Applications of CNC machining in general industry
Not all workshops focus on a single sector: many machine a variety of parts depending on the orders they receive, combining prismatic and turned parts, different materials and production volumes. For this type of workshop, the versatility of the machine is as important as its accuracy.
Versatility and accuracy of CNC machining
A general-purpose machining center or CNC lathe makes it possible to handle different orders without reprogramming complex processes: you simply load the program for each part. This flexibility is key for workshops that work to order for several customers.

Types of CNC processes for general machining
A general machining shop usually combines milling, turning, drilling and tapping depending on the part it receives, so having different machine families makes it easier to cover a wider range of work.
Frequently asked questions about general CNC machining
Which machine is most versatile for a general machining shop?
It depends on the type of parts you receive most often. Check with our technical team to assess whether a machining center, a CNC lathe or both best suit your business.
Can I start with a single machine and expand later?
Yes, it is common to start with a machining center or a CNC lathe and expand the range of processes later as demand for parts grows.
What training do I need to operate these machines?
It depends on the operator's previous experience and the numerical control of the chosen model. Our technical team will inform you of the points to bear in mind for each machine.
