    CNC Machines      Widely employed in subtractive manufacturing, CNC machines are fast, reliable, and complex. With computerized numerical control, CNC mills and lathes can produce parts with complex geometries for one-off practical end-use, rapid prototyping, low-volume manufacturing, or mass production.      Because of the relative sophistication of these devices, it is not uncommon to see many different brands of equipment from workshop to workshop. That being said, every CNC milling machine will have some basic components to perform the device's primary function. This article takes a quick stab at the basic parts of a CNC milling machine, their function, and their possible location. In no particular order, here is a rundown of the standard and most common parts of a CNC milling machine: 1. Base The base of a CNC milling machine is a cast iron platform that supports the weight of the machine from top to bottom. The base component is a part o...
