Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our CNC turning services
CNC turning is a machining process where the workpiece rotates while cutting tools remain stationary to create cylindrical parts. Unlike CNC milling where the cutting tool rotates and the workpiece is typically stationary, turning is ideal for producing round components like shafts, pins, and bushings. CNC lathes excel at achieving high precision on symmetrical parts with excellent surface finishes and tight concentricity tolerances.
Our CNC turning services can achieve dimensional tolerances as tight as ±0.001" (±0.025mm) depending on the material, part geometry, and size. Standard tolerances are typically ±0.005" for most applications. We also maintain excellent geometric tolerances including roundness within 0.01mm, concentricity within 0.02mm, and surface finishes from Ra 0.4 to 3.2μm. Critical dimensions and specific tolerance requirements are discussed during the quoting process.
We machine a wide range of materials including aluminum alloys (6061, 7075, 2024), stainless steels (303, 304, 316L, 17-4PH), carbon steels, tool steels, brass, copper, bronze, titanium (Grade 2, Ti-6Al-4V), and engineering plastics (PEEK, Delrin, Nylon, PTFE). Material selection depends on your application requirements such as strength, corrosion resistance, biocompatibility, or electrical properties. We can also source specialty materials upon request.
Live tooling refers to powered cutting tools mounted on a CNC lathe that can rotate independently while the workpiece is also rotating. This capability allows for milling, drilling, tapping, and other operations to be performed on turned parts without requiring a second setup on a milling machine. Benefits include reduced handling, improved accuracy, shorter lead times, and cost savings for complex parts requiring both turning and milling operations.
Our CNC turning capabilities accommodate parts with maximum diameters up to 400mm (15.75") and maximum lengths up to 1000mm (39.37"). Minimum diameter capability is 2mm (0.079") for precision small parts. Bar stock capacity varies by machine, typically handling materials from 6mm to 100mm diameter. For parts outside these ranges, we can discuss alternative solutions or partner facilities to meet your specific requirements.
Standard lead times range from 5-10 business days depending on complexity and quantity. For urgent projects, we offer expedited service with parts delivered in as fast as 24-48 hours. Factors affecting delivery time include part complexity, material availability, surface finishing requirements, and current production schedule. We provide realistic delivery estimates during the quoting process and maintain clear communication throughout production.
We maintain ISO 9001:2015, AS9100D, ISO 13485:2016, and IATF 16949:2016 certifications. Quality services include First Article Inspection (FAI), in-process quality control, final dimensional verification, CMM measurement reports, material certifications, and surface finish verification. All parts undergo 100% inspection with detailed documentation. Special certifications like RoHS compliance, material traceability, and custom inspection reports are available upon request.
Yes, we accommodate orders from single prototype parts to high-volume production runs exceeding 100,000 pieces. Our flexible manufacturing approach includes rapid prototyping for design verification, low-volume production for market testing, and high-volume manufacturing for established products. We optimize processes and tooling based on your volume requirements to ensure cost-effectiveness at every quantity level.
We accept all common CAD file formats including STEP (.stp), IGES (.igs), Parasolid (.x_t), SolidWorks (.sldprt), Inventor (.ipt), and 2D drawings in PDF or DWG format. 3D models are preferred for accurate quoting and DFM analysis. If you have other file formats, please contact us to discuss compatibility. We also provide design assistance and can work from sketches or specifications for custom requirements.
Yes, we provide comprehensive secondary operations including threading (metric and imperial), knurling, grooving, drilling, boring, heat treatment, and various surface finishes. Finishing options include anodizing, powder coating, plating (zinc, nickel, chrome), passivation for stainless steel, and custom coatings. Our live tooling capabilities allow many secondary operations to be performed in the same setup, reducing costs and improving accuracy.
