Drilling: This involves using a drill bit to create holes in the stainless steel workpiece.

Grinding: This involves using a grinding wheel or other abrasive tool to remove material from the surface of the stainless steel workpiece.

EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining): This involves using stainless steel electrodes and a small electrical charge to erode material from the surface of the stainless steel workpiece.

Laser Cutting: This involves using a high-powered laser to cut through the stainless steel workpiece.
