CNC Milling

Process Overview
A milling machine is a machine tool used for the complex shaping of metal and other solid materials. Its basic form is that of a rotating cutter or endmill which rotates about the spindle axis (similar to a drill), and a movable table to which the workpiece is affixed.

Milling machines can perform a vast number of complex operations, such as slot cutting, planing, drilling, rebating, routing, etc.

There are two main types of mill: the vertical mill and the horizontal mill. In the vertical mill the spindle axis is vertically oriented. A horizontal mill has the same sort of xā€“y table, but the cutters are mounted on a horizontal arbor across the table.

CNC Milling Lead time
Weather you need a few prototypes or several thousand parts, we can meet your requirements quickly using the technology that is best suited for your project. We can provide quick quotations and speedy delivery.

Rapid Prototyping Service
Our Rapid Machine Shop Prototyping Service guarantees delivery of your parts in days instead of weeks! Delivery time will depend on the drawings and material availability. Post finishing could require additional 24 to 48 hours.
 
Production Runs
For production runs we typically have a 2-4 week lead time but can begin shipments on a weekly, bi-weekly, or daily basis to suit your needs.
Example parts
Custom tooling, enclosures, engine components, etc.

Tolerances
Our typical finished tolerances are +/- .005" (5 mils) positional accuracy, and a +/- .003" (3 mills) repeatability from part to part. Please keep in mind that the tighter the tolerances required the more expensive a part may be. For instance a part that has a .002" tolerance may well be 50% more expensive than a part with a .010" tolerance. This scenario may also impact lead times. This should be taken into consideration when designing for manufacturability.
