Machining is a type of material processing that involves its gradual removal. Getting rid of the excess allows you to achieve a specific effect. This process uses cutting tools such as a milling machine or a lathe. At Marxam Project, as part of machining, we provide services such as milling and turning, both using CNC and conventional machines, as well as broaching and honing. Trust us when it comes to cutting and experience the comprehensiveness of our offer.

Fun fact

Milling machinist is a person who must stand out with manual skills, precision, responsibility and patience. Teamwork is also very important, because the work performed by the miller is always a part of a larger production process.

In addition to the turning process, milling requires increased attention and rigorous observance of the basics of work safety – the specificity of work means that the lack of due caution may result in a dangerous accident.

Thanks to milling, things such as threads, profiles, grooves, spindles, gears can be created in materials such as metal, wood or plastic.

CNC machining: Precision and repeatability

CNC machining is a part of machining that uses computer numerical control (CNC) machines. Its characteristic features include excellent adaptation to large-scale production, as it allows for quick and flexible processing of materials with high repeatability. At Marxam Project, we provide CNC turning and CNC milling services as part of this process.

CNC turning

CNC turning is a process in which part of the material that we want to machine is separated. This allows you to obtain precisely defined parameters. Automated numerical machines are used here, which use lathe knives to achieve great results. This allows for reduced human error and greater repeatability of elements.

CNC milling

CNC milling also uses automated numerical machines. In this process, milling machines are used to remove the required part of the material and obtain the desired effect. It is better suited for processing flat parts of materials, such as threads or grooves.

Conventional machining: personalization and flexibility

Conventional machining, unlike CNC machining, does not use automated machines. The most important things here are the skills of the operator. This has its advantages and disadvantages, as it allows for greater personalization of specific elements, but at the same time it is not effective in the case of large-scale production. This means it is better suited for unique pieces or prototypes where high accuracy in design details is needed.

Conventional turning

Using a hand lathe, the turner removes excess material from the surface. It is ideally suited for machining cylindrical surfaces, especially in small quantities, as there is no need to program the machine.

Conventional milling

Conventional milling using a hand milling machine is basically used in the same way as conventional turning. The main difference is that they are more often used in the processing of flat surfaces and that here the machine tool rotates while the product remains stationary.

Definition of machining

Machining is a process of removing excess material by using cutting tools. The removed part of the material is turned into characteristic chips. It is used to obtain precisely defined parameters, such as roughness, shape or dimension. The processes included in it are perfect for machining both flat surfaces (e.g. milling) and cylindrical surfaces (e.g. turning and honing), both the inner and outer parts of the element.

Types of machining

There are several processes that characterize machining. All of them involve removing excess material, but they are adapted to different types of surfaces. We distinguish:

Turning - A process in which the product is rotated and the machine remains stationary. It is perfect for cylindrical surfaces in order to achieve their precisely defined parameters.
Milling - Unlike turning, here the machine tool is rotated and the product is stationary. This process is ideal for flat surfaces.
Honing - This is a finishing process, which means that it is one of the last processes used in material processing. Before this, the processed object must be properly prepared using other techniques. Used for cylinder objects to give them appropriate roughness.
Broaching - This technique is characterized by the fact that the excess material is processed in one pass. Broaching machines are used for this purpose, which are ideal for creating, for example, grooves.

Advantages of machining

Machining is one of the most frequently used processes among all metalworking techniques. Its wide range of applications and high accuracy allow you to obtain a precisely defined effect. We will divide its advantages into 2 categories:

CNC machining – The use of computer numerically controlled machines is currently the most frequently chosen type of machining. The reason for this is that it allows you to achieve accurate products with high repeatability in large-scale production. It also minimizes the human factor, which here is limited mainly to setting appropriate parameters in the machine and making corrections in this area.
Conventional machining – In this type of machining, the operator’s skills are most important. Using manual machines, he removes excess material. A characteristic feature of this technique is its personalization. It allows you to achieve precisely defined parameters for each product unit. It is most often used for a small number of materials.

Steel machining, as well as that of many other metals.

Applications of machining

Machining has a wide range of applications in the field of metal processing, but not only. It can be used for processing steel, aluminum, copper, bronze, but also other materials such as wood or plastics. It is ideal for both large-scale production (CNC machining) and individual elements (conventional machining). For this reason, it is used in a number of industrial sectors such as the automotive, aviation, furniture, construction, manufacturing, electronics and many others. It is so universal that it can be used in almost every metal processing project.

Factors influencing machining

Machining is particularly sensitive to the parameters of its use. The main reason for this is the popular CNC machining, which uses automated numerical control machines. A number of factors influence machining, such as:

Order parameters - Based on the expected effect, appropriate parameters of the machines used are selected. They are important because they will have a direct impact on the result obtained.
Production volume - Depending on whether we want to obtain many elements in large-scale production or rather a few unique materials - we will choose a different processing process.
Cutting tools used - The selection of appropriate tools, but also their wear, will have a direct impact on the machining result. Their suboptimal selection will result in lower precision, which will result in a lower quality final product.
Processed material - The material from which the element is to be made will be crucial in selecting the appropriate cutting tools and machine parameters. Its strength, thickness, conductivity and many others will be important.
Human skills - They will be particularly important in the case of conventional machining, where humans will do most of the work, but they are also important in other methods. They allow you to select appropriate parameters and make quick changes during production if you notice any inaccuracies.

Frequently asked questions

How does CNC machining differ from conventional machining?

CNC machining will be used for large-scale production with high repeatability, while conventional machining is used for smaller quantities of unique elements. An important difference is also the human factor, which is crucial in traditional machining, while in its CNC counterpart it will be limited to the selection of parameters.
