Custom CNC Milling
Our Service
Let us bring your product design or idea to life with premium custom CNC milling services. We offer custom CNC milling services for nearly every design and in a wide variety of metals and plastics. Using our state-of-the-art multi-axis machines, our team of highly qualified engineers and machinists can get your product right the first time. We also have a dedicated quality control team that tests and ensures that all CNC machined parts meet our customers’ requirements and required standards and regulations. Our CNC milling services complement our many other manufacturing and finishing capabilities to provide a comprehensive and satisfying solution for your product development project.
Our Factory Division
Our production Milling Division has the equipment, staff, software andautomation to produce your parts quickly and consistently. We offer 3-axis4-axis and simultaneous 5-axis machining to mass produce milled parts ofany complexity or material. Our 40+ milling machines, including 3-axis, 4-axis and 5-axis CNC milling centers, are capable of producing rapidprototypes and low-volume precision parts with highly functional andcomplex geometries. CNC milling is ideal for creating parts with flat andjagged geometries such as slots and grooves, as well as post-machining toadd detail to turned, 3D printed or molded parts.We specialize in producing functional parts such as brackets, gears, fittingshousings, molds, engine parts, medical devices, punches and dies, makingthem ideal for many industries.
CNC Milling Processes
3-Axis & 5-Axis Milling,Lead times from 5 days
3-Axis CNC Milling Service
The most widely used type of CNC milling machine.The full use of the X,Y,and Z directions makes a 3 Axis CNC mill useful for a wide variety of work.
4-Axis CNC Milling Service
This type of router allows the machine to rotate on a vertical axis, movingthe workpiece to introduce more continuous machining.
5-Axis CNC Milling Service
These machines have three traditional axes as well as two additional rotaraxes.A 5-axis CNC router is, therefore, able to machine 5 sides of aworkpiece at in one machine without having to remove the workpiece anreset.

Differences Between CNC Milling and Turning
There are distinct differences between CNc turning and cNc miling. CNc miling uses a moving tool along a stationary workpiece to remove raw materialDuring CNc turning, the workpiece rotates while a cutting tool moves along the material to create a shape. CNc turning is good for projects that requirecyindrical parts. CNc miling should be used for parts that do not require a cylindrical shape and may be used as a secondary finish to add definition.Complex parts that require prismatic and cylindrical features may use a combination of milling and turning.
What is CNC Milling?
CNC Milling is an automated machining process used to manufacture 2D and 3D CNC parts by removing material from raw stock. Workshops use CNC milling machines to save time and improve manufacturing productivity.
To make a CNc miled part. a block or sheet is placed on a table below a spindle which holds a cuting tool. A computer selects the tool used.the rotatiorspeed. the vertical motion of the spindle and the horizontal motion of the table. This alows loaded cutters such as drils,taps and end mils to removeportions of the material to create shapes.
Types of CNc Milling Operations
Miling is a versalile process capable of producing a variely of part desians and fealures,such as pockets, threads, chamfers, and slots. Common CNC milling operations include:
Face Milling
In face milling operations, the CNC cutting tool’s axis of rotation runsperpendicularly to the workpiece surface. Specially designed face millingcutters consist of teeth on the face along with peripheral teeth, which cancut flat surfaces and contours with a high quality finish. Horizontal andvertical CNC milling machines are compatible with face milling operations.
Plain Milling
Also referred to as slab or surface milling, plain milling entails running theCNC cutting tool’s axis of rotation parallel to the workpiece surface. Teethrun along the periphery of plain milling cutters, with both wide and narrowcutters used based on the application’s needs. While wide cutters can cutlarger surfaces, narrow cutters facilitate deeper cutting.
Form Milling
Form milling entails cutting irregular outlines, surfaces, and contours, and isoften used for both fat and curved surfaces. These operations use speciallyformed milling cutters or fly cutters that can produce unique shapes,including concave and convex surfaces. Form milling is frequently used toproduce semi-circular and hemispherical surfaces for complex part designs.
Angular Milling
Angular milling, or angle milling, runs the axis of rotation at an angle that’srelative to that of the workpiece surface. Single-angle milling cutters areused for angular milling. These cutters are capable of producing grooves,chamfers, and serrations, along with other angular features.
