Product Details
The turning process primarily involves the machining of various metals.
These metals encompass a wide range of materials, including alloy steel, carbon steel, cast iron,
stainless steel, aluminum, copper, magnesium, and zinc.
Nevertheless, it is essential to note that the turning process is not limited to metals alone;
it can also be applied to plastic components and a diverse array of materials such as ceramics,
composites, thermoplastics, and thermosetting materials.
Common Materials | |
Name | Description |
Aluminum | High machinability and ductility, good strength-to-weight ratio. |
Stainless steel | High tensile strength, corrosion and temperature resistant. |
Mild steel | High machinability and weldability, high stiffness. |
Brass | Low friction, excellent electrical conductivity, golden appearance. |
Copper | Excellent thermal and electrical conductivity. |
Titanium | Excellent strength to weight ratio, used in aerospace, automotive and medical industries. |
POM | High stiffness, high accuracy, low friction, easy to machine. |
ABS | Common thermoplastic, impact resistant, easy to machine. |
Nylon | Excellent mechanical properties, thermal, chemical and abrasion resistant. |
CNC Machining Tolerances
Typical machining tolerances fall within the range of ± 0.005 inches or 0.13 millimeters.
Tolerances represent the allowable variation for a specific dimension.
For instance, if a CNC machining tool has a tolerance of ± 0.01 millimeters, it means that the tool
can deviate by 0.01 millimeters in each cut.
When provided with a drawing, Our CNC machining service can achieve CNC parts with tolerances
as tight as ± 0.0002 inches.
In the absence of a drawing, all CNC parts are manufactured according to our ISO 2768 medium
standard. We can also work to even tighter tolerances, such as ± 0.025 millimeters or ± 0.001
inches, when an engineering drawing specifies critical features.
CNC Turning Tolerances | ||
Limits for nominal size | Plastics | Metals |
0.5mm* to 3mm | ±0.1mm | ±0.05mm |
Over 3mm to 6mm | ±0.1mm | ±0.05mm |
Over 6mm to 30mm | ±0.2mm | ±0.10mm |
Over 30mm to 120mm | ±0.3mm | ±0.15mm |
Over 120mm to 400mm | ±0.5mm | ±0.20mm |
Over 400mm to 1000mm | ±0.8mm | ±0.30mm |
Over 1000mm to 2000mm | ±1.2mm | ±0.50mm |
Over 2000mm to 4000mm | ±2.0mm | |
*Please clearly indicate tolerances for nominal sizes below 0.5mm on your technical drawing. |
Applications of CNC Turning
CNC turning services are indispensable in several key industries, with a significant impact on
transportation sectors like aerospace, automotive, mass transit, rail and locomotive, military,
and trucking. Within these realms, CNC machines are instrumental in crafting essential
transportation equipment, ranging from headnuts and gear blanks to bearing blocks, levers,
axles, and rotors.
In the construction industry, CNC machines are harnessed to produce robust bolts and screws,
crafted from materials like stainless steel and aluminum, crucial for handling heavy-duty
applications.
Furthermore, CNC turning services are pivotal in the manufacturing of diverse auto parts,
encompassing engine components like cylinder heads, connecting rods, and camshafts,
transmission parts including shafts and rings, as well as suspension components like sway bars,
control arms, and tie rod ends.
The aviation sector also benefits significantly from CNC turned parts, utilizing them for the
customization and production of probes, joint connectors, fasteners, and engine and aircraft
components, often opting for titanium due to its resilience to extreme temperatures.

4. How much do CNC machining materials cost?
The multitude of materials available for CNC machining introduces a range of costs, influenced by
the unique properties and characteristics of each material. In the realm of metal parts, Aluminum
6061 is a standout for its economical pricing.
If cost efficiency is a priority, ABS takes the lead as the most budget-friendly option.
Importantly, the ease of machining is a key factor impacting costs. Stainless steel, known for its
hardness in comparison to aluminum, presents higher machining complexities, contributing to an
overall increase in costs.
