Comparison of various CNC milling techniques
CNC milling is a crucial technique in modern manufacturing, known for its precision and versatility. There are several CNC milling techniques, each with unique features and advantages. Batchforce juxtaposes the most common CNC milling techniques.
Level milling
Plane milling uses the bottom or front face of the cutter and is ideal for obtaining a flat, clean surface. It is often used in the automotive, aerospace and consumer electronics industries for smooth finishes and accurate flat surfaces. The technique is effective for removing layers from materials and preparing surfaces for subsequent operations.
Corner cutters
Corner milling focuses on milling angular surfaces at a specific angle. This technique is different from plane milling and is often used to create V-grooves, dovetail joints, chamfers and sloped or beveled surfaces. It is flexible and precise, suitable for a variety of materials.
Chamber cutters
Chamber milling is a subtype of milling in which material is removed from a workpiece to create a cavity or “pocket.” This technique is versatile and precise, suitable for creating simple to complex shapes. It is often used when material efficiency is important.
Profile milling
Profile milling focuses on matching the outer boundary of a workpiece to the desired shape. It is used in industries such as aerospace and consumer electronics to create precise aerodynamic shapes and ergonomic designs. This technique requires precise cutter selection and depth and width considerations of the cut.
