FAQs of CNC Milling
What are the limitations of CNC turning?
CNC turning has some limitations like design restrictions. CNC turning is ideal for creating rotational, symmetric parts. But other methods such as CNC milling might be more appropriate for non-cylindrical parts.
What is the basic principle of CNC turning process?
As the piece rotates, a cutting tool is fed to the piece, which works at the material, cutting away to create the desired shape. Unlike other cutting sytles where the cutting tools themselves move and spin, in this case, the workpiece is rotated during the cutting process.
What materials are used in CNC turning?
The most common CNC turning materials include: aluminium, stainless steel, copper, brass, steel alloy, and various plastics.
How many types of CNC turning are there?
There are two broad categories of CNC turning centers, which include horizontal turning centers and vertical turning centers. Horizontal turning centers are far more common than their vertical counterparts.
