CNC's are programmed by a cnc programmer, who uses a machining print to determine X,Y, and Z, coordinates for each cutting tool inside the CNC to move to. This causes, the part that is load to be cut, drilled, tapped, bored, counter bored, chamfered, etc.

Predominantly in the engineering environment. The milling machine comes in two main formats vertical and horizontal.

The machines are used, normally with any material that needs to be slotted, have channels, teeth cutting for gears for example, block and trim to size, cut rebates scotia shapes, bevels in fact a massive range of uses. The miller acts like a router in a wood machine shop (both based on each others requirements). Materials used for machining are normal metals however, plastics and softer materials can be used. machine are available in manual and cnc versions

CNC stands for Computer Numerically Controlled Machine. It is the advanced version of Lathe movement of the tool and the workpiece is automated by the computer using G codes and M codes. All the functions and operations are automated except holding and unholding the job.
