About Our Custom CNC Machining UK
CNC Milling
CNC Milling is a machining process that uses a computer-controlled machine tool to produce accurate and complex parts from a wide variety of materials such as metals, plastics, and composites.
First, the workpiece is securely fastened to a worktable. The machine then removes material from the workpiece using a rotating cutting tool, according to the requirements of the design specification.
This cutting tool moves along multiple axes to create the shape and dimensions of the finished product, to a high standard of accuracy. The tool can be programmed to move along the x, y, and z axes, giving it the capability to produce complex shapes and features such as holes, slots, pockets, and contours.
The CNC Milling process uses advanced software and automation to create complex shapes with exceptional precision.
The machines can be fitted with a wide variety of cutting tools – such as end mills, drills, and taps – to meet a wide range of milling needs and fulfil almost any idea a client has in mind.
The Types Of CNC Milling Machine
At Sotek Engineering, we are equipped with a wide variety of CNC Milling Machines, such as:
- Vertical Milling Machines – These machines use a vertical spindle which moves up and down the X and Y axes.
- Horizontal Milling Machines – These machines use a horizontal spindle which moves side-to-side along the X and Z axes.
- 5-Axis Milling Machines – These machines can create highly complex and detailed parts, by moving the cutting tool along 5 axes.
- Gantry Milling Machines – These machines can move the cutting tool along multiple axes, using a fixed bridge which spans the workpiece.
The Applications Of CNC Milling
CNC Milling Machines are used in a wide range of manufacturing industries, due to their exceptional standards of precision and ability to produce high-quality products.
These industries include automotive, aerospace, medical, and defence, among others.
The Benefits Of CNC Milling
CNC Milling offers many key benefits to the manufacturing industry, including:
- High standards of precision
- Significant reductions in defects
- Minimal waste
- Faster and more efficient production
- Quick assembly
- Improved personnel safety
- Reduced energy consumption
- Lower overall production cost

CNC Turning
CNC Turning is a machining process that produces cylindrical or conical parts using a computer-controlled lathe.
The workpiece is rotated against a cutting tool, which is held in a tool turret or tool holder. The lathe then moves the cutting tool along the surface of the material, resulting in the desired shape and dimensions of the finished product.
The lathe machine is capable of fulfilling a variety of functions, such as facing, drilling, threading, and grooving. Like CNC Milling, CNC Turning can be used with a wide range of materials – including metals, plastics, and composites – and is capable of generating parts quickly and accurately.
The Features Of CNC Turning Machines
Bar Feeder – The bar feeder automatically feeds raw materials such as metal bars or tubes into the CNC lathe machine to create long, cylindrical parts. The bar feeder is capable of holding multiple raw materials and feeding them into the machine as required. This increases efficiency by eliminating the need for manual loading.
Driven Tooling – Driven tooling enables the CNC turning machine to create complex features on the workpiece, such as holes and slots. These are created using rotating cutting tools driven by a motor. This allows for multiple operations to be performed on the workpiece, such as drilling, tapping, and milling.
The Applications Of CNC Turning
CNC Turning Machines are used in a wide range of manufacturing industries, including automotive, aerospace, medical, and defence.
Their features offer several benefits to the manufacturing sector, including increased production efficiency, reduced timescales, and lower costs.
The Benefits Of CNC Turning
- Faster and more efficient production
- High standards of precision
- Significant reductions in defects
- Improved personnel safety
- Reduced energy consumption
- Lower overall production cost
- Minimal waste
- Flexible
