Portland, OR Production Machining and Milling: What is Milling?

Milling is the most common type of CNC machining in Portland, OR. It is an adaptable production machining procedure that can perform various kinds of cuts on a part. In the production machining and milling process, a CNC milling machine uses a spinning cylindrical cutter to proceed along various axes and create slots, holes, and details in material to turn it into a mechanical part, vehicle, or other finished product. The CNC milling machines used in our Portland, OR production machining and milling process operate on multi axis range of motion, as well as right angle capabilities, to assist you in getting rapidly processed parts, designs, and products out the door. Give us a call with any questions about the Portland, OR CNC milling process at 573-646-3996 or reach out to us online.

The CNC milling machines we utilize in our complex near Portland, OR are:

• 2 axis machines for Portland, OR production machining and milling can cut holes and slots in the x- and z-axes (horizontal and vertical) and only in one direction.
• 3 axis machines for Portland, OR production machining and milling add the y-axis. This is our most popular milling machine. It cuts vertically and in multiple directions, but a circular or spherical part will need to be worked on one half at a time because it’s not possible to cut from below.
• 4 axis machines for Portland, OR production machining and milling add the capability to spin the x-axis, similar to our lathes.
• 5 axis machines near Portland, OR for production machining and milling add the capacity to rotate both the x- and y-axes. This is our most versatile milling machine, allowing us to shape virtually anything.

Portland, OR Production Machining and Milling: What Are CNC Milling Machines Used For?

CNC milling machines are particularly handy in three specific production machining and milling scenarios near Portland, OR:

1. Drilled Holes

   Tapping adds threads, but drilling creates a hole. Drilling focuses on both the diameter and depth of the hole, measurements that are useful further along in the production machining and milling run. Through and tapped holes are the most familiar method to assemble parts.

2. Bored Holes

   Enlarging an existing hole using a drill and boring bar with a cutting tool forms a precise inner cavity within a part, also useful further along in the production process. Boring allows parts to be assembled tightly and properly, achieving precisely tight tolerances for diameter.

3. Flat Surfaces

   CNC milling puts flat surfaces on a workpiece, creating a finished sealing surface so flat that possible leak issues are nearly eradicated.

The Roberson Machine Company CNC milling machines, just like our other CNC machines, operate on tight tolerances. For longer production machining and milling runs, we set most of our CNC machines on a 0.005” tolerance or rely on swapping the machine if we run a tighter tolerance. On shorter runs, our CNC machines can cut as precise as 0.001,” or about a fourth of the width of a human hair.

Portland, OR Production Machining and Milling: What Are Some Other Uses of CNC Milling Machines?

While we operate CNC milling machines for Portland, OR partners in the aforementioned industries, they can also be functional for smaller production machining and milling runs in the following categories:

• Cabinets
• Woodworking
• Furniture
• Instruments
• Prototyping and modeling
• Sculpture
• Aluminum machining
• Signs
