CNC Milling

CNC milling is a machining process that uses computer-controlled rotating cutting tools to remove material from a workpiece to create a desired shape. It is widely used for producing precision parts with complex geometries. The process involves securing the workpiece on a movable table and using various tools to cut, drill, and shape the material based on programmed instructions.
