CNC milling has become a cornerstone of modern manufacturing. It plays a crucial role in producing precision components for industries like aerospace, medical, and defence. If you're sourcing parts that need to be exact, fast, and reliable, this is a process worth knowing. You'll discover what the CNC milling process involves, how different machines and operations are used, and what steps are needed to get started.
This article sets out the practical pros and cons of both routes — not to persuade you one way or the other, but to help you weigh up what fits your business best.
Threaded holes are a small but essential detail in CNC part design. If they're not specified correctly, they can lead to fit issues, tool breakage, or even part failure during assembly. You'll learn how each threading method works, when to use them, and how to avoid common pitfalls. We'll also touch on materials, tooling limitations, and how to clearly communicate your thread specs. Whether you're prototyping or placing a production order, this guide helps you get threads right the first time.
