Beginning in 2004 , the National Development and Reform Commission ( NDRC ) , the Industrial Division of the China Machine Tool Industry Association initiate work on CNC machine tools - - the special " . Letter dated 28 September 2005 , adopted by the State Council on Speeding up the development of the equipment manufacturing industry " , the development is a priority . Feb . 9 , 2006 , the State Council promulgated the " Medium and Long Term Science and Technology Development Outline 2006 - 2020 ) , the advanced manufacturing industry as a key priority areas , high - end CNC machine tools and basic manufacturing technology was included in the 16 with a special one . Recently , Vice Premier Zeng Peiyan , referring to Accelerate revitalize the equipment manufacturing industry of the Opinions of the State Council when it emphasized especially , reinvigorate the equipment manufacturing industry " should reflect the will of the state " . As many , we do see countries in accelerating the development of " state " , the various policies and measures also came on the industry ' s development . However , the construction of a strong one , requires not only a numerically controlled machine tool , the tool also needs to be advanced , both are equally important significance . The State of cnc machine tool development policy support and commitment is welcome . But if you don ' t have to seize this opportunity to the rapid development of cutting tool and cutting technology , then I am afraid that the future progress of numerically - controlled machine tool or the tool . After all , during the machining of the workpiece to be worked to produce real and direct action of the tool , the tool and cutting technology is affecting the role and functions of the machine tool is realized , and high - grade machining capabilities if left - of - the - art technology and cutting tool will perhaps be unable to realize the dream of a strong one .
