Create the Exact Cut with a CNC Machine

Certain projects you encounter are going to require extremely accurate cuts that can't be made with the drill press you already have in your shop. Often, CNC machines are used for milling small parts, creating precisely angled cuts and handling any material, whether hard or soft. These machines are built for the professional craftsman. They may not be needed for every job, but without them, certain projects would not be possible.

A key feature on all CNC machines is the ability for the user to control exactly how fast the drill is rotating. This gives you the power to mill through a hard block of steel or slow down the press for softer materials like plastic or wood. A higher rotational speed also means more heat will be emitted. For plastic and wood pieces, too much heat can burn or melt your materials and require you to start over. Keep this in mind and reduce the drill speed for softer materials.

Unlike many drill presses, the CNC machines you can find at Sears offer you the ability to tilt the drilling element up to 90 degrees. When working on machining certain pieces, a simple up and down motion won't be able to give you the cut you need. These milling units also come with fine feed control -knobs mounted in front. These features let you move your materials slowly and steadily into the drilling unit and cut with precision.

Other essential features of milling machines are their large work tables, clear chip guards and LED readouts. The large table makes your machine a viable option for working on larger projects. Their easy push-button function makes them easy to learn and use without extensive training. The clear chip guards let you watch with ease and protection as you mill your pieces. This visibility will let ensure that you are making the exact cuts that are necessary. There are LED readouts on some models that make it easier to adjust speed settings.

A milling machine lets you easily create tapered holes, angled cuts and other precision shapes at the push of a few buttons. These functions will make creating specialized pieces an easy task. For those unique jobs, investing the money in a CNC machine is a smart idea. Stop by Sears and get the tool you need that will make finishing your specialized projects a breeze.
