Types of CNC Machining Operations

The process involves several different computer-controlled machining operations—including mechanical, chemical, electrical, and thermal—removing the necessary material from the work piece to produce a custom-designed part or product. While chemical, electrical, and thermal machining processes will be covered in later sections, CNC lathe will explore some of the most common mechanical CNC machining operations, including:

drilling

milling

Turning

CNC drilling

ALLES CNC Drilling is a machining process that uses a multi-point drill to create a cylindrical hole in a work piece.

CNC milling

ALLES CNC Milling is a machining process that uses a rotating multi point cutting tool to remove material from a work piece.

CNC turning

ALLES CNC Turning is a machining process that uses a single point cutting tool to remove material from a rotating work piece.
