UPCME503 Machining Science & Machine Tools
Course objectives:
To provide clear view on theory of metal cutting and tool geometry and to impart
knowledge about mechanisms involved in the conventional and Non-
conventional machines.
Course Outcomes:
At the end of the course, the student will be able to

cutting tools
2. Acquire the mechanisms involved in lathe, shaper, drilling, milling, planer
machines
3. Understand the working principle of USM, LBM, ECM, EDM, AJM, EDM
