In this guide, you’ll learn what a chamfer is, how it differs from other edge types, and why it matters in CNC manufacturing.

You're having difficulties with a precision component for a critical medical device. The part won't fit the assembly. Or the finish isn't right. Or the quality/consistency is hit and miss. Or any number of other issues. But your existing supplier – who perhaps has been reliable up until now – is pushing back: they did "exactly as instructed", they protest. They followed your drawings/CAD models "to the letter". So what went wrong? And how can it be fixed quickly and cost-effectively? You want a second opinion – is the issue with the supplier, the drawings or both?

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.
