A CNC mill is typically used for the same processes that a 'normal' mill is used for. Its advantages lie in being able to create a part directly from a CAD model, and producing identical repeat parts with minimal user interference.

I have a fair amount of experience in designing parts to be machined on a CNC milling machine. A CNC mill gives you an incredible amount of flexibility. It allows you to cut irregular shapes at the press of a button so to speak. Most of the time if you can draw it in CAD you can cut the part. There are also programs that will scan in a hand drawing or existing part and create a CAD drawing. Imagine the rest...
