   A CNC machine that operates on wood CNC machines typically use some kind of coolant, typically a water-miscible oil, to keep the tool and parts from getting hot. A CNC metal lathe with the door open. In machining, numerical control, also called computer numerical control (CNC), [1] is the automated control of tools by means of a computer. [2]

   Additionally, as CNC operators become more in demand, automation becomes a more viable choice than labor. [citation needed] During the early 1970s the Western economies were mired in slow economic growth and rising employment costs, and NC machines started to become more attractive.

7. Milling (machining) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milling_(machining)

   The original class of machine tools for milling was the milling machine (often called a mill). After the advent of computer numerical control (CNC) in the 1960s, milling machines evolved into machining centers: milling machines augmented by automatic tool changers, tool magazines or carousels, CNC capability, coolant systems, and enclosures ...
