CNC Turned Parts vs. CNC Milled Parts: Distinguishing the Differences

 

Manufacturers and designers often struggle when deciding whether to use CNC milling or CNC turning to achieve production of parts due to the high precision of their computerized processes. However, understanding the differences between the two machine processes, including their limitations, can help quickly identify and select the best machine process for each project. The movement of components and tools is a notable difference between them. The material moves in CNC turned parts, while the cutting tool is held stationary by a clamping mechanism. While the material is in place, the cutting tool travels according to the computer-generated CNC milling manufacturing strokes.

 

CNC milling may be better suited for larger pieces of material than CNC turning, as larger materials may be difficult to turn. Additionally, the complexity of the design may be another important consideration in choosing one of the two CNC-based programs. CNC milling methods are generally better suited for complex designs that require a large number of operations, as the cutting tool can easily move along the material. Meanwhile, CNC turning is particularly well suited for round materials. Therefore, CNC milling is often used to produce parts with complex geometries, such as gears.

 

They are also sometimes used together to complete custom designs, with a focus on factors such as precision, measurement, and shape complexity.

 

The decision to use CNC turning or milling often depends on the complexity of the part and the material used. For example, CNC turning is often used for cylindrical or round items, while CNC milling is better suited for parts with complex geometries, such as gears or brackets.

Craftsmanship of CNC Turning Parts
 

 

Workpiece mounting
The first step is to mount the workpiece, often referred to as a blank or billet, onto the lathe. The workpiece is typically a cylindrical or rod-shaped material, such as a bar or a pre-formed component. It is secured onto the lathe's chuck or collet, which holds it firmly in place during the machining process.

 

Tool Selection and setup
Once the workpiece is mounted, the appropriate cutting tools are selected and set up in the lathe's tool turret or toolpost. The cutting tools used in CNC turning include various types of inserts, drills, boring bars, and threading tools. The selection of the tools depends on factors such as the material being machined, the desired shape and dimensions of the part, and the required surface finish.
