FSC 3408- Machining Centers & Way -Type Machines

Includes Manual and CNC: The following definitions apply to ‘machining centers’ and “way-type 

machines”.

• Machining Center refers to multipurpose numerically controlled machine tools for the 

complete and automatic machining of parts requiring multiple operations such as 

milling, drilling, tapping, boring and reaming, having an intricate tool storage device, 

and an intricate means for positioning various faces of the work piece. It must have 

facilities for automatic interchanging of varied cutting tools between successive 

operations.

Excluded from this class are multipurpose numerically controlled machine tools,

such as Boring-Drill Milling Machines, which require the use of an attachment or

accessory for tool storage and/or to position the various faces of a work piece. These 

types of equipment are classified in other appropriate classes within group 34.

• Way-Type Machine refers to a special machine tool of station type design consisting of 

individually mounted self-contained machine units and facilities for indexing the work 

piece to each station in a predetermined sequence. The machining unit(s) may be 

disassembled and rearranged to accommodate different work piece configurations. The 

machine can perform single or multiple operations on the work piece simultaneously or 

in sequence to each station.
