Mastering the Art of Precision Machining

Machining is the cornerstone of any machine shop, encompassing a broad array of equipment and techniques tailored to specific needs and materials. A comprehensive understanding of these methods is crucial for both machinists and customers, as it directly impacts the quality, precision, and suitability of the final product. At Lakeland, our experienced craftsmen recognize that choosing the right manufacturing partner is critical to success.

Understanding CNC Turning and Milling Differences

CNC machining involves the operation of equipment and tools guided by pre-programmed computer software, controlling complex machinery such as CNC routers, mills, lathes, and grinders.

The primary distinction between CNC turning and milling lies in the movement of the machine or raw material. In CNC milling, the cutting tools move around the stationary material, allowing for greater precision and efficiency. In contrast, CNC turning keeps the tools stationary while rapidly rotating the material to achieve the desired shape.

Ensuring Precision Through Tool Calibration

Precision in machining operations relies heavily on the condition and accuracy of the tools employed. Regular calibration and maintenance are essential to guarantee that tools such as milling machines, lathes, and drill presses operate at their highest level of accuracy. This consistency is vital for producing parts that meet stringent specifications. For over 30 years, our team has upheld this standard, ensuring we consistently deliver exceptional results.

Revolutionizing Part Shaping with Precision

The primary function of a CNC turning center is to rotate material while the machine’s tools precisely remove excess material to shape it as required. A component known as the “chuck” secures the material in place, enabling it to spin at various speeds based on the machine’s settings.

CNC turning represents an evolution of one of the oldest and most fundamental methods of part manufacturing—the lathe. These machines are available in both horizontal and vertical configurations, and they typically work with round raw materials.
