B23PLevel 3

METAL-WORKING NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR

**Definition:** This place covers:

Repairing ( B23P6/00 ), improving the properties ( B23P9/00 ), connecting ( B23P5/00 , B23P11/00 ), manufacturing ( B23P13/00 , B23P15/00 ), metal-working operations ( B23P17/00 ) but also to the assembling ( B23P19/00 , B23P21/00 ) of metallic parts. It also relates to universal machine tools ( B23P23/00 ) and to auxiliary treating of workpieces during machining ( B23P25/00 ).

It is evident that the scope of the subclass B23P is so broad that a proper detailed description of the subject matter appropriate for this place is possible only at the group level, e.g. B23P6/00 and even at subgroup level when required, e.g. B23P6/04 .

Provisions that are valid at a general level (e.g. of a kind appropriate to more than one of the main groups) are provided in the sections that follow.
