Here’s how CNC milling differs from CNC turning and CNC grinding:
CNC Milling:
Involves a cutting tool moving to shape a stationary workpiece.
Used for complex parts with various shapes and holes.
CNC Turning:
Uses a rotating workpiece and a stationary cutting tool.
Ideal for cylindrical parts with rotational symmetry.
CNC Grinding:
Employs a rotating grinding wheel to achieve high precision.
Used for extremely accurate parts with a fine surface finish.
