Vertical grinding and horizontal grinding are two precision machining processes used to finish the surfaces on large or long metal components. Vertical grinding handles large-diameter parts up to 68 inches across and 54 inches tall, while horizontal grinding finishes long cylindrical parts up to 120 inches, holding tight tolerances on ODs, IDs, and faces. Choosing […]

CNC milling uses computer controlled cutting tools to shape metal and plastic parts with precision. Milan’s Machining runs both horizontal and vertical CNC milling for manufacturers, fabricators, and OEMs in the Midwest, and around the country handling various size parts and components up to 80 inches wide by 158 inches long. All parts go through […]

What’s the Difference Between Vertical Turning vs Horizontal Turning? Vertical turning holds a part flat on a rotary table while a vertical spindle cuts from above, using gravity to support large, heavy workpieces. Horizontal turning spins a part along a horizontal spindle axis. This is usually best for long shafts and cylindrical components. Manufacturers who […]
