CNC Lathing

20 CNC lathe machines in Shenzhen, China — Swiss-type, live-tooling, and large-bore lathing for precision cylindrical parts from Ø2 mm to Ø350 mm.

Overview

CNC Lathing Service from China

CNC lathing — operating a CNC lathe to produce precision cylindrical parts — is one of the most fundamental and high-demand processes in precision manufacturing. OrangeSea CNC runs a dedicated fleet of 20 CNC lathe machines in our Shenzhen facility, covering every lathing requirement from delicate Swiss-type micro-lathing to heavy-duty large-bore lathe work on flanges, coupling bodies, and heavy shafts.

Our CNC lathing service handles single prototypes through production runs of 10,000+ pieces. Every CNC lathe job is programmed with CAM software, first-article verified on our CMM, and shipped with a full quality documentation package. With 20 CNC lathe machines running three shifts, we maintain short lead times even on urgent CNC lathing orders.

Sourcing CNC lathing from China through OrangeSea gives procurement teams access to the same quality documentation — CMM reports, material certificates, Certificates of Conformance — that aerospace, medical, and defence customers demand, at the cost advantages of Shenzhen manufacturing.
