There are a range of methods for shaping by cutting, including turning, drilling, milling, reaming and awling. Today, modern machines make it possible to process both large and small batches. CNC technology opens the door to turning, milling and side drilling in a single mounting.
Multi-spindle lathes are suitable for large volumes. Shaping by cutting is unbeatable when it comes to large volumes of very simple components, or very complex components with dimensions that are not suited to any casting technique.
