Machinability is the ease with which a metal can be cut permitting the removal of the material with a satisfactory finish at low cost. Materials with good machinability require little power to cut, can be cut quickly, easily obtain a good finish, and do not wear the tooling much.

What you mean by machinability?

Machinability defines the ease at which a material (mainly metal) can be cut or shaped while providing a satisfactory surface finish. A material with good machinability requires little power to cut, produces a smooth surface finish and minimizes wear on the tooling.
