Get the support you need on CNC machining and engineering information by reading the FAQ here.

What are the reasons for the unstable accuracy of CNC machining parts？

It may be caused by unstable processing equipment or tool wear and other reasons, so it is necessary to check the equipment and tools in time and repair or replace them.

What to do if the surface roughness of parts does not meet the standard after CNC machining？

It may be due to severe wear of cutting tools or inappropriate cutting parameters, which require timely replacement or adjustment of cutting tools or adjustment of machining parameters.

How to Resolve CNC Machining Program Errors?

It may be caused by programming errors, program transmission errors, or programming parameter settings, and it is necessary to check and modify the program in a timely manner.

What are the reasons for vibration and noise in CNC machining？

It may be due to equipment imbalance or unstable cutting tools during the processing, and timely adjustment of equipment and tools is necessary.

What to do if the cutting fluid used improperly in CNC machining？

The quality and usage method of cutting fluid can affect the surface quality of parts and tool life. It is necessary to choose a suitable cutting fluid based on the processing materials and cutting conditions, and use it according to the instructions.

How to handle deformation of CNC machining parts？

It may be due to residual stress in the material and thermal deformation during processing, and it is necessary to consider the compatibility between the material and processing technology to reduce part deformation.
