Textbook Question
Chapter 25, Problem 48SDP
The cost of machining and turning centers is considerably higher than for traditional machine tools. Since many operations performed by machining centers also can be done on conventional machines, how would you go about justifying the high cost of these centers? Explain, with appropriate examples.

For the following application, identify one or more nontraditional machining processes that might be used, and present arguments to support your selection. Assume that either the part geometry or the work material (or both) preclude the use of conventional machining. The application is a through-hole in the shape of the letter L in a 12.5 mm (0.5 in) thick plate of glass. The size of the "L" is 25 by 15 mm (1.0 by 0.6 in) and the width of the hole is 3 mm (1/8 in).
