THE MACHINING OF CERAMICS IS PERFORMED AS A FINISHING OPERATION IN MANY INDUSTRIAL CERAMIC APPLICATIONS. IT IS THE PURPOSE OF THIS PAPER TO EVALUATE THE EFFECTS OF CORE DRILLING, SLICING, AND GRINDING ON VARIOUS CERAMIC MATERIALS. STOCK REMOVAL RATES, SHAPE GENERATION, TOOL SELECTION, AND TOLERANCE LIMITATIONS ARE DESCRIBED FOR PARTICULAR CERAMICS. COST IS AN IMPORTANT ISSUE AND IS SHOWN TO BE DEPENDENT ON CERAMIC MATERIAL CHARACTERISTICS WITH HIGH HARDNESS MATERIALS REQUIRING MUCH HIGHER COSTS BECAUSE OF TOOL WEAR AND SLOWER MACHINING RATES.
