CNC Milling

CNC milling is a highly precise machining process that removes material from a workpiece. The workpiece stays in place as the rotating tool follows a pre-programmed toolpath to cut the material. This process produces two-dimensional or three-dimensional products like slots, contours, pockets, and threads.

CNC milling offers several key advantages:

Incredible precision. CNC machines translate design plans into extremely accurate machining instructions while meeting strict tolerances.
Creative potential. Premium CNC tooling can implement various designs without the limitations or delays of conventional tools, allowing the operator to complete projects requiring a lot of intricacy and complexity.
Versatility. CNC milling tools can work with metal, plastic, composite, and other materials to create a range of goods with different material properties.

CNC milling is used in major applications, including precision aerospace components, implanted medical devices, surgical tools, industrial-strength molds and dies for production, custom-machined goods, and more. Operators can use this process to tackle large orders, small-batch goods, prototyping, and more.

CNC Turning

In CNC turning, a stationary cutting tool removes excess material from a rotating workpiece to produce a cylindrical shape with excellent symmetry. CNC turning can rapidly produce large volumes of virtually identical goods.

CNC-turned products are very cost-effective to produce: they don’t require as much time, labor, or supply chain complexity as other processes. Components have a smooth, rounded surface and require few, if any, additional finishing.

Some of the most common applications for CNC turning include:

Automotive brake drums, gears, pistons, and shafts
Hardware and fasteners, such as nuts, bolts, and screws
Shafts for medical devices or surgical implants
Pipe nipples, pipe fittings, and valves for plumbing installations
Heat sinks and shafts for electronic configurations

Fisher Barton’s Advantage: Where Milling and Turning Converge

At Fisher Barton, we provide quality in-house milling and turning services that simplify your supply chain. We work ceaselessly to ensure our clients can enjoy predictable, reliable CNC machining options. When you choose Fisher Barton, you gain access to:

Multi-Axis Machining Centers. Our cutting-edge CNC machines have multiple axes on a single platform so multiple milling and turning processes can be conducted at once.
Seamless Integration. Our equipment and software facilitate a smooth design and execution process that can use milling and turning at the same stage.
Reduced Lead Times. CNC machining services from Fisher Barton are fast because we use a single machine for both processes. The result is shorter lead times, lower production costs, and faster fulfillment.
Enhanced Design Flexibility. When you have access to both milling and turning, you can design a wider range of products with intricate milling features and excellent symmetry.
