In layman’s terms, metal working is the art of converting metal either by human hands or machines to a certain purpose or form. Applications range from complex handcrafted artwork to extremely accurate computer assisted manufacturing. In metalworking, fabrication mostly revolves around the process of joining metal pieces to make structural parts or functional pieces. For some bespoke machine components to large-scale steel structures, fabrication ensures durability, robustness, and accuracy.

CNC turning and milling is the process of holding a material in a spindle, with a cutting tool removing layers from the material. This approach works best for cylindrical items such as rods and tubes, and shafts. The cutting tool cuts in a linear motion while the material undergoes high-speed rotation. This makes it easy to shape, drill, and thread exactly how it is required. Modern turning centers support multi-axis operation, enabling more complex work. It is extensively used in the automotive, aerospace, and mechanical industries.
