CNC Turning
Service

CNC turning is a subtractive manufacturing process where a workpiece rotates while a stationary cutting tool removes material to produce cylindrical, conical, threaded, and profiled rotational parts. It is the most efficient process for shafts, bushings, flanges, sleeves, threaded connectors, and any component with a primary rotational geometry. With live tooling, CNC turning centers can also perform cross-drilling, flat milling, and slotting in the same setup.

CNC turning is best suited for parts with a primary rotational geometry: shafts, stepped shafts, bushings, sleeves, spacers, pins, studs, flanges, threaded connectors, hubs, rollers, valve stems, nozzles, and bearing seats. Parts requiring external and internal diameters, threads, grooves, tapers, and bores are ideal candidates. Live tooling extends this to include cross-holes, flats, and keyways.

Our CNC turning centers accommodate parts up to Ø600 mm in outer diameter and up to 3000 mm in length. For parts outside these ranges, contact us directly to discuss your requirements.

Yes. Our turning centers are equipped with live tooling (C/Y axis capability), allowing us to machine cross-holes, flats, slots, keyways, and simple milled features in the same setup as the turning operations. This eliminates secondary operations, reduces re-fixturing error, and shortens lead time significantly.

Yes. In a single CNC turning setup we can produce: external and internal threads (metric, imperial, and custom pitch), undercut grooves, O-ring grooves, sealing grooves, tapers, bores, and — with live tooling — cross-holes, flats, and keyways. Concentrating these features in one setup avoids re-fixturing errors and improves dimensional relationships between features.

We turn all major engineering materials including stainless steel (303, 304, 316L, 17-4PH), carbon and alloy steel (1018, 1045, 4140, 4340), aluminum (6061, 7075), brass (C360, C260), copper (C110), titanium (Grade 2, Grade 5/TC4), and engineering plastics (Delrin/POM, Nylon, PEEK, PTFE). Free-cutting grades like 1215 and 12L14 are stocked for high-volume precision turning.

Our standard CNC turning tolerance is ±0.01 mm. For precision bore fits and shaft diameters, we routinely hold h6, g6, H7, and similar ISO fits. Concentricity and runout are verified on critical rotational components. Tighter tolerances are achievable depending on material, feature type, and part geometry.

Yes. We support CNC turning from single-piece prototypes to high-volume production runs — all from the same facility with the same quality system. Prototypes typically ship in 3–5 business days. There is no minimum order quantity.

Standard CNC turning handles the main range of rotational parts from small to large diameters (up to Ø600 mm). Swiss CNC turning is specifically designed for long, slender, small-diameter parts (Ø0.5–32 mm) where the sliding headstock provides continuous workpiece support to achieve L/D ratios up to 100:1 without deflection. If your part is a small-diameter precision component like a medical pin or miniature connector, Swiss turning is the appropriate process. For standard shafts, flanges, bushings, and connectors, CNC turning is the right choice.
