Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Standard prototype and production machining tolerances on the MXY are +/- 0.0005 inch (0.0127 mm). This means that the area, width, length, thickness, or thickness of any section must not deviate from the nominal value by more than this amount

A CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machinist designs and operates computer-controlled lathes, mills, grinders and other machine tools and programs them to produce metal or plastic parts with precision To produce quality machines, machinists set them up machine, write programs, test and adjust as necessary.

Durable materials are those that are capable of resisting drops, scratches, or other forms of surface penetration by mechanical force or under abrasive conditions:

hardest materials for CNC machining:

• Stainless steel
• Chromium
• Tool steel
• Titanium
• Alloy steel
• Tungsten
• Inconel

Aerospace and automotive parts, heavy machinery, implants, and high-performance devices often use solid materials.

Plasma device inserts can be suitable for cuts up to 12mm (half an inch). Mid-range CNC plasma machines such as the Australian-made Surefire CNC can cut 32mm steel. However, high-quality industrial CNC plasma systems can cut steel plates up to 50-60 mm thick.
