Depending on the machining operation being performed, CNC machining processes employ a variety of CNC machines and machine tools to produce custom-designed parts or products. While equipment may vary in other ways between operations and applications, the integration of computer numerical control components and software remains consistent across all CNC machining equipment and processes.

CNC machine type I: CNC drilling equipment


Drilling utilizes a rotating drill bit to drill cylindrical holes in the workpiece. The drill bit is designed to allow scrap metal (i.e. chips) to fall from the workpiece. There are several types of drills, each with a specific purpose. The types of drills available include spot drills (for shallow or pilot holes), peck drills (for reducing the amount of swarf on the workpiece), threader drills (for holes without pilot holes), and clamping reamers (for enlarging previously machined holes).

Typically, CNC drilling processes also use CNC drilling machines specifically designed to perform the drilling operation. However, lathes, tapping machines or milling machines can also perform drilling operations.


CNC Machine Type 2: CNC Milling Equipment


Milling utilizes a rotating multi-point cutting tool to machine the workpiece. Milling tools can be oriented horizontally or vertically and include end mills, helical mills, and chamfer mills.

CNC milling also uses CNC milling machinery, known as milling machines or milling cutters, that can be oriented horizontally or vertically. Basic milling machines can perform three axes of motion, and more advanced models can perform additional axes of motion. Types of milling machines available include manual milling machines, general milling machines, universal milling machines and all-purpose milling machines.


CNC Machine Type 3: CNC Turning Equipment


Turning uses a single-point cutting tool to remove material from a rotating workpiece. The design of the turning tool varies depending on the specific application and can be used for roughing, finishing, facing, threading, forming, undercutting, parting and grooving.

The CNC turning process also uses CNC lathes or lathes. The types of lathes available include turret lathes, engine lathes and specialized lathes.


What is a benchtop CNC machine?


Companies that specialize in CNC machine tools typically offer a range of small, lightweight machines. Benchtop CNC machines are slower and less accurate, but they can work well with soft materials such as plastics and foams. They are also better suited for smaller parts and light to medium production. Machines in the tabletop series are similar to larger industry standards, but their size and weight make them better suited for smaller applications. For example, tabletop CNC lathes have two axes and can handle parts up to six inches in diameter, which is useful for jewelry and mold making. Other common benchtop CNC machines include plotter-sized laser cutters and milling machines.

For smaller lathes, it is important to differentiate between a benchtop CNC lathe and a benchtop lathe. Benchtop CNC lathes are usually cheaper, but they are also smaller, and they are somewhat limited in the applications they can handle. Standard CNC bench lathes usually include motion controllers, cables, and basic software. Standard CNC bench lathes have a similar basic package but cost slightly more.
