Home machining

Home machining involves using specialized tools and equipment to shape, cut, and assemble metal or other materials, typically in a personal workshop. Hobbyists or small-scale makers perform tasks like creating custom parts, repairing machinery, or prototyping designs. It requires knowledge of machine operation, safety practices, and material properties. Common tools include lathes, mills, and drills. Home machining enables precise fabrication outside professional factory settings, fostering innovation and self-sufficiency while emphasizing careful craftsmanship and safety awareness.
