Machining Process Overview

 

Milling

 

Utilizes rotary cutters to remove material by advancing the tool into the workpiece. Ideal for creating complex shapes, slots, and contours in metals, composites, and engineered materials

 

Turning

 

Involves rotating the workpiece while the cutting tool moves linearly. Commonly used to manufacture cylindrical components such as shafts, pins, and bushings, which are critical in automotive, aerospace, and industrial applications.

 

Wood machining

 

Encompasses cutting, shaping, and finishing operations tailored for wood and wood-based materials. Requires specialized tooling to accommodate wood’s unique properties, making grade selection essential for optimal performance and longevity.
