1) Facing
This is a process of machining the end or face to produce a smooth, flat surface which is square with the axis of the work. Facing is carried out for the following reasons:
i) To square the end surface
ii) To have an accurate surface from which measurement could be taken
iii) To reduce work to the required length
Cutting is carried out at right angle to the axis of the work.
