutting processes work by causing fracture of the material that is processed. Usually, the portion that is fractured away is in small sized pieces, called chips. Common cutting processes include sawing, shaping (or planing), broaching, drilling, grinding, turning and milling.
