We place the job in a machine and the milling head then moves around the material to give it the desired shape. This might include grooves or holes in the metal. Using different milling tools and machines, we can machine a wide range of shapes. <\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is turning?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Turning is a technique for machining metal jobs. We place the job in a lathe clamp. The clamp rotates at high speed. A cutter is then applied to the job lengthways (axial) and transversal (radial). By adjusting various settings of the machine, such as speed and cutter type, we determine the shape of the end product.    <\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is grinding?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">We use grinding if a metal surface needs to be machined very precisely. We use a grinding disc for this. When the grinding disc touches the job, the cutting edges ensure that a very small amount of material is removed. We roughly distinguish between two grinding techniques, surface grinding and cylindrical grinding. Surface grinding is similar to milling. The grinding disc moves with the rotation axis parallel to the surface being machined. Cylindrical grinding can be compared to turning, the key difference being that the rotation of the grinding disc is the main movement and the rotary motion of the job is the feed movement.<br\/> \u00a0<br\/> You use grinding if: <br\/> \u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 high precision is required; <br\/> \u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 a certain surface quality is required;<br\/> \u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 the material is very hard; <br\/> \u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 the permissible machining forces are low; <br\/> \u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 the layer to be removed is very thin.   <\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\"><\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":367,"parent":0,"menu_order":30,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-541","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Frequently asked questions - AFMI<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Do you have any questions about machining, one of our services or our machines?
