In the dynamic world of manufacturing, a career as a CNC (Computer Numerical Control) Lathe Machinist is both rewarding and in high demand. CNC Lathe Machinists play a crucial role in the production of precision components and parts. This article will guide aspiring individuals on the best route to becoming a CNC Lathe Machinist, offering […]

Extra axes on a CNC machine allow the cutting tool to approach a part from all directions without the need for extensive fixtures. This enables undercutting that may be possible on machines with fewer axes but requires time-consuming and costly repositioning of the workpiece. 5-axis machining offers greater precision, accuracy, and design flexibility when compared […]

Buying a lathe is a big decision. A machine shop owner should consider the type of work they plan to do and future plans. What to Look For The lathe is one of the more complex machinery available to home workshop owners, or industrial production shops. It is also one of the most expensive tools […]

Surface grinders are a common fixture in heavy industry. These machines are used to refinish items such as pins, pistons and connecting rods, as well as machine tool components like ball screws, indexers and roller bearings. They are also commonly used for finishing molds and dies, especially those with flat surfaces. They need to be […]

If you have an industrial scale CNC machine and you are looking to sell it, there are many ways that you can do so. While some of the below ways are good routes to take, Tramar is the best fit for anyone looking to buy or sell used CNC machinery. With a wide variety of types […]

A machining process removes excess material to shape, size, and process a product into the desired final form. Unlike other manufacturing methods, machining can remove high amounts of material from hard materials without damaging them. It can also produce a higher production rate and reduce labor costs. Turning Turning, also known as rotary machining, is […]

CNC, or computer numerical control, is a method of controlling machine tools through programmable computers. It allows for highly precise machining that eliminates human error, and is now used across industries. The history of CNC machines traces back to the 1940s, when John Parsons worked on a system that was fed punch cards that told […]

Boring mills are machines that can bore through solid material, such as metal, without damaging the material itself. They work by using a bar with an insert attached to the end, which is fed into an existing hole in the workpiece and rotated until a chip forms on the surface. The insert itself can be […]

Evolving from the numerical control machining process which utilized punched tape cards, CNC machining is a manufacturing process that utilizes computerized controls to operate and manipulate machine and cutting tools to shape stock material such as metal, plastic, wood, foam, composite, etc. into custom parts and designs. While the CNC machining process offers various capabilities […]

CNC machining is a metal fabrication method where written code controls the machinery in the manufacturing process. The code determines everything from the movement of the cutting head and the part to spindle speed, RPMs, etc. CNC machines are rather expensive so most shop owners buy used CNC machines. You can save a large amount […]

CNC (Computer Numerical Control) is an automated control of machining tools such as drills, lathes, mills, and 3D printers using a computer. It takes digitized data and is controlled, automated, and monitored by a computer and CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing) program. CNC machining uses highly detailed programming operations. These machines follow instructions without allowing any unwanted […]

A CNC (computer numerical control) machine is a machine tool that is controlled by a coded program with instructions to cut and move material. There are many types of CNC Machines, such as milling machines, lathes, routers, grinders, lasers, waterjet cutters and sheet metal stamping machines. With the variety of CNC Machines, it’s easy to […]

One of the oldest tools used by machining services is called the Lathe. It is a tool believed to have been created by the ancient Egyptians back in 1300 BC. It is known as the mother of machine tools, as it was the first machine tool that led to the invention of other machine tools. […]

CNC stands for Computer Numerical Control is an automated control of machining tools such as; drills, lathes, mills, and 3D printers using a computer. It takes digitized data and is controlled, automated and monitored by a computer and CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing) program. CNC machines are fully automated, needing only digital files with instructions about cutting […]

Since CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machines are broadly used in the manufacturing industry, it also plays an important role in the manufacturing industry. It uses CAD (Computer-Aided Design) and CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing) software to enable users to create wealth for both industrial and creative products. The types of CNC machines can be classified into the […]

Milling is the process of machining using rotary cutters to remove material by advancing a cutter into a workpiece. It covers a wide variety of different operations and machines, on scales from small individual parts to large, heavy-duty gang milling operations. A milling machine is operated manually or through CNC (Computer Numerical Control). CNC Milling […]

Makino (Makino Milling Machine Company) is Japan’s first numerically controlled (NC) milling machine in 1958 By Tsunezo Makino. It was established on May 1, 1937, and by 1966 it established Japan’s first machining center 1966. It was headquartered in Tokyo, Japan. Makino introduced game-changing solutions for performance. The company was first known as Makino Iron […]

What is 5-axis CNC machining? How does it work and benefit your business? What is the best 5 axis CNC machine you can get? A 5 axis CNC machine is a machine that has the ability to move a tool or a part in five different axes simultaneously. It enables the machining of very complex […]

A Vertical Machine Center is a spindle with a vertical orientation. With a vertically oriented spindle, tools stick straight down from the tool holder and often cut across the top of a workpiece. It improves metal removal rates and reduces parasitic non-cutting time and eliminates unnecessary interruptions to production. The difference between a Horizontal Machine […]

Haas Automation, Inc started in 1983 by its founder Gene Haas. Eugene “Gene” Francis Haas (born November 12, 1952) is the founder, president, and sole stockholder of Haas Automation, a CNC machine tool manufacturer. The company also has a presence in motorsports, having founded NASCAR team Haas CNC Racing (now known as Stewart-Haas Racing) and […]
