There is a firm unguided belief amongstudents that CNC machines produce components without any variation. Considering these itwas decided that the experiment would be ‘the measurement of process capability of an NCmachining process’.2.1 Nature of ExperimentsFeisel and Rosa [4] in their thought-provoking article entitled ‘The Role of the Laboratoryin Undergraduate Engineering Education’ identify three basic types of
