INTRODUTION

CNC:- Computerized Numerical Control

CNC stands for Computerized Numerical Control. It is a computerized manufacturing

process in which pre-programmed software and code controls the movement of
production equipment.
It is also called turinng mahine.

 TOOLS

> 9 Types of Tools Used in CNC Machines to Make Quality Precision Parts

#1 Drill Bits
#2 End Mill
#3 Face Mill
#4 Reamers
#5 Gear Cutters
#6 Hollow Mill
#7 Thread Mill
#8 Slab Mill
#9 Fly Cutter

#1 Drill Bits
Drill bits have a conical cutting point and a shaft with one or more flutes-the helical
grooves that run down the exterior of the tool.

#2 End Mill

End mills are similar to drill bits but are much more versatile in the operations they
perform. They typically have up to eight sharp flutes on their ends and sides, allowing
them to remove large amounts of materials within a short period. An end mill should
be your go-to tool if you want to cut straight down into a material without requiring
a pre-drilled hole (or spot).
 TOOLS
#3 Face Mill
More often than not, the starting material (or workpiece) used in CNC milling
machines requires some sort of preparation before you can perform major milling
operations.

#4 Reamers
Let’s say you need to create a 1/2” hole in a workpiece. You can proceed to use a
1/2” drill bit, right? Wrong! Do this, and you can expect to have an oversized hole
when you’re done drilling your workpiece.

#5 Gear Cutters
As the name suggests, gear cutters are used to make gears for manufacturing
industries. You can use it to fabricate a wide variety of gears, including spur, bevel,
worm, screw, and helical gears.
 TOOLS

#6 Hollow Mill
Hollow mills are pipe-shaped cutting tools with three or more cutting edges that
enclose and revolve around a cylindrical workpiece. This cutting tool allows you to
create a consistent pre-thread diameter quickly and efficiently. You can also use
them in drill press work for finishing projections that must be in a given position.

#7 Thread Mill
As the name suggests, thread mills are CNC cutting tools used for cutting threads.
They are similar to taps in the purpose they serve. But unlike taps that cut only
internal threads, CNC machines fitted with thread mills can cut both internal and
external threads.

#8 Slab Mill
Slab mills, also known as slab cutters or plain mills, are used to cut flat surfaces.
These cutters typically only have teeth on their periphery and are ideal for creating
wide and narrow cuts quickly.

TOOLS
#9 Fly Cutter
Fly cutters are single-point rotary tools that make broad or shallow cuts and produce
a smooth surface finish. Compared to most face mills, fly cutters are inexpensive and
offer a better surface finish. It should be your go-to tool for plane surfacing
operations.
