What is CNC Milling?
A CNC mill is an automated cutting machine that uses a rotating spindle head to remove excess material. CNC mills come in a variety of sizes and with different axis configurations. The manufacturing process is primarily used to cut harder metals, but can handle a wide range of workpiece materials, from plastics and aluminum to stainless steel and titanium. CNC mills excel at contour cutting of harder materials. Like all CNC machines, CNC mills are controlled by G-codes created through CAM software. The Gg-codes instruct the machine where to move the tool head, how fast the tool will rotate, how deep to cut, how to move the workpiece, and other factors related to speeds, feed rates, and coordination. The complexity of the G-code depends on how many axes the mill has.
Types of CNC Milling Machines
Depending on the material type and product manufactured, machines running on CNC technology are categorized into various types like:
Horizontal Milling
Vertical milling
Knee-Type CNC Milling Machines
Ram-Type CNC Milling Machines
Bed-Type CNC Milling Machines
Planer-Type CNC Milling Machines
Difference Between 3-, 4-, and 5-Axis CNC Milling
3-axis milling is the most basic and commonly used method of milling parts. It involves the spindle cutting along three axes: X, Y, and Z. 4-axis milling, on the other hand, adds a rotary axis to one of the existing three on a 3-axis machine. This allows for more complex shapes to be created as the part can be rotated during CNC machining. However, 5-axis milling is considered the most advanced form of CNC milling machining services as it adds a second rotary to yet another axis on a traditional 3-axis machine. This enables even more complex shapes to be produced with greater precision and accuracy. With 5-axis milling, manufacturers can create complex geometries and intricate designs that would otherwise be impossible with other methods.

CNC Milling Surface Treatment
Elimold offers a variety of surface treatment options to improve the surface quality of CNC turned parts. Post-processing surface treatment can change the appearance, surface roughness, hardness and chemical resistance of the part.Other surface finishes are also available. Learn more about our metal and plastic surface finishing capabilities here.
As machined (Ra 3.2μm / Ra 126μin)
This finishing option with the shortest turnaround time. Parts have visible tool marks and potentially sharp edges and burrs, which can be removed upon request.
Smooth machining (Ra 1.6μm / Ra 63μin)
Smooth machining is similar to a ‘As machined’ finish, but with less visible machine marks. Parts are machined at a lower feed rate, with no hand polishing.
Polishing (Ra 0.8μm / Ra 32μin or better)
Polishing is the process of creating a smooth and shiny surface by rubbing it or by applying a chemical treatment.
Bead Blasting
Machined parts are bead blasted with glass beads which results in a uniform grainy texture and reduced machining marks.
Tumbled
It is a process that tumbles vibrating media on machined parts to remove sharp edges and burrs.
Tumbling can be used to remove machine marks from exterior surfaces.
Bead blasted + Anodizing type II
The parts are bead blasted to #120 grit before being anodized type II—ideal for increasing the aluminum part’s corrosion resistance and cosmetic effects.
Bead blasted + Anodized type III (Hardcoat)
The parts are bead blasted to #120 grit before being anodized type III. Type III (Hard Coat) is thicker and adds a wear-resistant layer to Type II’s corrosion resistance, suitable for functional applications.
Black Oxide
Black oxide is a conversion coating that is used on steels to improve corrosion resistance and minimize light reflection.
Powder Coated
This is a finish of applying powdered paint to the components and then baking it in an oven, which results in a stronger, more wear- and corrosion-resistant layer that is more durable than traditional painting methods.
Chromate Conversion Coating
Chromate conversion coating is used to improve the corrosion resistance of aluminum and aluminum alloys while keeping their conductive properties. It is also applied as a base layer prior to priming and painting parts.
Plating
Include Nickel Plating, Silver Plating, Gold Plating, Zinc Plating, Chrome Plating, Tin Plating and etc, it is ideal to reduce corrosion, improve the appearance and function of solderability and electrical conductivity.
DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) Coating
DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating is a hard, wear-resistant coating made of a carbon-rich material that exhibits some of the properties of diamonds.
Alternatives to CNC Milling
While CNC milling is a popular and versatile machining process, there are several alternatives depending on your specific project needs. CNC turning is ideal for cylindrical parts like shafts and bushings because it rotates the workpiece rather than the cutting tool. For complex designs or thin materials, laser cutting offers greater precision and speed, making it ideal for machining sheet metal and custom patterns.

Difference between CNC milling and CNC turning
CNC milling and turning both are capable of producing accurate custom parts from metals, plastic and other materials. The main difference is that while the cutting tools rotate for milling, the raw material rotates for turning. For that reason, turning is mostly used for machining custom cnc round parts such as shafts, pins, balls, etc. Another difference is that while basic milling machines have three axes of motion, a lathe or turning machine needs only two. In a mill, the cutter usually moves up and down while the workpiece moves horizontally in two directions. In comparison, turning requires only that a non-rotating cutter move left and right on one hand and forward and back for the second axis. The fact that turning has only two axes in its simplest form, constrains the variety of shapes it can produce. For example, turning can produce a shaft, chess pawn, a cylinder with a rounded end, etc. Turning normally can’t produce even a simple enclosure box. However advanced turning centers can have more than two axes and therefore can produce a wider variety of shapes.Elimold’s services are not limited to CNC milling and include hybridized manufacturing that leverages CNC milling, prototype fabrication, additive manufacturing and more.
Why choose CNC milling?
CNC milling is ideal for machining a wide range of shapes such as bevels, grooves, chamfers, holes, curves, and planes. CNC milling is able to quickly and accurately remove large amounts of material while achieving a good surface finish. Milling can be used for any rigid material, but we primarily machine metals and plastics. Of all the CNC machining processes available, milling is the most versatile.
Milling is not only used to manufacture finished parts, but also for making molds for plastic injection molding and die casting. Setup time is minimal, and it takes only a few hours to transform a CAD file into a finished part. Since there is no need to manufacture additional specialized tools, you are not subject to minimum order quantities, making the process very cost-effective and virtually waste-free.

What is the difference between a CNC router and a CNC mill?
A CNC router is used to cut materials like wood, plastic, foam, and sometimes soft metals like aluminum. It has a larger work area and typically moves faster. The router’s cutting tool, called a spindle, is designed to cut flat surfaces and intricate patterns, similar to a high-speed engraving machine. CNC routers are often used in woodworking, sign making, and other applications that require large, flat materials to be processed quickly and with high precision.
A CNC mill is more durable and versatile, capable of handling harder materials like steel, brass, and titanium. It can withstand the force and precision required to cut these materials. The cutting tool in a CNC mill, called an end mill, can move in multiple directions, allowing the machine to process more complex shapes and designs.
CNC Milling vs. EDM
Unlike CNC milling, electrical discharge machining (EDM) is a non-shear cutting method. It uses a workpiece and a cutting tool, and in a dielectric device, a high voltage creates an electrical discharge, and an electrode forms the workpiece by electro-eroding the material. Electrical discharge machining (EDM) is a technology specifically used for micro-machining, such as machining small holes, slots, cavities, etc.
