We just learned about Hobbing in a Milling Machine.
Another type of metal cutting machine is a Skiving Machine.
Sometimes metal workers want to cut just a thin slice of metal off.
A skiving machine uses a sharp blade to slice down on a larger piece of metal and just cut off the perfect size every time.
