Frequently Asked Questions About CNC Turning
CNC turning shapes a workpiece by rotating it against a cutting tool. Unlike milling where the tool rotates, in turning, the workpiece rotates. This method works best for cylindrical parts and can make parts with high precision and excellent surface finish, making it perfect for components like shafts, pins, and fasteners.
Our CNC turning operations typically hold tolerances of ±0.001 inches for standard components, with capabilities for tighter tolerances (±0.0005 inches) for critical features depending on part geometry and material. For high-precision work, we can achieve tolerances as tight as ±0.0001 inches on specific features.
Multi-axis turning adds milling capabilities and more movement axes to traditional turning. This lets us machine complex features, off-center holes, and contoured surfaces in a single setup, improving accuracy and cutting production time. Our 7-axis machines can make complex parts that would otherwise need multiple setups or machines.
We turn many materials including stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminum alloys, brass, bronze, titanium, and superalloys like Inconel. Our material knowledge covers standard and exotic metals for demanding applications in aerospace, oil & gas, and other industries.
Our largest turning capacity is 18" (450mm) diameter on the Okuma Multus B400-W, with a maximum length of 59.06" (1500mm). For smaller parts needing higher precision, we have various machines to match specific part sizes and tolerance needs.
CNC turning works best for medium to large parts with diameters up to 18". Swiss machining focuses on small, precise parts (typically under 1.25" diameter) where extreme accuracy and surface finish are critical. We can guide you to the right process based on your part specifications.
