CNC, short for Computer Numerical Control, machining is a highly sophisticated manufacturing process that uses computer-controlled machines to create precise parts from a wide variety of materials, including metals, plastics, and composites. Using coded instructions from specialized software, CNC machines automate the control of tools like drills, lathes, and mills, allowing for extremely precise and repeatable production.

At Preferred Machine Works, our highly skilled machinists have over 40 years of experience programming and producing parts for numerous industries including:

• Communications
• Aerospace
• Defense
• Medical
• Labs
• Commercial
• Private interests

A rotating cutting tool removes material from a workpiece that remains fixed. The milling machine's cutting tools move along multiple axes to shape the material into the desired form. Basic mills have 3 axis: X, Y and Z. More advanced systems have up to 5 axis and offer greater versatility in creating complex, detailed parts.

The workpiece rotates while a stationary cutting tool removes material to shape it. This method is commonly used for producing cylindrical or round parts like shafts, bolts, and pins. Unlike milling, where the tool moves, in CNC turning the workpiece itself spins. Turning machines or lathes usually consist of two axis: X and Z.
