CNC Machining Explained: What Is It and Why Does Precision Matter?

When you're running equipment critical to your operation—whether manufacturing machinery, agricultural equipment, or construction tools—precision isn't optional. It's essential. Steiner Metalworks understands this better than anyone. But what exactly is CNC machining, and why is precision so crucial?

What is CNC Machining?

 

CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machining is a manufacturing process that uses computerized controls and machine tools to produce precise parts. Common CNC processes include:

  • CNC Milling – uses rotating cutters to remove material.
     

  • CNC Turning – rotates the workpiece while cutters shape it.
     

  • CNC Drilling – precisely creates holes or channels.
     

Why Does Precision Matter?

 

Precision in CNC machining ensures:

  • Reliable Fit and Function – Parts align and function seamlessly, reducing downtime.
     

  • Higher Quality Standards – Meeting tight tolerances boosts overall product reliability.
     

  • Cost Savings – Avoid frequent replacements and unnecessary repairs with precisely machined parts.
     

Common Applications of Precision CNC Machining:
