| This is the first stage of machining where the object is to quickly remove the bulk of the waste material, normally with the aid of a ripper cutter (see cutters below), this gives the coarse stepped feature seen in the workpiece above. | ![]() |
| Semi Roughing |
| This stage of machining generally uses a smaller cutter than roughing, typically an end mill, although the aim is still to remove the bulk of the waste material. |
| Semi Finishing | |
| The next stage, using a relatively large ball nosed cutter, is to start to form the final profile of the workpiece, removing the steps generated in the two above procedures. | ![]() |
| Finishing | |
