The waste, and amount of waste, from a machining process depends entirely on the material being machine and the specific process. The only "waste" produced in every machining process is heat in some form or another.

For a typical metal cutting operation you're going to have smaller bits of metal removed from a larger workpiece called "chips". There may also be cutting fluids consisting of heavy mineral oils and/or emulsified oils that break down with time and require disposal at a recycling center.

What is waste from machining called?

The waste depends on the process and material. If you are cutting metal, you'll have lots of little "chips" to deal with afterward.


What material has fire safety concerns associated with machining?

There would be fire safety concerns when machining a highly combustible metal, such as magnesium. Machining can produce significant heat in the material being machined, and produces a waste product such as lathe turnings, chips or dust that is very easy to ignite. This results in a Class D fire, and standard ABC rated extinguishers are ineffective in extinguishing such as fire.

What is proof machining?

Proof machining means>> If part have too much dispensable material to remove through out machining than machining is done on the same to remove all material till it will have only 2~3 mm to achieve its final dimensions , this process is called proof machining or if part have 1~2 mm material to remove for coming it final dimensions then Cutting tool path proving done & is called proof machining.


What is field machining?

I'd say it's machining carried out "in the field". Most machining is done in facilities specifically constructed and equipped for the work to be done. When the workpiece that requires machining cannot be transported to one of these facilities you need to bring the appropriate tools and machinery to the workpiece.
