CNC machining, or Computer Numerically Controlled machining, is a sophisticated manufacturing process. It involves the use of computer systems to guide and control the removal of material from stock material, resulting in highly precise parts. This technology ensures accuracy and efficiency in producing complex components.

At Summit Machine Co, Inc, we work with a diverse range of materials in our CNC machining processes. These include:

• Ferrous metals
• Non-ferrous metals
• Plastics
• Composites
• Wood
• Fiberglass
• And more

CNC milling and turning are distinct processes within CNC machining. The primary difference lies in their operational mechanics:

• CNC milling: In this process, the cutting tool rotates around the fixed material. This technique is typically used for creating complex shapes and features on the material's surface.
• CNC turning: Here, the material rotates while the cutting tool remains stationary. This method is ideal for producing cylindrical parts and symmetrical components.

Each process offers unique advantages, depending on the specific requirements of the project.
