What is CNC Turning?
CNC Turning Definition CNC turning, a short for Computer Numerical Control Turning, is a modern automatic CNC machining process to creat cylindrical components by removing material from a workpiece. It uses a computer control system to precisely control the movement of cutting tool, and shape out the desired dimensions in a high effecient way. For […]
What is CNC Milling?
CNC milling, a typical CNC machining type, produces custom designed part by removing materials under computerized controls and rotating multi-point cutting tools. It is an ideal machining process to creat custom parts in different shapes. The available CNC milling materials could be metal, plastic, glass and wood. The CNC milling process begins with a CAD […]

304 vs. 316 Stainless Steel for CNC Machining
Stainless steel CNC machining is widely used to creat precision stainless steel components because of its corrosion resistance. There are many grades of stainless steel. Their formability, strength and machinability are different. Grade 304 stainless steel, also known as A2 stainless steel, contains 18% to 20% chromium and 8% to 10% nickel, and grade 316 […]
Why Stainless Steel Is Hard to Machine?
Stainless steel is one of the main CNC machining materials in our machine shop. Compared with the high quality carbon steel, stainless steel material has added Cr, Ni, N, Nb, Mo and other alloying elements. The increase of these alloying elements not only improves the corrosion resistance of steel, but also has a certain effect […]
