Jig and fixtures commonly called together have a small difference but large in their combined applications.  Jigs A jig is a work-holding device that holds, supports, and locates the workpiece and guides the one or more tools to perform a specific operation. In other words, this can also be defined as something that is used for holding the tools and also guiding the cutting tools. repeatability, accuracy, and interchangeability in the manufacturing of products are the main purpose of a jig. Certain points you should know about jigs are: Until a large operation has to be performed jigs are not fixed to the machine table. Processes like drilling, tapping, and reaming, etc. those are uni-dimensional machining processes that generally require jigs.  Light and a complex shape is what jigs appear. Jigs are expensive. Gauge blocks are not necessary. Fixtures Very similar to Jigs, fixtures are also the work holding devices, which hold, support, and locate the workpiece but not guides the cutti

CNC milling machines are nothing but cutting tools. These are programmed and managed by Computer Numerical Control (CNC) systems. They accurately remove materials from a workpiece. Using a Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software, the end result which is a specific part or product is achieved. Design of CNC Milling Machines A main spindle and three-linear –axes are the components of CNC milling machines. The three-linear-axes are required to position or move the part to be machined. More precise shapes are formed with the help of 4th or 5th rotational axis which is part of advanced forms of milling machines. Also, when varying dimensions and sizes are to be machined these advanced versions are used. Working principle of CNC machines Its working principle is very simple and easy to understand. The milling process involves securing a piece of pre-shaped material (also known as the workpiece) to a fixture attached to a platform in the milling machine. A rapidly rotating tool remove small chip
