Type Of CNC Milling Surface Finishes
We offer a wide range of surface finishing solutions to enhance durability, appearance, and functional performance of CNC machined parts.
CNC Milling Surface Finish Capabilities
With 3-, 4-, and 5-axis CNC machines, Swiss lathes, EDM, and grinding equipment, we provide stable, high-precision surface finish capabilities for a wide range of parts. Depending on the process and requirements, standard structural components can achieve Ra 3.2–1.6 μm for general functionality; assembly or friction surfaces can reach Ra 1.6–0.8 μm to ensure fit and motion performance; and high-precision sealing, sliding, or cosmetic parts can achieve Ra 0.8–0.2 μm, combining precision and aesthetics.
Each machining method has specific strengths: 3/4-axis CNC is ideal for most flat or simple curved surfaces, while 5-axis CNC can handle complex contours and multi-angle geometries for more uniform, refined surfaces; Swiss lathes provide high precision and consistency for internal and external diameters; EDM delivers Ra 3.2–0.8 μm reliably on hard-to-machine metals or complex shapes; and grinding, especially surface and cylindrical grinding, achieves Ra 0.4–0.1 μm ultra-precision finishes for sliding surfaces or highly precise planes.
Combined with advanced tooling, optimized process parameters, and optional post-processing such as polishing, anodizing, or plating, we ensure every batch of parts meets strict functional, assembly, and aesthetic requirements, demonstrating our professional capability and consistent performance in surface finishing.

What Is CNC Milling And How It Works
CNC milling is basically one of the core processes used in modern CNC machining services. In simple terms, it’s a way of cutting material away from a solid block of metal or plastic until it becomes the exact shape you need.
The part is fixed securely onto the machine table, and everything is controlled by pre-programmed G-code. Once the program starts, the machine follows the instructions step by step, removing material with rotating cutting tools. With our 3-axis and 5-axis machines, we can handle straightforward parts as well as more complex designs that require tighter tolerances.
Plastic parts usually keep their natural milled surface, which may show light tool marks depending on the design. Metal parts can go through additional finishing processes like anodizing or chromate plating if needed. After machining, we inspect the parts, finish them according to your requirements, and package them carefully for fast delivery.
