A fly cutter is a rotary cutting tool that attaches to a milling machine spindle and rotates to remove material. The cutting bit extends from the tool body and cuts in an arc pattern with each rotation, creating a smooth, flat surface.
The tool creates flat surfaces because the cutting edge is set at a consistent height. Each pass removes a thin material layer, and the milling machine’s feed movement creates a flat surface. This process is sometimes called “fly cutting” because of the cutting edge’s sweeping motion.

A CNC fixture is a device that holds and positions a workpiece during machining operations. Fixtures keep parts stable and correctly aligned, while cutting tools remove material. They make sure each part comes out the same way every time.

Boring machining involves enlarging and finishing a predrilled hole to exact dimensions and surface finish using a single-point cutting tool or a bored head containing several tools. This is crucial to achieving the precision and accuracy required by complex machinery.

CNC Precision Machining stands for Computer Numerical Control Machining. It is a manufacturing process where pre-programmed computer software controls the movement of factory tools and machinery. This process can control a range of complex machinery, from grinders and lathes to mills and routers.

CNC machines vary widely, each designed for specific manufacturing tasks. Key types include milling machines, lathes, plasma cutters, and more, each offering unique capabilities for precision cutting and shaping materials.

CNC drilling is a process in which a CNC machine drills holes in materials. The machine follows exact instructions from a computer program, ensuring holes are drilled with precise size, depth, and location. This process is key to component manufacturing and product production and is used in various industries.

CNC turning is a machining process that uses a computer-controlled machine to shape materials. The workpiece is held on a rotating spindle. As it spins, a cutting tool moves along the material, removing layers to form the desired shape. The CNC system controls the movement of the tool and the cutting speed.

CNC milling is a subtractive manufacturing process. It uses a rotating cutting tool to remove material from a workpiece. This process is controlled by a computer program, which tells the machine exactly how to cut. CNC stands, meaning the machine follows specific instructions. Milling machines shape materials like metals, plastics, and composites into precise parts.

I am often amazed at the impact of CNC machining on the manufacturing industry. Our work is a blend of art and science. CNC Machining
