Common sources of CNC spindle malfunctions

Signs of a CNC spindle going bad In CNC machine parlance, the spindle on a CNC machine is both its strength and its weakness at the same time. When bearings or other components in a spindle assembly start malfunctioning, it’s time to shut down and figure out what’s happening or there could be even more… Continue reading Common sources of CNC spindle malfunctions

Why can’t you get square corners on CNC?

Can you get square corners using CNC? Square corners are about as rare as hen’s teeth when it comes to CNC machining. While CNC bits are circular by design, they can produce a perfectly straight line cutting through all kinds of materials. And every machinist knows the intersection of two straight lines is a perfect… Continue reading Why can’t you get square corners on CNC?

Types of CNC Machines

CNC Machines improve productivity and reduce costs. There are many different types of Computer Numerical Control or CNC machines available for use in production lines, machine shops, and other locations. Each CNC machine is designed and engineered to reduce the time required to create a finished production piece. CNC machines also improve the quality of… Continue reading Types of CNC Machines

Differences between CNC Mill vs CNC Lathe

Understanding the differences in CNC technology Most machinists understand the differences between a Computer Numeric Control (CNC) Milling machine and a Lathe. Both machines are designed to remove material, but in different ways. The basic difference is how each tool treats the workpiece being milled. A Milling machine uses a spinning tool to make cuts… Continue reading Differences between CNC Mill vs CNC Lathe

Anatomy of a CNC machine

CNC machine anatomy explained Machinists and production floor supervisors love CNC machines. One CNC machine can replace between three and a dozen workstations in a production line. The time, money, improved output, numbers, and quality make a CNC machine every manufacturer’s dreams come true. So what is a CNC machine, what does it do, and… Continue reading Anatomy of a CNC machine
