CNC milling
Milling removes material with a rotating tool. It is the operation for faces, slots, pockets and holes that need to be more accurate than cutting or drilling allows.
How it works
The workpiece is clamped and a rotating cutter moves along it in several axes. Because the path is programmed, the same feature ends up in the same place on every part.
Where it fits
Milling is used to finish something that was cut, bent or welded earlier: flattening a mating face, sizing a bearing housing, positioning a bore. Solid parts are machined this way too.
What we mill with
There is a 3-axis CNC milling machine with a working envelope of 1500 × 650 × 600 mm. Within it we mill steel, stainless steel, aluminium, brass and plastics, as single pieces and in series.

What we need to quote
If something is missing we will ask. If you are not sure yet yourself, we will look at it with you.
- material and thickness
- the quantities involved
- a drawing: DXF, STEP or a dimensioned PDF
- whether the part still needs finishing or assembly
