ted to by james nasmyth 11 who was employed by maudslay in 1829 and nasmyth documented their use in his autobiography the process by which the master plane gages were produced dates back to antiquity but was refined to an unprecedented degree in the maudslay shop the process begins with three square plates each given an identification ex 1 2 and 3 the first step is to rub plates 1 and 2 together with a marking medium called bluing today revealing the high spots which would be removed by hand scraping with a steel scraper until no irregularities were visible this would not produce true plane surfaces but a ball and socket concave concave and convex convex fit as this mechanical fit like two perfect planes can slide over each other and reveal no high spots the rubbing and marking are repeated after rotating 2 relative to 1 by 90 degrees to eliminate concave convex potato chip curvature next plate number 3 is compared and scraped to conform to plate number 1 in the same two trials in this manner plates number 2 and 3 would be identical next plates number 2 and 3 would be checked against each other to determine what condition existed either both plates were balls or sockets or chips or a combination these would then be scraped until no high spots existed and then compared to plate number 1 repeating this process of comparing and scraping the three plates could produce plane surfaces accurate to within millionths of an inch the thickness of the marking medium the traditional method of producing the surface gages used an abrasive powder rubbed between the plates to remove the high spots but it was whitworth who contributed the refinement of replacing the grinding with hand scraping sometime after 1825 whitworth went to work for maudslay and it was there that whitworth perfected the hand scraping of master surface plane gages in his paper presented to the british association for the advancement of science at glasgow in 1840 whitworth pointed out the inherent inaccuracy of grinding due to no control and thus unequal distribution of the abrasive material between the plates which would produce uneven removal of material from the plates with the creation of master plane gages of such high accuracy all critical components of machine tools i e guiding surfaces such as machine ways could then be compared against them and scraped to the desired accuracy 9 the first machine tools offered for sale i e commercially available were constructed by matthew murray in england around 1800 12 others such as henry maudslay james nasmyth and joseph whitworth soon followed the path of expanding their entrepreneurship from manufactured end products and millwright work into the realm of building machine tools for sale important early machine tools included the slide rest lathe screw cutting lathe turret lathe milling machine pattern tracing lathe shaper and metal planer which were all in use before 1840 13 with these machine tools the decades old objective of producing interchangeable parts was finally realized an important early example of something now taken for granted was the standardization of screw fasteners such as nuts and bolts before about the beginning of the 19th century these were used in pairs and even screws of the same machine were generally not interchangeable 14 methods were developed to cut screw thread to a greater precision than that of the feed screw in the lathe being used this led to the bar length standards of the 19th and early 20th centuries american production of machine tools was a critical factor in the allies victory in world war ii production of machine tools tripled in the united states in the war no war was more industrialized than world war ii and it has been written that the war was won as much by machine shops as by machine guns 15 16 the production of machine tools is concentrated in about 10 countries worldwide china japan germany italy south korea taiwan switzerland us austria spain and a few others machine tool innovation continues in several public and private research centers worldwide drive power sources edit a ll the turning of the iron for the cotton machinery built by mr slater was done with hand chisels or tools in lathes turned by cranks with hand power david wilkinson 17 machine tools can be powered from a variety of sources human and animal power via cranks treadles treadmills or treadwheels were used in the past as was water power via water wheel however following the development of high pressure steam engines in the mid 19th century factories increasingly used steam power factories also used hydraulic and pneumatic power many small workshops continued to use water human and animal power until electrification after 1900 18 today most machine tools are

tools can be operated manually or under automatic control 19 early machines used flywheels to stabilize their motion and had complex systems of gears and levers to control the machine and the piece being worked on soon after world war ii the numerical control nc machine was developed nc machines used a series of numbers punched on paper tape or punched cards to control their motion in the 1960s computers were added to give even more flexibility to the process such machines became known as computerized numerical control cnc machines nc and cnc machines could precisely repeat sequences over and over and could produce much more complex pieces than even the most skilled tool operators citation needed before long the machines could automatically change the specific cutting and shaping tools that were being used for example a drill machine might contain a magazine with a variety of drill bits for producing holes of various sizes previously either machine operators would usually have to manually change the bit or move the work piece to another station to perform these different operations the next logical step was to combine several different machine tools together all under computer control these are known as machining centers and have dramatically changed the way parts are made citation needed examples edit this section does not cite any sources please help improve this section
