Magnesium CNC Machining

Magnesium, a usual material for die casting, is increasingly popular for CNC machining because it is lightweight and extremely machinable in regards to feed prices. Machined magnesium also generates exceptional surface area finishes due to shorter chips being produced throughout the machining process.
