What Are the Most Common Machining Technologies – Typical CNC Machining Process | CNCLATHING

CNC machining involves a variety of technologies combined with computer numerical control, to produce a designed part with machine tools. To obtain the required shape or feature, sometimes specific CNC machining process is needed in manufacturing. Here let’s get an understanding for the most common CNC machining techniques.

What Are the Most Common Machining Technologies?

1. Milling
Milling is a common machining process that uses a rotating milling cutter with several blades (cutting edges) to cut the stationary block material and create various surface. Milling including peripheral and face milling.

2. Turning
Unlike milling, turning is a machining operation that the cutting tool to remove material from a rotating workpiece held in a chuck on its axis, for creating a specific shape. The turning cutter is generally a non-rotary bit. Lathes are the most common turning machines, the lathe can also be used for the processing of drills, reamers, taps, dies and knurling tools, to produce shafts, pins, bushings and other workpieces with rotating surfaces.
3. Drilling
Drilling refers to the operation of drilling holes on solid materials with a drill, one of the most common machining techniques, the drill bit that placed directly against the material can create hundreds or even thousands of rotations per minute. CNC drilling machine is mainly used for drilling, reaming, chamfering and other processing, applied in automobile, mould, shipbuilding, aerospace and construction machinery industries.
4. Boring
Boring is a machining technology to enlarge an existing hole in the metals or other material, which often performs after other processes like drilling, the general purpose of boring is to get more precise dimensions and measurements of the hole. A special cutting tool with a curved tip will push through the cut hole in the rotating workpiece.
5. Reaming
Reaming is machining technique that rotary reamer to remove micro metal layer from the hole wall of workpiece, to improve the dimensional accuracy and surface quality of the hole drilled, because some of the material maybe left behind in the hole. For small and precision holes, reaming is an economical and practical process.
