We know that by this point in the development of CNC technology, nothing should amaze us. We’ve seen CNC machines perform feats of precision that shouldn’t be possible, whether it be milling a complex ...

Low cost 3D printers have come a long way in the last few years, but have entry-level CNC machines improved by the same leaps and bounds? That’s what [ModBot] recently set out to find. Despite getting ...

Humans had to carry out all their machining processes by hand for centuries. Even precision tools had to be maneuvered very carefully, inch by inch, by people holding the devices personally. That all ...

Editor's Note: An updated version of this information can be found here. What exactly is computer-numerical-controlled (CNC) machining? It’s a means to make parts by removing material via high-speed, ...

Thoroughly inspect the machine's physical condition. Review maintenance logs and service records. Assess accuracy, and perform test cuts to confirm precision and repeatability. Conduct a comprehensive ...
