The History of Machining
Machining goes all the way back to 700B.C. Although, unlike the modern conveniences of digitized machinery today, during this time a manual lathe was used.
Jump ahead to 1700A.D. when steam power was introduced into the process. This offered a slightly more efficient model of machining and played a large role in the Industrial Revolution. Not only did it allow for mass production, but also further advancement in processes and innovation.
