To use a Vertical Machining Center (VMC) involves a series of steps, from setting up the machine to executing the machining process. This general guide mainly include Safety Precautions, Work-piece Preparation, Tool Selection and Setup, CNC Program Setup, Machine Initialization, Tool Setup, Machining Operations, Tool Changes and etc. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions and safety guidelines when using a VMC, and seek proper training if you are unfamiliar with the machine's operation.

The Vertical Machining Center (VMC) works by using a computer numerical control (CNC) system to precisely control the movement of cutting tools in various directions while removing material from a stationary work-piece. It works by precisely controlling the movement of cutting tools to shape and finish a stationary work-piece based on a programmed CNC System. This process allows for efficient and accurate manufacturing of complex parts with various milling machining operations.

A vertical machining center (VMC), also known as a vertical milling center, is a type of computer numerical control (CNC) milling machine used for precision machining operations, primarily milling. It has vertical spindle orientation. This means that the cutting tool moves up and down along the vertical axis, while the work-piece remains stationary or moves horizontally.
