How to choose different CNC machining tools
In addition, the cost of the cutting tool also affects the cost of the overall equipment. The material, coating and geometry of the tool all affect this cost. For example, carbide-tipped tools are harder, more resistant to high temperatures and can withstand high speeds, costing as much as twice as much as steel tools.
Why do CNC mills cost more?
Milling machines are generally more expensive than lathes because of the more complex moving parts. Milling machines are more difficult to assemble, operate and maintain, but enable more complex operations. Therefore, CNC milling machines are generally more expensive to operate than other machine tools.
There are different types of milling machines, varying in complexity and capability level. The more axes a milling machine has, the more expensive it is. Most modern CNC machines have three or five axes. Although five-axis machines can produce very complex geometries more accurately and quickly (and therefore require less machining time), they are generally much more expensive than their three-axis counterparts.
