CNC Machining, short for Computer Numerical Control Machining, encompasses various types of
machines that employ computer-controlled tools to subtract material from a workpiece.
This computerized control distinguishes CNC machining as a method that surpasses conventional
machining in terms of speed, precision, and accuracy.

FAQ's
1. What are standard machining tolerances?
The standard machining tolerance is ± 0.005" or 0.13mm, representing the allowable range for
a dimension. For instance, if a CNC machining tool has a tolerance of ± 0.01 mm, it implies a
permissible deviation of 0.01 mm in each cut.
With a provided drawing, our CNC machining service can achieve part tolerances as low as
± 0.0002 in. In the absence of a drawing, all CNC parts adhere to our ISO 2768 medium standard.
For projects demanding tighter tolerances, ±0.025mm or ±0.001", we can accommodate with an
engineering drawing specifying critical features.
2. What size of fillets are added when no specific fillet is specified by the 3D model
or drawing?
In the absence of a specified fillet radius in the 3D model or drawing, the machinist will add fillet
radii based on discretion to facilitate easy machining. Should a specific fillet radius be required,
clear specification is essential.
As a general guideline, internal vertical edge radii might exceed 1/3 of the depth, while internal
horizontal edges may either be left sharp or feature a radius ranging from 0.5mm to 1mm.
3. How long does delivery time and quotation take?
The delivery time for parts is determined by their complexity. Parts with low complexity typically
have a lead time of 2-3 days, while moderate complexity extends the lead time to 2-5 days.
High-complexity parts may require 5 to 15 days for delivery. Quoting time varies based on design
complexity, ranging from 1 business day (or faster) for simpler designs to 3+ business days for
more intricate ones. For an assessment and quote for your design, please feel free to reach out to

4. What are the advantages of CNC machining?
The advantages of CNC machining are multifaceted, including rapid prototyping and the swift
production of full-scale parts. Notably, it excels in delivering high precision and accuracy in
manufacturing across various part sizes.
CNC machining enables tight tolerance machining for parts of all dimensions.
Furthermore, it provides unparalleled flexibility in terms of volume, pricing, lead times, and the
diverse range of materials and finishes utilized.
