Plunge grinding

Plunge grinding is a type of CNC grinding process used to create precise, cylindrical or conical features on a workpiece by feeding the grinding wheel into the workpiece at a controlled rate, and may be used for grinding shafts, pins, or other cylindrical components.

Pocket milling

Pocket milling is a type of CNC milling process used to create pockets or cavities in a workpiece using a cutting tool that follows a predefined path, typically using a series of overlapping passes to remove material and create the desired shape.

Overhang

Overhang refers to the distance between the cutting tool and the nearest support point in a CNC machining operation, and may affect the stability and accuracy of the machining process.

Ramp milling

Ramp milling is a type of CNC milling process used to create angled or ramped surfaces on a workpiece using a cutting tool that gradually increases or decreases in depth, and may be used for creating chamfers, bevels, or other angled features.

Radial drilling

Radial drilling is a type of drilling process used in CNC machining, where the cutting tool is moved in a circular or radial path around the workpiece to create holes or other features at various angles or orientations.

Quill

A quill is a cylindrical extension of a spindle on a CNC milling machine that supports the cutting tool and provides additional stability and precision during the machining operation.

Programming

Programming refers to the process of creating a part program or set of instructions that will control a CNC machine tool during a machining operation, and typically involves the use of specialized software or programming languages to specify tool movements, feed rates, cutting parameters, and other machining parameters.

Precision grinding

Precision grinding is a type of CNC grinding process used to create high-precision, flat, or cylindrical surfaces on a workpiece using a grinding wheel with very tight tolerances and a high degree of accuracy.

Porosity

Porosity refers to the presence of small voids or holes within a material, and may affect the strength, durability, or performance of a CNC machined part or component.

Polishing

Polishing is a type of CNC finishing process used to improve the surface finish or texture of a workpiece by removing any remaining tool marks, scratches, or other surface imperfections using an abrasive material or polishing compound.
