Precision Service
CNC Turning
Precision lathe turning for shafts, bushings, and cylindrical parts — from Ø2 mm to Ø350 mm, all materials.
Overview
What is CNC Turning?
CNC turning uses a lathe where the workpiece rotates at high speed while a precisely controlled cutting tool removes material. The result is parts with near-perfect cylindrical geometry — shafts, pins, bushings, bearings, and threaded components that require concentricity and surface finish achievable only through precision turning.
Modern CNC lathes with live tooling go further, adding milling, drilling, and tapping capabilities to the lathe platform — enabling complex turned parts with off-centre features all in one setup. Our mill-turn centres combine 5-axis milling with turning for maximum complexity and minimum lead time.
What We Offer
