CNC Milling

Utilizing three axes (X, Y, and Z), 3-axis milling is ideal for producing relatively simple geometric shapes with flat or prismatic features. It's commonly used for basic machining operations and is cost-effective for projects that don't require intricate detailing or complex angles.

At Timpson Engineering, we leverage the latest CAD/CAM technology to optimize our milling processes, delivering superior results efficiently and competitively priced.

4-axis milling introduces rotation around one axis, to enable the machining of features on multiple sides of a workpiece without the need for repositioning. This reduces setup time compared to 3-axis machining and may be more cost efficient depending on the job.

We carefully evaluate the complexity of each project to determine the most cost-efficient machining method, selecting between 3-axis, 4-axis, or 5-axis milling based on the intricacy of the design, required tolerances, and production volumes.

With the addition of another axis, 5-axis milling offers unparalleled versatility and precision, allowing for machining of intricate contours, undercuts, and complex surfaces in a single setup, minimizing production time and enhancing accuracy. 

Our highly experienced staff, with a combined 45 years of expertise, ensure that every milling job is executed to perfection at Timpson Engineering
