A turned part is quoted per job rather than priced from a list. Five things on the drawing shape the number: how many setups the geometry requires, the tolerance on the tightest feature, the material specified, the quantity ordered, and the inspection documentation the program calls for. Shamrock Precision quotes from the print. Shamrock Precision […]

In CNC turning the workpiece rotates against a fixed cutting tool. In CNC milling the tool rotates against a fixed workpiece. That single reversal decides which process suits a part: turning produces cylindrical geometry such as shafts, pins, bolts, and fasteners, while milling produces prismatic geometry. Shamrock Precision is an ISO 9001 and AS9100 certified

Multi-axis CNC turning adds milling capability and additional axes of movement to a turning center, so complex features, off-center holes, and contoured surfaces can be machined in a single setup. Shamrock Precision runs 4-axis and 7-axis turning in Dallas, Texas, where a 7-axis machine completes parts that would need several setups or several machines without
