Key Takeaways:

1. What is CNC Milling and Turning?

CNC Milling:

Definition and basic principles:

CNC milling is a machining process that utilizes a rotating multi-flute cutting tool to remove material from a workpiece to obtain the desired shape and size. This process is controlled by a computer program, which enables high precision and high efficiency machining.

Work process:

The basic working process of CNC milling includes the following steps.
1. fix the workpiece on the machine table
2. install the appropriate cutting tool to the spindle
3. according to the pre-programmed instructions, control the relative motion of the tool and table
4. the tool rotates at high speed and removes the workpiece material to form the desired shape.

Multi-axis machining capability:

State-of-the-art CNC milling machines are capable of 5 or more axes of motion, increasing the flexibility and complexity of machining.

CNC Turning:

CNC turning, on the other hand, involves rotating the workpiece while a stationary cutting tool shapes it. This method is excellent for producing cylindrical parts and is commonly used for components such as shafts, bushings, and fittings. 

Work Process:

1. Firstly, make CAD model and optimize the design.
2. the CAD model will be converted into a CNC machine recognizable code
3. machine according to the program control tool movement, the rotating workpiece cutting

Common operations:

including cylindrical turning, face turning, grooving, drilling, tapping and so on.

2. What is the Difference Between Milling and Turning?

Milling and turning are both fundamental processes in CNC machining used to create precise parts and components, but they differ significantly in their approach and applications. Here’s a detailed comparison:

Key Differences Between Milling and Turning

Aspect Milling Turning
Material Removal Rotary cutting tool removes material Stationary cutting tool removes material
Workpiece Movement Workpiece is generally stationary Workpiece rotates
Tool Movement Cutting tool moves along multiple axes (X, Y, Z) Cutting tool moves linearly along the rotating workpiece
Applications Complex shapes and profiles, slots, holes Cylindrical and symmetrical parts
Machines Used Milling machines (vertical or horizontal) Lathes
Examples of Products Gearboxes, engine components, intricate parts Bolts, screws, shafts, conical parts
