CNC lathe machines are equipped with CNC milling tools to offer the best of both worlds—the flexibility of milling and the high productivity of turning. The workpiece can be positioned to either rotate at a high speed or placed at an angle. Mill-turning works well for manufacturing parts tha...
G90 puts the CNC machine in absolute mode, meaning it will go to the position of X10 Y10, for example, from anywhere else. Conversely, G91 tells the machine to operate in incremental, or relative mode. This means that the machine will move 10 units along the x-axis and 10 units ...
What is G-Code’s meaning? G-Codeis the most common language used to control CNC machines. CNC stands for Computer Numerical Control. It’s one type of CNC programming that CNC programmers use, the other type beingCAM programming. CAM programs will generate g-code from a CAD drawing, but...
As machined milled parts normally have a roughness of around 3.2μm (1.6μm depending on whether the machines are relatively new). When it comes to turned parts, we can reach a roughness of 0.8μm on the surface meaning that the speed of machining does not need to be adjusted. How do...

Cheap CNC Dos and Don'ts: CNC is a popular topic on this website. I've built one, and I would like to take a moment to share some of my thoughts on the matter to those thinking about making their own. There's a gazillion different DIY CNC machines on the
Electrical discharge has an erosive effect, meaning it can deform materials to which it’s exposed. Electric discharge CNC machines take advantage of this by producing controlled sparks to reshape materials. Materials are placed between a top and bottom electrode, after which the computer dictates ...
Pridestaff, a national staffing company, is seeking an experienced CNC Machine Operator for one of their Fabrication Manufacturing clients. We are looking for someone that can perform set-ups, program, and operational functions on a variety of CNC and/or manual machines. ...
While precision machining can be done on standard 3-axis CNC machines, it frequently makes use of multi-axis machines, which are capable of greater accuracy and detail. Multi-axis CNC machines typically have four, five, or more controlled axes and are ideally suited for precision machining. The...
TEC CNC has been servicing machines since the early 90’s, and we have extensive experience when it comes to CNC machinery. OEM rates have been steadily increasing every year, but we offer EXTREMELY competitive rates, meaning more money in your pocket at the end of the day. ...
