CNC Turning vs. Milling Route Screener

Describe the feature pattern to screen whether turning, milling, or a combined route deserves the first engineering review.

Part feature inputs

Primary geometry

Critical dimensions share a rotational axis.

Flats, cross-holes, pockets, or off-axis faces are functional.

A datum relationship must survive transfer between setups.

Tool access or changing orientation may require a machining-center review.

Scores show relative review priority only. They do not select a machine, approve a setup, or confirm tolerance. Final routing depends on the drawing, material, quantity, workholding, tool access, inspection, and available equipment.
