In the realm of manufacturing, CNC Machining, or Computer Numerical Control Machining, is a
broad category encompassing various machines. These machines leverage computer-controlled
tools to subtract material from a workpiece, leading to a substantial enhancement in speed,
precision, and accuracy when compared to conventional machining techniques.
Product Details
Materials for CNC machining are typically classified into three major categories:
plastics, soft metals, and hard metals. Examples encompass aluminum, bronze, copper,
ceramics, plywood, steel, stone, wood, zinc, and various others.
Materials characterized by ease of manipulation and favorable properties are commonly preferred
over alternative options.

Company Profile
FAQ's
1. What are the advantages of CNC machining?
The advantages of CNC machining are prominent, with rapid prototyping and efficient full-scale
production at the forefront. A distinguishing feature is its capacity for high precision and accuracy
in manufacturing, extending to tight tolerance machining for CNC parts spanning various sizes.
Beyond this, CNC machining offers unmatched flexibility in addressing volume needs, pricing
considerations, lead times, and the utilization of a broad spectrum of materials and finishes.
2. What are standard machining tolerances?
Standard machining tolerances stand at ± 0.005" or 0.13mm, indicating the acceptable range for
dimensions. If a CNC machining tool is specified with a tolerance of ± 0.01 mm, it implies a
permissible deviation of 0.01 mm in each machining operation. When provided with a drawing,
our CNC machining service can achieve part tolerances as fine as ± 0.0002 in.
In the absence of a drawing, all CNC parts align with our ISO 2768 medium standard. Projects
demanding tighter tolerances, such as ±0.025mm or ±0.001", can be accommodated with an
engineering drawing outlining critical features.
3. How much import duty will I need to pay for my goods?
The amount of import duty for your goods is not standardized and varies based on several factors.
In Australia, the introduction of new CHAFTA regulations allows for a progressive implementation
of duty-free imports. Import duties differ widely and are determined by the type of goods being
imported.
Globally, most countries adhere to international Harmonized System (HS) codes, which categorize
nearly all commercial trade goods.
4. What if I am not completely satisfied with the parts I receive?
We assure the quality of our materials and workmanship based on the terms specified in the
initial order and the information you provide. Disputes arising from subjective assessments will
be handled by our management, who will act in good faith to secure your complete satisfaction.
Our sustained success hinges on earning your confidence in our ability to consistently meet and
