How to choose a good CNC machining manufacturer?
While there are many machine shops out there, choosing a good CNC machining manufacturer is really another story. A CNC machining factory is tasked with providing precision machining services based on your drawings or samples, and they must be able to understand your design well and put it into practice. Currently, competition is fierce in […]
The difference between CNC milling, CNC turning, and mill-turn machining
CNC milling and CNC turning are the two most common types of CNC machining. Both are controlled by computer program instructions and the cutting tool is guided to cut the material along a pre-determined path. CNC milling and CNC turning differ in the way they work. CNC milling relies on the rapid rotation of the […]
What you need to know about deep hole drilling
Drilling is a relatively common process, however, deep hole drilling is a very challenging task. Typically, a deep hole is defined by the the ratio of diameter to depth, initially referring to a hole with a depth-to-diameter ratio of more than five times, meaning that a hole with a ratio of 5:1 or greater between […]
What you need to know about 3-axis vs 5-axis CNC machining
CNC machining is a programmable manufacturing process in which the movement of tools and production equipment is controlled by pre-programmed codes and instructions. In contrast to traditional manual operations, CNC machining processes are controlled by computer programs that manage a complex series of mechanical movements, such as turning, milling, drilling and grinding, to machine precision […]
