3-axis and 4-axis CNC milling and turning — complex geometries in aluminium, steel, brass, PEEK, and more. Tolerance ±0.025 mm.
CNC machining removes material from a solid billet using computer-controlled cutting tools. FYORD runs 3-axis machining centres for prismatic parts and 4-axis for complex contours, plus CNC lathes for turned components.
Ideal for brackets, housings, shafts, flanges, heat sinks, jigs, and fixtures where sheet metal isn't enough. Tolerances tighter than ±0.025 mm achievable on request.
| Material | Grade | Machinability | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aluminium | 6061-T6, 7075-T6 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent | Enclosures, heatsinks, brackets |
| Mild Steel | EN8, EN19, A36 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good | Structural, jigs, fixtures |
| Stainless Steel | 304, 316L | ⭐⭐⭐ Moderate | Food, pharma, marine |
| Brass | CuZn39Pb3 (C360) | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent | Fittings, connectors, valves |
| Delrin / PEEK | Acetal, PEEK | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good | Wear parts, insulators |
Keep pocket depth ≤ 4× cutter diameter. Deep narrow pockets require special tooling and add cost. Wide shallow pockets machine faster.
Internal corners need a radius ≥ tool radius. Specify R3 mm or larger where possible. Sharp internal corners require EDM — quote separately.
Minimum wall thickness 0.8 mm for aluminium, 1.0 mm for steel. Thin walls vibrate during machining and reduce accuracy.
Specify drilled holes by standard drill sizes (e.g. M3 clearance = Ø3.2). Blind holes should be ≥ 3× diameter deep. Specify thread class (6H/6g).
Mark your primary datum face clearly. We machine to ASME Y14.5 GD&T if specified. Include a 2D drawing with critical tolerances called out.
Upload STEP or IGES 3D model. Include a 2D PDF with all tolerances, surface finish callouts, and material / heat treatment spec.
