How the Process Works

What CNC milling actually does

Milling removes material starting with a solid blank to carve out a finished or semi-finished shape. The workpiece is clamped in a rigid vise on a work table that rotates and pivots, while cutting tools on a rotating spindle peel away material to form pockets, holes, contours and intricate 3D surfaces.

The real advantage of a multi-axis center — like our Haas UMC-750 — is that the table and spindle move on independent axes. That offers accuracy, repeatability and the versatility to finish a complex component in a single setup.

Tolerances

Holding the number on the drawing

We follow ISO 2768 (medium) for plastics and ISO 2768 (fine) for metals, and consistently hold CNC tolerances starting using ±0.005″ (±0.125mm) down to ±0.002″ (±0.05mm) across applications.

When a feature production goals tighter still, we work directly from your 2D technical drawings to hit the exact specification — so the component performs the way the design intends.
