What is Metal Machining
Metal machining is a versatile manufacturing process of shaping metal using cutting tools for a wide range of applications. It is a precise process that can be used to create small or large parts with a high degree of accuracy, and there would be various machines to use, like turning, milling, grinding, drilling, or wire cutting to achieve the final results.
How Does CNC Metal Machining Work
CNC metal machining is a process that removes metal from a workpiece to create a custom-designed part. During CNC metal machining, computer numerical control (CNC) machines are used to perform the metal removal process.
CNC machines are operated by a controller that inputs instructions on what movements the machine should make. The metal removal process is completed with a cutting tool that is mounted on the CNC machine. As the cutting tool removes metal from the workpiece, it leaves behind a custom-designed shape.
Popular Metal Materials for CNC Machining
CNC metal machining can be used to machine a variety of metals, including aluminum, brass, stainless steel, and titanium. In addition to metal, other materials such as plastics and composites can also be machined using CNC technology.

Custom Metal Parts Machining Processes
Milling: Milling is a metal machining process that uses rotary cutters to remove material from a workpiece.
Turning: Turning is a metal machining process in which a workpiece is rotated against a cutting tool to remove material, and it is often used to create cylindrical parts.
Grinding: Grinding is a metal machining process that uses abrasive wheels to remove material from a workpiece.
Drilling: Drilling is a metal machining process that uses a drill bit to create holes in a workpiece.
Wire Cutting: Wire cutting is a metal machining process that uses a wire to cut material from a workpiece. at Shanghai Elue, we have 10 sets of Sodick slow wire cutting machines which can give very high precision.
