2. Improve the quality and accuracy of the products.
3. Can do complicated design.
4. More uniform.
5. Provide varying diameter of holes.

The image below shows stepped holes from our product, from this we can tell the products is more uniform than using hand drill. This can be acquired using CNC drilling method, check out our latest medical application products here.
