Our vertical machining centers are typically capable of beveling, drilling, and tapping metals to our customers’ precise specifications.
Answer:
A vertical machining center (VMC) can process a variety of metal types in different forms, including:
The specific type of metal and the machining process required will determine the appropriate cutting tools, speeds, and feeds to use on the VMC.
Answer:
Carbon steel is a common type of metal that is frequently processed on a vertical machining center (VMC). The most commonly processed carbon steel grades on a VMC are:
The specific carbon steel grade used will depend on the application and the required mechanical properties of the final product. Machining carbon steel on a VMC typically requires the use of carbide cutting tools, and the appropriate cutting speeds, feeds, and coolant to achieve the desired finish and accuracy.
