What is precision CNC machining?
CNC machining, short for computer numerical control machining, is a prevalent manufacturing method employing automated, high-speed cutting tools to shape metal or plastic stock into desired designs. CNC machines contain 3-axis, 4-axis, and 5-axis milling machines, lathes, milling-turning, and routers. They each have unique approach to cutting parts. In CNC milling, the cutting tool is mounted on a rotating spindle which moves across the material to cut away excess, shaping the workpiece into the desired form.Conversely, CNC turning involves the raw material or workpiece spinning on a spindle, while the cutting tool remains fixed in position.CNC milling and turning, also known as multi-axis machining or mill-turn machining, combines both milling and turning operations in a single machine.This process allows for the simultaneous use of multiple cutting tools to create complex parts with both rotational and prismatic features.
Precision CNC Machining Capabilities
CNC milling removes materials from the workpiece to create custom-designed parts with flat surfaces using cutting tools or multi-point milling cutters. With our 3-axis, 4-axis, and 5-axis CNC milling services, you can get milled parts with tight tolerance up to 0.001mm. Both continuous 5-axis machining and indexed 5-axis machining services are provided by us.
CNC turning is a precision machining process that efficiently removes material from the exterior of a cylindrical rod by utilizing a rapidly spinning cutting tool. CNC lathes are highly versatile machines known for their exceptional repeatability, making them exceptionally well-suited for wide applications, including rapid prototyping and both low and high-volume production.

Precision CNC Machining Finishes
As Machined
Components as provided as cut, no additional therapy applied. Sharp edges are damaged and deburred for risk-free handling. For any type of crucial sides that need to be left sharp, please note and specify them in your drawings. For metals, as machined can be Ra 1.6 or Ra 3.2. For plastics, as machined usually refers to Ra 3.2.
Anodizing
Anodizing enhances aluminum parts' rust resistance, boosting wear resistance and firmness, and safeguarding the metal surface. Type II and Type III are both available. For Type II, it can be in different colors, clear, black, red, and gold are most usual. Type III layer is thicker and is better put on resistant and deteriorating immune.
Spray Coating
Spray coating normally includes the application of spray painting, powder coating, and Teflon coating for different covering materials and technologies. Spray painting and powder finish can have rich shades like black, white, red, and others. For powder coating, it can be glossy and matte. For spray painting, it can be shiny, matte, textured, metal.
Metal Plating
Electroplating is a surface treatment procedure that can enhance the deterioration resistance, hardness, conductivity, attachment, and decoration of sheet metal components. We offer vast layering options, gold plating, silver plating, zinc plating, copper plating, nickel plating, and chrome plating.
Mechanical Finishes
Mechanical finishing is a process that involves generation of different-looking surface textures on metal by brushing, tumbling, or bead blasting the surface. Its benefits lie in the aesthetic appeal and is also a great choice for covering and blending any imperfections or unwanted lines and marks that might appear as a result of the manufacturing process.
Part Marking
Part marking is an economical way to add logos or custom-made text to your layouts and is frequently used for custom components. Laser engraving and silk screening are 2 cost-effective techniques that permit better versatility with your design. They are an excellent alternative for logos and lettering that are tough to create with manufacturing alone.
