CNC Turning

CNC turning is a machining technique that can produce a wide variety of shapes. This process relies on the rotation of a lathe to machine the material, while a cutting tool simultaneously shapes the workpiece and removes excess material. You can choose from a variety of lathe types, such as turret lathes, engine lathes, or specialized lathes.

The entire process enables you to create a variety of holes, slots, threads, and tapers. This flexibility makes CNC turning ideal for manufacturing a wide range of complex parts.

That's why many manufacturers prefer CNC turning to create products like bats, camshafts, clubs, signs, and musical instruments. Originally a manual process, turning is now most commonly performed using computer numerical control (CNC). Through programming code, CNC lathes operate automatically, improving machining accuracy and efficiency. This technology makes the production of complex parts easier and more reliable.

Drilling

Drilling is an ideal machining process that utilizes multiple drill bits to create holes in a workpiece. The machine pushes the drill bits vertically into the material being machined, creating a clean hole while allowing waste material to fall through. Specialized drilling machines can even drill at an angle, increasing the flexibility and versatility of the process. This makes drilling a popular method for creating holes of various shapes and sizes in the manufacturing and machining industries.

There are many different types of drill bits available for specific applications, whether you need to create a shallow pilot hole (like with a spot drill) or want to reduce chipping (like with a peck drill). Additionally, there are drill bits that can be used to enlarge existing holes, like with a chuck reamer. This machining process is widely used in industries such as medical, construction, transportation, and electronics.

End Milling

End milling is a machining technique similar to turning that uses a multi-point cutting tool to remove material from a workpiece. In CNC milling, the tool and workpiece rotate in the same direction. However, with manual milling, the two workpieces rotate in opposite directions. This flexible machining method, capable of producing complex shapes and detailed surfaces, is widely used in various manufacturing industries.

You can use different types of milling machines, such as end mills, spiral mills, and chamfer mills. These milling machines can be horizontal or vertical and have multiple axes, depending on the type of workpiece you're machining. There are also many different types of milling machines, including manual milling machines, standard milling machines, universal milling machines, and others suitable for making gears, cutting slots, grooves, or creating more complex shapes. One common milling tool is an end mill.
