How many types of CNC machining?
The common processing methods of CNC machining include CNC turning, CNC milling, boring, planing, slotting, grinding, and drilling.
Turning (vertical turning, horizontal turning): Turning is the processing of cutting metal from the workpiece. While the workpiece is rotating, the tool cuts into the workpiece or turns along the workpiece;
Milling (vertical milling, horizontal milling): Milling is a process that uses a rotating tool to remove metal. It is mainly used for processing grooves and straight lines of contours. It can also process arc surfaces with two-axis or three-axis linkage;

Drilling: Drilling is the use of a rotating drill to drill holes on a solid metal workpiece; when drilling, the workpiece is positioned and clamped and fixed; the drill must feed along its own axis in addition to rotating.
Boring: Boring is a processing method to enlarge or further process the holes that have been drilled or cast on the workpiece. It is mainly used for machining holes with larger shapes, larger diameters and higher precision.
Grinding (surface grinding, cylindrical grinding, inner hole grinding, tool grinding, etc.): Grinding is a processing method that uses a grinding wheel to remove metal. The processed workpiece has an accurate size and a smooth surface. It is mainly used for finishing heat-treated workpieces to make them reach accurate dimensions.
Planing: The main feature of planing is to process the straight surface of the shape. Generally, the surface roughness is not as high as that of a milling machine;
Slotting: Slotting is actually a vertical planer. Its cutting tools move up and down, which is very suitable for incomplete arc machining, and is mainly used for cutting certain types of gears;
There are many types of machining included in machining. The above-mentioned ones are the more common machining types at present, and these machining types can meet the machining processes required for all workpieces at present.
The feed route of finishing is basically carried out along the part contour sequence. Therefore, the focus of determining the feed route is to determine the feed route of rough machining and idle stroke.
In CNC lathe processing, the determination of the processing route generally follows the following principles.
① It should be able to ensure the accuracy and surface roughness of the workpiece to be processed.
② Make the processing route the shortest, reduce the idle travel time, and improve the processing efficiency.
③Simplify the workload of numerical calculation as much as possible and simplify the processing procedure.
④ For some reusable programs, subroutines should be used.
