Precision Milling Services: Customized Solutions for All Your Industrial Needs
Our precision machining workshop offers a full range of machining services, including milling, turning, drilling and tapping, laser cutting, assembly, boring, and quality control.
Milling is a high-precision machining solution that removes material gradually using rotating cutting tools. This process allows for the creation of various shapes and precise geometries in different materials such as metal, plastic, or wood. CNC (Computer Numerical Control) milling is particularly valued for its ability to produce parts with tight tolerances while ensuring increased repeatability and efficiency.
With multi-axis machining, including 3, 4, or 5-axis machines, it is possible to machine parts at various angles without manually repositioning the raw material. This service is widely used in aerospace, automotive, mold manufacturing, and precision engineering sectors, where quality and surface finish are essential.
Our client-focused approach allows us to manufacture parts that meet the highest quality standards. For high-precision machining throughout Quebec, and for top-quality finished products, GM Precision is your best choice!
A Workshop Tailored to Your Needs
- Design and Planning: Understanding the specifications of the part to be machined. Creating the digital model using computer-aided design (CAD) software and converting the CAD model into programming instructions (G-code) for the CNC machine using computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software.
- Machine Programming, Part Setup, and Machine Adjustment: Selecting milling cutters based on the material and required operations (roughing, finishing, grooving, etc.).
- Roughing: Removing most of the excess material using a high-capacity cutter to create an approximate shape of the final part.
- Precision Machining: Using finer cutters to refine the surfaces and performing secondary operations like grooving, drilling, or threading according to specifications.
- Quality Control
- Finishing and Cleaning
- Delivery or Assembly

What is milling?
Milling is a manufacturing process that uses a machine tool called a milling machine to remove material from a raw workpiece using rotating cutting tools. It allows the creation of highly precise parts, smooth surfaces, and complex shapes.
What materials can be milled?
Milling can be used on a wide range of materials, including metals (steel, aluminum, copper, titanium), plastics, composites, and sometimes softer materials like wood. The choice of material depends on the mechanical properties required for the final part.
What are the common applications of milling?
Milling is used in many sectors such as aerospace, automotive, mold manufacturing, industrial and mechanical part production, and in the production of tools and prototypes. It is ideal for creating complex or custom parts, such as gears, housings, plates, and structural components.
What are the advantages of CNC milling over manual methods?
CNC milling offers several advantages over traditional manual methods. First, it ensures increased precision due to computer numerical control, enabling parts to be made with very tight tolerances and flawless finishes. It also eliminates human errors and improves repeatability, essential for the mass production of identical parts. CNC milling is also faster, as it allows continuous operation without interruption, thus reducing production times. Finally, the ability to machine complex shapes, often impossible to achieve manually, makes it an ideal solution for projects requiring high technical complexity.
What types of milling cutters are used in milling?
Several types of milling cutters are used depending on the specific needs of the part to be machined. Cylindrical cutters are used for surface milling and milling large flat surfaces, ball-end mills allow for complex contours and 3D shapes, while dovetail cutters are ideal for grooves and assemblies. Inserted-tooth cutters offer increased flexibility as they allow for replacing worn inserts without replacing the entire cutter. Finally, chamfer mills are used for angled edges or chamfers, improving the finish of the machined part. Each type of cutter is designed to meet precise needs, whether it be for precision, finishing, or cutting speed.
