Custom CNC Turned Parts Stainless Steel Mechanical Part CNC Medical Parts Manufacturing

CNC turning is a manufacturing process that creates parts by securing a raw material blank on a

rotating chuck and then precisely removing material using stationary cutting tools.

This technology is particularly well-suited for crafting parts that possess symmetry along their

central axis. Typically, turned parts can be produced more quickly and cost-effectively

compared to milled parts.

Product Details

The turning process primarily involves the machining of various metals.

These metals encompass a wide range of materials, including alloy steel, carbon steel, cast iron,

stainless steel, aluminum, copper, magnesium, and zinc.

Nevertheless, it is essential to note that the turning process is not limited to metals alone;

it can also be applied to plastic components and a diverse array of materials such as ceramics,

composites, thermoplastics, and thermosetting materials.

CNC Machining Tolerances

Typical machining tolerances fall within the range of ± 0.005 inches or 0.13 millimeters.

Tolerances represent the allowable variation for a specific dimension.

For instance, if a CNC machining tool has a tolerance of ± 0.01 millimeters, it means that the tool

can deviate by 0.01 millimeters in each cut.

When provided with a drawing, Our CNC machining service can achieve CNC parts with tolerances

as tight as ± 0.0002 inches.

In the absence of a drawing, all CNC parts are manufactured according to our ISO 2768 medium

standard. We can also work to even tighter tolerances, such as ± 0.025 millimeters or ± 0.001

inches, when an engineering drawing specifies critical features.

Company Profile

Advantages of the Turning Process

The turning process offers several advantages, including:

1. Versatile Material Compatibility:
Turning can be applied to a wide range of materials, including metals, wood, and plastics,

making it a highly versatile manufacturing process.

2. Exceptional Tolerance:
Turning allows for the creation of parts with exceptionally high tolerances. Its ability to achieve

precise surface finishes and tight tolerances makes it ideal for adding precision rotational features

to already formed parts.

3. Short Lead Time:
Turning is known for its short lead time, which refers to the time between order placement and

final delivery. The efficiency of the turning process contributes to its quick turnaround.

4. Minimal Operator Expertise Required:
Unlike some complex machining processes, turning does not demand a highly skilled machine

operator. A machinist can attain certification from an accredited industrial training organization

after completing a standard amount of coursework to operate a CNC lathe effectively.

5. Adjustable Material Removal Rate:
Turning offers the advantage of adjustable material removal rates. Lathes can operate at varying

speeds, allowing for precise control over material removal based on factors like the material being

machined and the desired end product.

These advantages make the turning process a valuable choice in manufacturing, offering flexibility,

precision, efficiency, and ease of operation across a broad spectrum of materials and applications.
