MACHINE TOOLS
All machines and parts in the world are produced by machine tools
These machine tools produce the parts and components that make up various products by using the removal processing method, in which unnecessary parts are removed from the material. An example of the importance of machine tools is that they help to create parts for automobiles and trains that we use for daily transportation and also parts for home appliances that make our lives convenient. Every machine that exist in the world is directly or indirectly made by machine tools, and without them, our current life would not be possible at all. For this reason, they are also called " machines that makes machine or mother machines".
