  • sawing
  • planning, shaping
  • drilling
  • broaching
  • reaming
  • electron beam
  • laser
  • electro-chemical
  • boring, turning
  • barrel finishing
  • electrolytic grinding
  • roller burnishing
  • grinding
  • electro-polishing
  • polishing
  • lapping
  • superfinishing
  • sand casting
  • hot rolling
  • forging
  • investment casting
  • extruding
  • cold rolling, drawing
