A computer numerical control (CNC) machining apparatus, comprising:
- a first base having a top side, a bottom side, a width, and a length having a proximate end and a distal end, wherein said length spans along a Y-axis of a 3 dimension (3D) Cartesian orthogonal coordinate system further having a X-axis and a Z-axis;
- a second base vertically erected in said Z-axis and on said top surface at said distal end and perpendicular to said first base;
- a tool head support assembly having a tool head, connected to and move a tool head in an omni-directional;
- and
- a plurality of rotatable clamps configured to independently hold, release, and move a workpiece along said Y-axis and independently rotate a workpiece 360° around said Y-axis.

A method for machining a workpiece in according to a specification design, comprising:
- independently holding and releasing said workpiece using a plurality of rotatable clamping devices controlled by said CNC machining apparatus;
- moving said workpiece linearly by independently holding, releasing, and moving said plurality of rotatable clamping devices numerically controlled by said CNC machining apparatus;
- and
- rotating said workpiece 360° around itself to a side where said specification design needs to perform using said plurality of rotatable clamping devices numerically controlled by said CNC machining apparatus.
