Holes are among the most common features found on CNC-machined components.They can also be among the most functionally important. A hole may simply provide clearance for a fastener, or it may locate a dowel, carry a bearing, guide a shaft, provide a sealing surface or...

“Break all sharp edges” is one of those engineering drawing instructions that appears simple until someone has to decide exactly what it means. For a CNC machining supplier, the intention is usually clear: finished components should not be supplied with unwanted burrs...

Internal corner radii can appear to be a relatively minor detail on a CNC-machined component. In practice, they can influence tool selection, machining strategy, cycle time, surface finish and manufacturing cost. The reason is simple: a rotating milling cutter is...

Thin-walled components can look relatively straightforward on an engineering drawing. In practice, however, removing material from a component until only thin sections remain can create some of the more challenging conditions encountered in precision CNC machining. As...
