CNC Milled Parts Surface Finishing Options
Gain access to quality surface finishing for custom CNC milled parts to remove aesthetic flaws and improve the appearance of your products. We also provide rigid protection and additional resistance and strength to your parts through superior surface finishes.
As machined
Standard surface finish from machine directly, variables in relation to different machines.
Heat Treatment
Using heating and cooling to immensely improve key physical properties of metal.
Sandblasting
Add uniform matte or satin surface finish against designated metal part and remove tool marks.
Coloring
Change the color of the workpiece by spray painting, baking finishing, etc.
Laser Etching
The practice of using lasers to engrave the workpiece.
Screen Printing
Process of transferring a stencilled design onto a flat surface using a mesh screen, ink and a squeegee.

CNC Milling Design Guidelines
| Description | General Tolerance or Standard |
|---|---|
Maximum Part Size | Milled parts up to 80” x 48” x 24” (2,032 x 1,219 x 610 mm). |
Distance Dimensions | For features of size (Length, width, height, diameter) and location (position, concentricity, symmetry) +/- 0.005”. |
Orientation and Form Dimensions | 0-12″ +/- 0.005″, Angularity 1/2 degree. For 24″ and beyond please consult Elimold’s Manufacturing Standards. |
Precision Tolerances | Elimold can manufacture and inspect to tight tolerances, including sub +/- 0.001″ tolerances, per your drawing specifications and GD&T callouts. |
Minimum Feature Size | 0.020” (0.50 mm). This may vary depending on part geometry and chosen material. |
Threads and Tapped Holes | Elimold can accommodate any standard thread size. We can also machine custom threads; these will require a manual quote review. |
Surface Finish | The standard finish is as-machined: 125 Ra or better. Additional finishing options can be specified when getting a quote. |
Edge Condition | Sharp edges will be broken and deburred by default. Critical edges that must be left sharp should be noted and specified on a print. |
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.
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.

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.
Applications of CNC Milling Services
The CNC milling process is applicable to many industries as it is highly efficient, accurate and eliminates the need for manual labor. Whether it is for prototypes or a full production runs, machine shops and their services are a critical step in the manufacturing process.
