Turning Milling Service
In the realm of metal fabrication, milling stands out as the predominant method for material
removal. CNC milling machines, prized for their remarkable precision and accuracy,
are frequently employed in the cutting of various metals.
The outcome of milling varies based on factors like the type of material, its strength, and
hardness. Consequently, milling can yield diverse results and surface finishes.
Certain metal alloys, such as titanium, exhibit exceptional durability, enabling them to withstand
even the harshest environments.
Among the array of metal alloys suitable for milling are aluminum, copper, brass, zinc, bronze,
stainless steel, and standard steel. The process of metal milling encompasses shaping, cutting,
drilling, and tapping.

CNC Machining Tolerances
Tolerances are not standardized across all processes and materials.
The final tolerances on your part depend on various factors, such as part size, design complexity,
the number and size of features, materials used, surface finish, and the manufacturing process
employed.
Once your order is confirmed, we conduct a Design for Manufacturing review to identify areas that
may need modification for better manufacturability.
It's helpful if you can specify which areas in your design have critical tolerances that must be met
and which can be adjusted, if necessary, to optimize production time and cost.
CNC Milling Tolerances | ||
Limits for nominal size | Plastics | Metals |
0.5mm* to 3mm | ±0.1mm | ±0.05mm |
Over 3mm to 6mm | ±0.1mm | ±0.05mm |
Over 6mm to 30mm | ±0.2mm | ±0.10mm |
Over 30mm to 120mm | ±0.3mm | ±0.15mm |
Over 120mm to 400mm | ±0.5mm | ±0.20mm |
Over 400mm to 1000mm | ±0.8mm | ±0.30mm |
Over 1000mm to 2000mm | ±1.2mm | ±0.50mm |
Over 2000mm to 4000mm | ±2.0mm | |
*Please clearly indicate tolerances for nominal sizes, below 0.5mm on your technical drawing. |

2. Considerations for Custom CNC Milling
Custom milling offers manufacturers the ability to rapidly produce CNC prototypes and robust
machined parts for a wide range of applications. When selecting materials for CNC machining,
it's important to note that only stainless steel offers corrosion resistance.
For lightweight products, low-density metals like aluminum, beryllium, titanium, and magnesium
alloys are excellent choices.
CNC milling machines are highly capable of swiftly and accurately producing prototypes, making
them an ideal option for product development.
By utilizing computer-aided design (CAD) software to create a 3D model of the prototype,
CNC milling machines can craft a physical representation of the design.
This empowers designers to create and test a single prototype to refine and perfect their concepts
before transitioning to mass production.
Materials and alloys that can withstand high machining temperatures encompass titanium,
stainless steel, nickel, and tantalum.
Additionally, material costs should be taken into account for custom CNC milling projects, as they
directly impact the overall project cost.
