Milling is a machining process used to remove material from a workpiece by advancing a cutter into it. This process is typically performed by a milling machine, which employs rotating multi-point cutting tools to shape the workpiece. Milling can be done in various orientations, including horizontally or vertically, and it allows for a wide range of operations and features to be machined, such as slots, holes, and even complex surface contours.

The versatility of milling lies in its ability to produce a variety of shapes and features with high precision. The cutter’s teeth slice through the material, removing small chips and gradually shaping the workpiece. This method can be used on various materials, including metals, plastics, wood, and composites.

Milling machines range from simple manual equipment to complex CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machines, which use computer programming to automate and enhance the precision and efficiency of the milling process. The choice of milling equipment and techniques depends on the specific requirements of the project, including the material being machined, the complexity of the design, and the desired precision.

We have brand new CNC Mills to maintain the highest precision as well as traditional mills for flexibility.
