One of our many CNC milling machines in operation, producing intricate precision writing instrument components.CNC (Computer Numerical Control) milling is a type of CNC machining using a similar process to the operations performed by cutting and fixed drilling machines. Milling machines use a cylindrical rotating cutting tool and unlike traditional drilling they can move along multiple axes, allowing components to be made into many different shapes with slots, holes and other required features.
Milling machines can produce many different shapes from virtually every type of plastic that would be nearly impossible to do using traditional manual tooling methods. Most CNC milling machines also integrate a device for spraying fluid on to the cutting tool during operation to ensure the cutting tools are kept cool,especially do the CNC metal machining.
