Cnc Machine Shop

What does CNC machine shop mean?

Imagine walking into a place where the air buzzes with the sound of machines, and the scent of metal and oil is in the air. That’s a CNC machine shop for you, but it’s more than just the sights and sounds. CNC, which stands for Computer Numerical Control, essentially means that the machines doing the heavy lifting — or in our case, cutting, milling, and turning — are controlled by computers. At Anco Precision Inc., this translates to the ability to craft complex parts with precision that human hands could hardly match. Through decades of experience, we’ve harnessed these machines’ capabilities to serve industries requiring utmost accuracy, like aerospace or medical devices. It’s not just about cutting metal; it’s about opening a world of possibilities for innovation and design.

How much is CNC per hour?

Ah, the golden question we get asked often. The truth is, it varies. Picture this: you’re planning a road trip and wondering how much the gas will cost. The answer depends on several factors such as the car you’re driving, the distance, and the price of gas. Similarly, CNC machining costs are influenced by the complexity of the part, the type of material being used, and the time it takes to machine the part. On average, you might see rates ranging from $65 to $120 per hour at Anco Precision Inc. However, we focus on providing value through our expertise and efficiency, ensuring that every hour you pay for translates into unparalleled quality and precision in your projects.

Do CNC machinists make money?

Indeed, they do. Like any skilled trade, the path of a CNC machinist is paved with opportunities for those willing to learn and refine their craft. It’s akin to being an artist, but instead of paint, you’re wielding tools and machines with the precision of a surgeon. The investment in learning and mastering CNC machining can lead to rewarding career paths in various industries, especially as the demand for high-precision parts continues to rise. At Anco Precision Inc., we value our machinists greatly, recognizing their critical role in the success of not just our shop, but also the industries we serve.

How much does a good CNC machine cost?

Investing in a CNC machine is a bit like buying a car — options range from the economical and functional to the high-end and feature-packed. For a good, reliable CNC machine suitable for professional use in a machine shop like ours, prices can start in the tens of thousands of dollars and can go up well into the hundreds of thousands for those top-tier models equipped with all the bells and whistles. It’s crucial to match the machine not only to the budget but also to the specific needs of the projects it will be used for. Splurging on an ultra-high precision machine makes sense for aerospace parts, but might be overkill for simpler jobs. At Anco Precision Inc., we’ve curated our machine fleet over the years to offer versatility and excellence, without passing unnecessary costs onto our clients.
