CNC Milling
In
brief
Milltech provides 3, 4 and 5-axis CNC milling to tolerances as tight as ±0.005 mm (±0.0002"), CMM-verified in Norwich, UK. A deep fleet — including Matsuura Mx330 5-axis and HPLUS300 15-pallet horizontal machines — scales from a single prototype to high-volume production in aluminium, stainless, exotics and plastics.
C-01 · CNC Milling Overview
By continually investing in the latest machinery, our milling cell delivers industry-leading capability across three, four and five axes. From a single prototype to a high-volume programme, we design the optimal machining process for every component.
5-axis capability
Continuous 5-axis machining reaches complex geometries and undercuts in a single setup, for superior accuracy and finish.
Tolerances to ±0.005 mm
We hold tolerances as tight as ±0.005 mm (±0.0002"), verified by CMM inspection.
Built for volume
Multi-pallet horizontal mills keep the floor running for repeatable medium and high-volume work.

Insights
CNC Milling — the detail
Capability & tolerancesWhat tolerances can 5-axis CNC machining achieve?
What tolerances 5-axis CNC machining can achieve, how axis count affects accuracy, and how tolerances are verified — with Milltech's real capability.
Capability & tolerancesWhat is the difference between CNC milling and CNC turning?
CNC milling vs CNC turning explained — how each process works, what parts each suits, and when you need mill-turn to do both in one operation.
Capability & tolerancesWhat is multi-pallet machining and why does it matter for volume?
What multi-pallet and horizontal CNC machining is, how it enables repeatable unmanned production, and why it matters for medium and high volumes.
FAQ
CNC Milling — your questions
What tolerances can your CNC milling hold?
As tight as ±0.005 mm (±0.0002"), verified by CMM inspection.
Do you offer 5-axis CNC milling?
Yes — 3, 4 and continuous 5-axis milling. Continuous 5-axis reaches complex geometries and undercuts in a single setup, for superior accuracy and finish.
Can you mill at volume?
Yes. Multi-pallet horizontal mills — including two Matsuura HPLUS300 15-pallet horizontals and two Matsuura Mx330 5-axis machines — keep the floor running for repeatable medium and high-volume work.
What milling machines do you run?
Matsuura Mx330 5-axis and HPLUS300 15-pallet horizontals, a DMG 5-axis, a HAAS VM3 5-axis, HAAS EC400 horizontals, VF9/VF6/VF5, twelve HAAS VF4s and three Mini Mills — part of a 40+ machine fleet.
How long does it take to get a milling quote?
