What is CNC Milling?

CNC milling is a high-precision subtractive manufacturing process that uses computer-controlled rotating cutting tools to remove material from solid blocks of metal or plastic. Guided by CAD/CAM software, the milling machine follows programmed toolpaths to create complex geometries, slots, contours, threads, and intricate features with exceptional dimensional accuracy. At XY Machining, our CNC milling services support aluminum, stainless steel, titanium, brass, copper, engineering plastics, and high-performance materials. Using advanced 3-axis and 5-axis CNC milling machines, we manufacture complex parts with tight tolerances and consistent surface finishes, making the process ideal for functional prototypes, low-volume production, and end-use components.

Design Guidelines For CNC Milling

Feature	Description
General Tolerances	Apply ISO 2768-m unless tighter tolerances are critical. Specify critical dimensions clearly on drawings.
Precision Tolerances	Tighter tolerances (±0.001 in) increase cost. Apply only where functionally required.
Minimum Wall Thickness	Metals: ≥0.5 mm. Plastics: ≥1.0 mm to avoid vibration and warping.
Internal Corner Radius	Internal corners should be at least 1/3 of cavity depth. Avoid sharp internal 90° corners.
Hole Depth	Maximum depth recommended at 4× hole diameter for optimal machining stability.
Thread Depth	Thread length should not exceed 3× nominal diameter unless required.
Undercuts	Use standard tool sizes where possible to reduce cost and lead time.
