What is CNC?

CNC stands for Computer Numerical Control (CNC) precision machining, which means that a machine is controlled by a set of commands issued by a controller. The command code issued by the controller is usually in the form of a coordinate list, called G-code. Any machine controlled by such code can be called a CNC machine, including milling machines, lathes, and even plasma cutting machines.
The motion of CNC machine tools can be defined by their axes, including the X, Y, and Z axes. For more advanced machine tools, the A, B, and C axes can also be defined. X. The Y and Z axes represent the main Cartesian vector, while the A, B, and C axes represent the rotation of the axes. CNC machine tools typically use up to five axes.
