Turnmilling process explained - milling with turning on the same machine
TURN-MILLING
This category encompasses machining solutions where Turning AND Milling are performed on a single machine. Material is removed both by rotating the workpiece in a chuck as with turning, and by a rotating cutting tool in a milling spindle.
This process enables high levels of production and design flexibility, with both turning and milling operations being performed within a single setup.
Not only can reduced setup time be a benefit, but in many cases increased accuracy through the elimination of error introduced during setup.

What is CNC Plasma Cutting?
CNC Plasma cutting is used to cut shapes and contours through the full thickness of flat sheet or plate metal and through the wall thickness of sections such as pipes and structural beams. It is this output of a 2 dimensional profile or a profiled section that has earned Plasma Cutting it’s general categorisation as a “Profiling” process. -
What types of Anodising are there, and which materials can you Anodise?
Anodising is used to increase surface hardness, wear resistance and dielectric strength of metals such as Aluminium, Titanium and Magnesium. -
EDM Spark Erosion explained - What is it? How does it work?
This category encompasses EDM Spark Erosion where a machined die is used to remove material from the workpiece, this die is progressively moved around or sunk through the workpiece. -
CNC Drilling process explained
This category encompasses automated Drilling performed on a computer numerically controlled drilling machine, similar to a milling machine, but utilised primarily for drilling operations.Typically optimised for high feed rates and thus productivity in the drilling of multiple holes in the manufacture of filter plates, heat exchanger tube sheets etc. -
