A system comprising: a chilled workpiece comprising: a sheet material having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface; and an adhesive coupled to the first surface and/or the second surface of the sheet material; a machining apparatus , comprising: a machining tool operable to be numerically controlled to machine the chilled workpiece ; a support surface configured to support the chilled workpiece during machining by the machining tool ; a cooling system operatively coupled to the support surface , wherein the cooling system comprises a cooling fluid that radiantly cools the chilled workpiece via the support surface while the chilled workpiece is supported by the support surface ; and a controller operable to cause the cooling system to cool the support surface and thereby prevent a machining temperature of the adhesive from rising beyond a predetermined threshold temperature during machining of the chilled workpiece such that curing of the adhesive during machining of the chilled workpiece is prevented, and to maintain the machining temperature of the adhesive below an ambient temperature. a chilled workpiece comprising: a sheet material having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface; and an adhesive coupled to the first surface and/or the second surface of the sheet material; a sheet material having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface; and an adhesive coupled to the first surface and/or the second surface of the sheet material; a machining apparatus , comprising: a machining tool operable to be numerically controlled to machine the chilled workpiece ; a support surface configured to support the chilled workpiece during machining by the machining tool ; a cooling system operatively coupled to the support surface , wherein the cooling system comprises a cooling fluid that radiantly cools the chilled workpiece via the support surface while the chilled workpiece is supported by the support surface ; and a controller operable to cause the cooling system to cool the support surface and thereby prevent a machining temperature of the adhesive from rising beyond a predetermined threshold temperature during machining of the chilled workpiece such that curing of the adhesive during machining of the chilled workpiece is prevented, and to maintain the machining temperature of the adhesive below an ambient temperature. a machining tool operable to be numerically controlled to machine the chilled workpiece ; a support surface configured to support the chilled workpiece during machining by the machining tool ; a cooling system operatively coupled to the support surface , wherein the cooling system comprises a cooling fluid that radiantly cools the chilled workpiece via the support surface while the chilled workpiece is supported by the support surface ; and a controller operable to cause the cooling system to cool the support surface and thereby prevent a machining temperature of the adhesive from rising beyond a predetermined threshold temperature during machining of the chilled workpiece such that curing of the adhesive during machining of the chilled workpiece is prevented, and to maintain the machining temperature of the adhesive below an ambient temperature. <EOS>
