CNC Swiss Machining is a specialized form of CNC machining, often chosen for its precision and stability when cutting long, slender, and/or small parts. Swiss machines feed the stock material through a guide bushing, supporting the material close to the point of cutting, reducing deflection and allowing for far more precise machining over all.
