CNC machining facilitates the fabrication of a versatile range of metal parts with high levels of dimensional accuracy. Pro-Type Industries uses top-of-the-line CNC mills and lathes to create metal parts for a variety of industrial applications. Our CNC process capabilities include:

• Milling. This process uses a computer-controlled rotating tool to cut shapes and dimensions into a metal part. There are a variety of rotating tools available to achieve different goals.
• Drilling. The drilling process uses a rotating cutting tool to create a hole in a stationary workpiece.
• Boring. This technique widens a hole by pressing a boring head tool in the hole.
• Turning. Turning rotates the workpiece and applies a stationary cutting tool to create cylindrical parts.
• Threading. Threading creates external threads on a workpiece using a die tool.
• Tapping. Tapping creates internal threads inside of a drilled hole using a tapping tool.
• Thread milling. Using a milling machine, threads of varying sizes can be produced by programming a helical cutting pattern into the machine.
• Knurling. A knurling tool is a V-shaped piece that creates a pattern on a cylindrical part. These patterns can be straight, diagonal, or diamond, based on specific part needs.
• Broaching. Broaching uses a long-toothed cutting piece known as a broach tool to create a variety of shapes in a metal part. These shapes include circles, squares, keyway, and other shapes that can be programmed.
• Counter-boring. Counterboring applies a specialized drill bit known as a counterbore to widen the top of a hole to a specific width and depth. This method is typically applied to allow flat screw and bolt heads to sit flush with a surface.
• Countersinking. Countersinking enlarges the rim of an existing hole in a conical shape to allow screws, rivets, or bolts with conical heads to sit flush with a surface.
• Pocketing. The pocketing process removes unwanted material effectively and in large quantities. Pocketing is often used just before finishing.
• Profiling. This vertical milling tool operates by moving a spindle laterally and at right angles, facilitating complex cuts on irregular profiles.
• Reaming. Reaming is a method for widening and finishing holes. A tapered cutting tool called a reamer is inserted into a drilled hole and used to widen the hole within remarkably close tolerances while also leaving a good surface finish.
• Parting. In the parting process, a blade is inserted into the metal and used to accurately cut the desired shape and dimensions. This method is commonly used to achieve complex cuts.
• Facing. Facing cuts perpendicular lines facing the axes of the milling machine.
