The metalworking industry is experiencing a paradigm shift driven by increasing demands for customisation, precision, and efficiency in metal fabrication, shaping, and finishing. As a response to these evolving needs, manufacturers have turned to CNC machining, a versatile and powerful solution for unlocking new levels of productivity, accuracy, and cost-effectiveness in metalworking operations. With the…
Pre milling features are more common on smaller edge banders now, rather than just on higher production machines. Pre milling encounters two counter rotating cutter blocks which are manufactured to mill the edge of the workpiece prior to adding the edge banding material. The PCD cutter blocks are set up to mill a specific amount…
Diamond machining tools are unparalleled for strength and durability. Diamond is the hardest naturally occurring material on earth, which makes it an incredible tool for industrial CNC machining. For cutting, machining and routing of wood, or composite materials. But several options are available for diamond tooling, so how can you know which offers the best…
End mills and drill bits can perform very similar tasks and, at times, their functions may look identical. But end mills and drill bits can also differ wildly in the types of machining they can carry out. The disparity between them in industrial use only widens when looking at domestic usage. Drills bits are quite…

Carbides are fascinating compounds, revered across many industries for their strength, conductivity, and versatility. Compounds are combinations of more than one element to produce a chemical compound that enjoys enhanced features when compared to its individual ingredients. Carbides are compounds formed with carbon as a main element, usually combined with a metal. There are a…
What is PCD? Polycrystalline diamond is, as the name may suggest, a single diamond made up from many smaller diamond crystals! The process of forming PCD takes grit formed from tiny pieces of diamond and fuses it back together into a single form. As diamond is a super hard material, the forming of PCD tools…
Computer numerical controlled (CNC) machining is used to craft a huge range of products and parts, from many different materials. Milling is just one type of machining that can be performed by CNC, but milling is far from just one process! Have a look below at the many different types of milling that can be…
