Precision turning parts rely heavily on computer digital control (CNC) processing, including operations that once used engineers to operate equipment such as routers, molding machines, vertical milling machines, and center lathes. Manufacturers in many industries choose CNC machining because it offers efficient, convenient, and precise production capabilities, ideal for producing large quantities of items that are typically produced using grinders, routers, center lathes, or molding machines.

In hand turning, each machine must have a skilled technician, while in CNC machining, a skilled person can operate multiple machines. Because of its precise, consistent, and sophisticated cutting, CNC machining can produce a wide range of metal parts for use in many industries.
Some examples of these industries are aerospace, automotive, electronics, firearms, hospitality, manufacturing, metalworking, military, production, and transportation. The first CNC machines were developed by U.S. Air Force machinists in the 1940s. These early machines used punched paper technology as drivers and have evolved into today's digital software. CNC machining has become popular because of its ability to use computers to produce detailed and accurate results in large numbers.
Computer numerical control differs from a typical PC in that the software used to control the machine is specially customized and programmed using the CNC-specific G-code that allows precise control of speed, position, coordination, and feed rate. One person can delegate machine work, which is equivalent to multiple operators working on lathes, grinders, routers, milling machines, and molding machines that are not always efficiently performed by human operators and conventional machines.
Manufacturing has found CNC machining useful because the industry requires a large number of metal and plastic parts, often of complex shapes. Different types of CNC machines have the advantage of having multiple axes to adjust difficult angles and help manage difficult-to-cut materials.
The basic machine has cutting tools along the X and Y axes, each working independently and simultaneously. Advanced machines may have as many as five shafts that perform similarly and are able to turn and turn parts. CNC machines can automate jobs that require multiple cuts. A router or spindle rotates a cutting tool similar to a drill bit and cuts the material, while a real drill bit cuts only at the tip.
The programming in the CNC machine combines all the precise, high-speed motions needed to produce the object and enables detailed customization. CNC machining is becoming increasingly popular for making metal parts and plastic parts because it allows manufacturers to produce complex shapes that are almost impossible to create manually.
Both CNC and conventional machines start with a piece of raw metal or plastic and shape it into a part. The main difference between the two machines is the automated nature of CNC versus the traditional manual nature. Speed, productivity, and precision are some of the main advantages of CNC machining over conventional machining.
