Both techniques have different roles within the machining process.<\/p>\n<p class=\"translation-block\">In the first phase, conventional <a href=\"\/en\/high-precision-production\/machining\/cnc-milling\/\" target=\"_self\">CNC milling<\/a> is often used for rough machining. During this step, most of the material is removed and the component receives its basic shape.<\/p>\n<p class=\"translation-block\">After that, intermediate steps may follow, such as: heat treatment or hardening, <a href=\"\/en\/high-precision-production\/grinding\/\" target=\"_self\">grinding<\/a> of reference surfaces or mating surfaces.<\/p>\n<p>In the final phase, the component is finished using HSM milling. This technique is particularly suitable for the precise milling of complex shapes in hardened steel, with very high dimensional accuracy and a fine surface finish.<\/p>\n<p>Through this combination of techniques, an efficient production process is achieved in which both productivity and precision are maximized.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_col-sm-6 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"w-image us_custom_58ccbf00 align_center\"><div class=\"w-image-h\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tumag.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/hsm-frezen-met-houder-in-carrousel.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"In high-precision milling, it is also important that the tool holders are of high quality.
