We have discussed the basic thread terms including thread diameters, crest, root and more definitions in the last article. Here we’ll focus on the thread dimensions explain and the standard imperial/metric thread sizes chart. Thread Sizes Explained - How to Understand/Read Thread Dimensions ......

Threads are a type of common feature produced on components including connectors, fasteners, couplings, filters, valves, manifolds, fittings and more. Understanding types of threads (UN/UNF, NPT/NPTF, BSPP, BSPT, etc.) and how to identify threads can help you work with these mechanical components or CNC parts. ......

CNC machines play an important role in the manufacturing industry. They can be used to make many different parts with CNC machining service, and CNC machines can provide a level of efficiency, accuracy and consistency. There are also various types of CNC machines used to accomplish this. All kinds of engraving machines, CNC lathes, CNC milling machines, etc. belong to a kind of CNC machine tools. In this article, we will introduce to you 7 common types of CNC machines, engraving machines, CNC drilling machines an......

In this tutorial, we will go over some of the top tips and tricks on how you can improve your designs and decrease cost while optimizing for manufacturing on a CNC milling process. We’ll cover everything from fillets, tapping, chamfers, setups, drilling, undercuts, and even text.     A CNC milling machine is used to transform blocks of raw stock into finished parts by cutting away material in a subtractive manufacturing process. They are generally three axes to a milling machine. The x-axis, which is le......

Besides CNC turning and milling, there are many other operations that can be done on CNC machines for different purposes. Here we are going to talk about facing operation, what is facing in lathe machine? How to perform facing on a lathe and which type of feed is needed? Follow us to go through all these questions and find the answers, understand more about the facing process. ......

There are hundreds of metal alloys available for CNC milling and turning, one of the best for your next project depends on a variety of factors, including price, weight, workability, strength, corrosion resistance, and cosmetic appearance. Here’s a closer look at the ones we use every day to help you pick, and what advantages they might have for your next project.   #1 Aluminum This has been the most general-purpose grade of aluminum. Magnesium, silicon, and iron are the primary alloy components. For......

Manufacturing is evolving to satisfy the needs of consumers and high-standard products. Often this means that machine workshops need to adjust their approach to standard measures or procedures, and how they set up to handle parts that they could have manufactured on a daily basis. The emergence of very hard specialist alloys and composites has been extremely important for machine shops: Dies and molds or energy machine parts.   Machining hard materials take precise attention to the nature of procedures and equi......

Whether it is machine tools or some instruments and equipment for CNC machining, they should be assembled and set up before use. The installation and set up of CNC machine tools refers to the things that should be completed when the CNC machine tools arrive at the user’s destination from the manufacturer and are installed in the customer’s workplace until the machine tools can work normally. This process is generally completed by the machine tool manufacturer with the cooperation of the user. Whether ......
