We know that by this point in the development of CNC technology, nothing should amaze us. We’ve seen CNC machines perform feats of precision that shouldn’t be possible, whether it be milling a complex ...

The Thread-Milling Wizard from Seco-Carboloy, Warren, Mich., is a program that simplifies the complicated programming associated with thread milling by quickly generating CNC codes for specific ...

The diameter of a thread milling cutter is smaller than the drilled hole, and the cutter turns in an elliptical orbit to reduce cutting torque when compared with machine tapping. One of the most ...

The drive by nuclear plant operators to extend the life of aging equipment and to minimize equipment downtime during planned maintenance shutdowns has led to the extensive use of portable machine ...

Modern milling machines look much the same as they did 30 years ago. However, they now must cut superalloys, titanium, and high-tensile steels to closer tolerances and at faster rates than before. To ...

There are no shortage of CNC machines in the DIY space these days, but sometimes you just need to do things your own way. That’s what [Chris Borges] decided when he put together this rock-solid, ...

When he founded MakerBot eight years ago, Pettis made a multi million-dollar bet that at-home 3-D printing would become the future of manufacturing. Today, that prediction still hasn't materialized.

Makera has officially revealed the Z1, it's latest desktop CNC, this time appealing to what it calls the "entry-level" maker. The new CNC machine features the same auto-levelling, 0.02 mm precision, ...

Computer numerical control (CNC) is a manufacturing method that automates the control, movement and precision of machine tools through the use of preprogrammed computer software, which is embedded ...
