Machining can be an automatic or manual process; however, automatic machining is becoming increasingly common today due to its elevated capabilities, accuracy, and precision, by means of CNC (Computer Numerical Control). CNC machining is used by a plethora of industries - from automotive and aerospace, to the medical industry and oil and gas.
Bellcliffe Engineering have invested in industry-leading equipment to be able to offer professional machining services, operated by competent machinists:

FAQs
CNC is an abbreviation for Computer Numerical Control. Therefore, CNC machining processes and actions are controlled by pre-programmed computer software.
CNC machines are accurate and fast, can handle high volume operations, with a high aptitude for repeatability. They require less skill for operation, and can reduce workplace hazards, as opposed to manually machining. However, they are more expensive to purchase.
