What is CNC Milling?

CNC Milling is a manufacturing process. It performs many of the operations of both drilling and cutting.

A CNC mill drills and turns a piece of metal stock along an axes to cut and shape the stock to meet the pre-programmed requirements. Where a lathe turns a piece of stock to create the necessary part, a mill cuts a shape out by removing excess material.

  • A variety of types of CNC mills exist

  • APM has 2 CNC Vertical Mills, 3 CNC Horizontal Machining Centers and 5 CNC Vertical Machining Centers

  • Some milling features are included on CNC lathes with live tooling, dramatically reducing production time
