The biggest advantage of the CNC machine is its automatic machining based on the programming sequences, which largely saves time and improves efficiency, as well as reduces mistakes during the manufacturing. How does CNC machining process work and how to get into CNC machining for hobbyists? Hope the following CNC tutorial for beginners can bring you closer to the technique. ......

When you open a door or a fence, it’s easy to a door latch mounted for closing. Latches can keep doors closed with a simple structure. With so many different types of latches available, and where are latches used, we are going to explain the latch definition and introduce its application and types, as well as how to select an ideal door latch. What are Latches ......

CAD software is often used by designers and engineers to create the drawing of the part to be processed with CNC machining services, facilities your ideas go to reality. While the creation of 3D CAD models usually takes much time, so CAD libraries is very helpful, it can provides a diversity of ready-made free CAD files download for users. To improve the efficiency of finding free 3D models, here we list best 8 sites and libraries that you can get free models from. ......

Performance and properties are important references when selecting materials for an application, such as yield strength and tensile strength. The mechanical properties of aluminium alloys differ based on their temper, in this article, we’ll introduce the yield strength definition and compare it with tensile strength, please check the aluminum alloy yield strength chart to get the numerical values of the yield strength of aluminum. ......

Bronze and brass are two kinds of copper alloys used from ancient times, they have lots of similarities, but their composition and appearance are quite different. How to tell the difference between brass and bronze, here we are going to show the comparison between brass and bronze, make a proper choice when brass vs bronze. ......

When we speaking of strong metals, the first option we think about usually is steel or titanium. They both have a broad range of alloys with varying alloying elements and amounts, so it’s challenging to determine which type to start with. For deeper understanding of the difference between titanium and steel, we present some points and the titanium and steel comparison chart in the following content. ......

Steel is the structural material of the construction and transportation industry on the earth. Its alloy elements give it many excellent characteristics, and also derive a variety of types. Based on the designation system represented by AISI and SAE, we typically use a four-digit number to name different alloy steels. What we’ll outline in this post is 4130 alloy steel, from its detailed composition and fabrication characteristics, to 4130 steel properties and uses, as well as AISI 4130 steel vs 4140. ......

Holes can be machined on different types of machines through cutting away the unwanted materials, what machining operations need to be executed on a mill? There is a series of g-codes that indicates the movement of tools when cutting a hole on CNC milling machines. In this article, we’ll introduce the g-code for hole machining with the specific operations. ......
