In CNC milling, tool offset refers to the adjustment made to account for the cutting tool’s length and diameter. This ensures that the tool cuts accurately in relation to the workpiece, preventing dimensional errors. By setting precise offsets, machinists define the correct starting point, ensuring that parts are manufactured to exact specifications. Proper tool offsets are crucial for achieving consistent, high-quality results throughout the milling process. 

CNC milling and CNC routing both involve computer-controlled cutting, but they are designed for different applications. CNC milling is ideal for machining metals and hard materials, producing intricate, high-precision parts with tight tolerances. In contrast, CNC routing is used primarily for softer materials like wood, plastics, and composites, working at higher speeds and being suited for cutting large sheets where ultra-high precision is less critical. Milling focuses on accuracy and complexity, while routing is better for speed and large-format material processing. 

CNC milling and CNC turning are both subtractive manufacturing processes, but they operate differently. In CNC milling, the workpiece remains stationary while the tool moves across multiple axes, making it ideal for creating complex parts with slots, contours, and holes. CNC turning, on the other hand, involves rotating the workpiece while the tool remains fixed, making it more efficient for producing cylindrical components such as shafts, bolts, and rings. Milling excels at producing intricate shapes, while turning is more efficient for creating round parts quickly.
