FAQ
CNC turning is perfect for creating parts like:
- Cylindrical components
- Screws and bolts
- Shafts and rods
- Bushings and spacers
- Threaded components
- Custom fittings
Turnaround time depends on the complexity of the part, quantity, and current workload. For simple parts, the lead time is usually 2-5 days, while complex or high-volume projects may take 1-2 weeks.
CNC turning is best suited for parts with rotational symmetry. However, features like grooves, threads, and complex contours can be added. Non-cylindrical designs may require additional CNC milling operations.
Pricing depends on factors like:
- Material type
- Part complexity
- Tolerances and surface finish requirements
- Quantity of parts
Yes, many CNC turning services offer secondary processes, including:
- Polishing
- Anodizing
- Plating (e.g., chrome or zinc plating)
- Heat treatment
- Surface grinding
- Lathes: Standard CNC lathes for basic turning operations.
- Swiss-style Lathes: For small, intricate parts.
- Multi-axis CNC Turning Centers: Combine turning and milling for complex parts in a single setup.
Yes, CNC turning can produce custom internal and external threads in both metric and imperial standards.
CNC turning can produce parts with varying surface finishes, such as:
- As-machined: Basic finish from the cutting tool.
- Polished: Smooth, reflective surfaces.
- Matte: Non-reflective surfaces.
- Bead blasting: For uniform textures.
- Anodizing or plating: For enhanced durability or aesthetics.
- 2-axis turning: Basic lathes for cylindrical and symmetrical parts.
- 3-axis turning: Adds a milling tool for additional features like slots or flat surfaces.
- Multi-axis turning: Combines turning and milling on multiple axes for complex, asymmetrical parts.
Modern CNC lathes with live tooling and multi-axis capabilities can handle complex geometries, including:
- Grooves and slots
- Undercuts
- Tapered or contoured surfaces
- Off-center holes
- Optimize part design to minimize complex features.
- Choose readily available materials.
- Order larger quantities to lower the cost per unit.
- Use tolerances only as tight as necessary for functionality.
