FAQS
Frequently Asked Questions About Production Machining
What is production machining?
Production machining is the process of manufacturing precision parts in repeat quantities using CNC equipment such as milling machines and lathes. It is commonly used when businesses need accurate, consistent parts for short runs, or larger production volumes.
What materials can be CNC machined?
CNC machining can be used for many metals and engineered materials. Hafendorfer Machine works with materials including aluminum, stainless steel, mild carbon steel, brass, copper, Delrin, Teflon, hardened plastics, and more.
What is the difference between CNC milling and CNC turning?
CNC milling generally uses rotating cutting tools to remove material from a stationary workpiece, while CNC turning rotates the workpiece against a cutting tool. The right process depends on the part’s shape, dimensions, tolerances, and design requirements.
How accurate is CNC machining?
CNC machining is designed for high accuracy and repeatability, making it suitable for components with close tolerances and detailed specifications. The achievable tolerance depends on factors such as the material, part geometry, equipment, and machining process.
How much does CNC machining cost?
CNC machining costs vary based on the material, part complexity, tolerances, quantity, machining time, and required operations. Providing drawings, specifications, and order quantities allows the machining team to prepare a more accurate quote.
How long does CNC machining take?
CNC machining lead times depend on the complexity of the part, material availability, order quantity, tolerances, setup requirements, and additional processing. Simple projects may require less production time than complex or high-volume orders.
Is CNC machining suitable for small runs and high-volume production?
Yes. CNC machining can be used for one-off prototypes, short production runs, and repeat high-volume manufacturing. Hafendorfer Machine has the capability to support projects ranging from a single part to large quantities of duplicate components.
What information is needed to get a CNC machining quote?
For the most accurate quote, provide your part drawing or CAD file, material requirements, dimensions and tolerances, required quantity, and any special finishing or processing requirements.
