Hard milling explained — cutting fully hardened tool and mold steels at 45–65 HRC: why the normal rules of milling stop applying, the three pillars that make it work, when to hard-mill instead of EDM or grind, and the tooling, machine and parameters it demands.
A neutral machinability reference for CNC machining materials — how to read a machinability rating, the physical reasons aluminium, steel, stainless, titanium, nickel and the engineering plastics differ, and a family-by-family guide for choosing what to cut.
What CNC machining is and how it works: the CAD-to-part workflow, the main machine types, materials, and the real advantages and limits, written for the shop floor.
