Purchasing used CNC machines is a smart business move. It allows shops to expand their workshop capabilities while saving on new machinery costs. A clear advantage that CNC Machines hold over new machines is their quality of function. If you work with a trustworthy dealer, they can recondition your machines so that they maintain the […]

CNC machines are the standard tool for producing precision turned parts, and they offer a number of benefits. However, they also come with a few drawbacks that manufacturers need to be aware of before buying. For starters, CNC machine tools require big enclosures that protect operators from flying chips and coolant. This can lead to […]

CNC machines are used in manufacturing plants and machine shops to manufacture products. These machines can automate production, which improves efficiency and safety in the workplace. To manufacture a product using a CNC machine, a design engineer creates a CAD file that outlines the mechanical dimensions of the part. The CAD file is then transformed […]

  CNC machines are used to convert stock material into finished products for a variety of industries. They combine multiple tools into common cells or units and control each step of the production process with a computer program. In the past, manufacturing was primarily performed by hand. This posed numerous problems including exhaustion, boredom and […]

CNC machines come in many shapes and sizes, so it pays to do a little research before buying one. Machines come with special guide rails in X (left-right), Y (front-back) and Z (up-down). Precision motors called Stepper or Servo motors power the movement of the router. When choosing a CNC machine, buyers should specify the desired tolerances […]

New things do not come cheap. CNC machines are investments, and investments do not come cheap. The standard price for a new CNC machine ranges from 150 to 300,000 US dollars. Big brands such as Okuma and Doosan are on the pricey side approximately $50k-$300k while entry level desktop routers would cost around $150 and […]

Maintaining cleanliness is essential, not just for the aesthetic, but also for longevity. Regardless if the machine is made by trusted and leading brands; and also guarantees durability, if you are failing to maintain and keep it clean, it is not bound to last. You will not be able to maximize its longevity, as well […]

CNC Machines have become a staple in the manufacturing industry and are renowned for their accuracy and precision. For those in the industry, it is viewed as an investment due to its slightly expensive price. When opting to sell your machine, there are several methods that you can adopt in order to gain the amount […]

The Okuma was founded in the year 1898 by Eiichi Okuma. Eiichi was a manufacturer and profits from Noodle-Making machines. It began manufacturing tools in 1904, launched their OS Lathe in 1918, and became Japan’s No. 1 in 1937. Later on, the company would launch their Numerically Controlled Drilling and Grinder in 1963 and began […]

Computer Numerical Control (CNC) Machines are reputed for their accuracy, precision, and speed. They are versed in manufacturing high quality products with less material waste. This automated machine uses software that controls the tools based on the selected and programmed design. These types of machining are mostly subtractive manufacturing where it removes excess materials when […]

As CNC machines become reliable in the production process for various industries, its parts often experience wear and tear due to continuous and non-stop usage of these machines. Take note that CNC machine parts pricing varies. The price of each piece will depend on the processing method and have labor costs. In most pieces, the […]

CNC Machines are known for their speed, accuracy, precision, and capability to produce tolerant and quality parts and items. This innovation helps operations to be time-bound, improve stock management, and saves money on both material waste and manpower resulting in increased profit. Since these machines have reputable benefits, industries have grown accustomed and chose it […]

CNC machines for industries and shops are a form of a long term and major investment. It is expected that it should have a long service life making it worth the money. However, how long it would actually last depends on the way the owner maintains the machines. Proper and frequent maintenance guarantees quality products, […]

Managing a machine shop comes with challenges. Manufacturing industries need to deal with the non-stop innovation of machines, conduct quality assurance, and maintain a healthy workplace for all its manpower. Nothing comes easy for the management – from identifying the proper machine needed for the production, selecting the best brand to achieve both quality, cost-saving, […]

A Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machine is one of the most important machines in the manufacturing industry which comprises of a microcomputer and a program of instructions directly fed into it through a small keyboard that provide a level of efficiency, accuracy, and consistency than a manual process. This pre-programmed computer software dictates the movement […]
