A CNC (computer numerical control) machining center with a box slide is a type of machine tool that uses computer-controlled operations to shape and finish materials. The box slide refers to the design of the machine’s moving parts, specifically the linear guides or “slides” that support the movement of the cutting tool. This design allows for greater stability and precision in the cutting process. The box slide can be used to make a variety of parts, including those with complex geometries, and is often used in the manufacturing of aerospace, automotive, and medical components.
