CNC machining
Cutting strategies, stability, chip evacuation and the decisions that turn a program into a reliable process.

starts on the shop floor.
I share what I have learned at the machine and what I am still discovering about CNC, machining, processes, automation and new technologies.

FROM THE SHOP FLOOR TO ADVANCED MANUFACTURINGA production perspective.
01 / MY STORY
My roots are
in production.
+10years around machine tools, processes and mountains of chips.
I started on conventional lathes. CNC came next, bringing new challenges and a different way to manufacture.
For more than ten years, I have worked with programs, tools, fixtures, prototypes and production runs. I have looked for solutions to the problems that arise when you need to make one part or thousands, while keeping the process stable and sustainable.
I have also tried to balance full-time work with building projects of my own around machining. Over several years and a few attempts, none made it all the way, but each taught me something valuable and brought me a little closer to my goal.
That is where Alejandro Torres CNC comes from: to share real experience, tell my story, help where I can, meet other professionals and keep learning.

From the drawing
to the finished part.
Practical knowledge for those working at a machine and for those taking their first steps.
Tooling and processes
Geometries, toolholders and selection criteria explained through their real effect on quality, cycle time and tool life.
Open Tooling and processes
Advanced manufacturing
Automation, robotics and connected machines applied with purpose to improve processes without losing sight of people.

03 / LOOKING AHEAD
The next generation
has a place
on the shop floor, too.
Machining brings together mechanics, programming, automation, robotics and know-how. I want to help young people discover that side of our profession.
Over time, I also hope to pass on practical experience in setup, processes, tooling and CNC programming.
I do not claim to know it all.
I want to keep learning and share what I learn.
04 / LET’S CONNECT
Shall we share
what we know?
I want to meet workshops, manufacturers, distributors, training centres and professionals who bring technology into real production environments.
