Challenges

Challenges in Machining 304 Stainless Steel
While offering significant benefits, 304 stainless steel presents these machining challenges:

Work Hardening:
Tends to harden during cutting, accelerating tool wear if unmanaged.

Tool Wear:
Requires sharp, wear-resistant carbide or coated tools.

Heat Buildup:
Demands efficient cooling and controlled cutting speeds to prevent distortion.

Slower Cutting Speeds:
Necessitates reduced speeds versus softer metals (e.g., aluminum, brass) to maintain tool life and accuracy.

Experienced CNC providers address these challenges using specialized tooling, optimized feed rates, and advanced coolant systems.

Importance

The Importance of Custom CNC Turning and Milling
Custom CNC machining enables production of application-specific components, from prototypes to optimized end-use products. Key benefits include:

Precision & Accuracy
Computer-guided programming and high-speed tools achieve ±0.001mm tolerances, ensuring exact dimensional compliance for precision-critical industries.

Complex Geometries
Creates intricate shapes and multi-sided designs unachievable manually. Multi-axis mills and Swiss lathes produce internal channels, complex threads, and contoured surfaces.

Material Versatility
Machines diverse materials including aluminum, stainless steel, titanium, brass, and high-performance plastics to meet varied industrial requirements.

Scalable Production
Supports rapid prototyping through mass production. Quick setups and automated tooling changes minimize downtime across batch sizes.

Cost Efficiency
Initial setup costs are offset by long-term savings: reduced labor, faster production, minimal waste, and consolidated processes eliminate multiple tooling needs.

Advantage

CNC Machining of Aluminum Parts
CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machining automates tool control (mills, lathes, routers) to precisely cut and shape aluminum parts to specifications, delivering precision, repeatability, and customization.

Common CNC operations for aluminum include:

Milling: Produces flat surfaces, slots, pockets, and complex 3D shapes

Turning: Creates round/cylindrical components (bushings, shafts)

Drilling & Tapping: Forms threaded holes and precision bores

Facing, Chamfering & Surface Finishing: Refines edges and enhances aesthetics

High-precision CNC shops achieve tolerances within ±0.001" or better, application-dependent.

FAQ

• Q: What tolerances can Crida achieve?
• A: There is no given set of tolerances that fits all processes and materials. In every case, the final tolerances on your part will depend on a number of factors, including but not limited to: Part size Design Geometry The number, type, and size of features Material(s) Surface finish Manufacturing Process Once your order is confirmed, we will review your design and provide a design for manufacturing review, pointing out any areas where we may not be able to achieve your desired tolerances. It’s helpful if you can specify which areas in your design have critical tolerances that must be met and which can be slightly modified if needed to reduce the time and costs involved.

• Q: How about the lead time?
• A: Generally, 2-3 days for a prototype sample, Mold time is 1-2 weeks for samples, and 1 week for mass production.

• Q: What's the MOQ?
• A: We can accept a low quantity.

• Q: Are the products of all the colors the same with the same surface treatment?
• A: No. About powder coating, the bright color will be higher than white or gray. About the Anodizing, colorful will be higher than silver, and black will be higher than colorful.

• Q: What will you do if we receive poor-quality parts?
• A: Please kindly send us the pictures, our engineers will find the solutions and remake them for you ASAP.
