CNC machining, distinct from traditional machining, accomplishes the same metal cutting,
drilling, milling, boring, grinding, and other metal forming and removal functions, but with the key
difference of utilizing computer numerical control instead of manual operation by a skilled machinist.
Traditional machining involves a manual approach where a machinist operates the machine,
removing or forming metal based on specifications from designers and engineers.
This process employs various tools such as turn wheels, dials, switches, chucks, vices, and cutting
tools made of materials like hardened steel, carbide, and industrial diamond.
In CNC machining, the automated process is driven by code developed by programmers,
ensuring consistent precision from the first cut to subsequent repetitions.
Commonly used in digital manufacturing and occasionally in low-volume production,
CNC machining allows for easy revisions and alterations for modifications and diverse materials.
While traditional machining is still relevant, CNC machining has largely superseded it in
manufacturing, fabrication, and industrial production due to its enhanced precision and automation.
Product Details
CNC machining machines showcase the ability to cut through a wide spectrum of materials,
including aluminum, bronze, copper, ceramics, plywood, various steel types, stone, wood, zinc,
and other engineering materials.
This adaptability proves invaluable for the development of prototypes. Moreover, the machinery
permits users to make precise and rapid adjustments, ensuring satisfaction with the final product.

FAQ's
1. What are standard machining tolerances?
Standard machining tolerances stand at ± 0.005" or 0.13mm, indicating the acceptable range
for dimensions. If a CNC machining tool is specified with a tolerance of ± 0.01 mm, it implies
a permissible deviation of 0.01 mm in each machining operation.
When provided with a drawing, our CNC machining service can achieve part tolerances as fine
as ± 0.0002 in. In the absence of a drawing, all CNC parts align with our ISO 2768 medium
standard.
Projects demanding tighter tolerances, such as ±0.025mm or ±0.001", can be accommodated
with an engineering drawing outlining critical features.
2. What size of fillets are added when no specific fillet is specified by the 3D model
or drawing?
In cases where no specific fillet radius is specified in the 3D model or drawing, fillet radii will be
added by the machinist based on their judgment to enhance machining ease.
To ensure a desired fillet radius, specific details should be provided.
For a general understanding, internal vertical edge radii might surpass 1/3 of the depth,
and internal horizontal edges may either be maintained sharp or incorporate a radius within
the range of 0.5mm to 1mm.
