Lathe Turning Service

CNC machining, which stands for Computer Numerical Control machining, involves the automated

removal of material from raw stock based on computer-generated instructions.

This versatile process can be applied to nearly any material, ranging from expanded polyurethane

foam to nickel superalloys. Common applications of CNC machining include the fabrication of parts

for various industries, ornamental furniture, and the production of turbine blades.

The cost associated with CNC machining is heavily influenced by factors such as required precision,

surface quality, quantity, material composition, and the overall complexity of the part.

Product Details

CNC machining encompasses a wide range of materials, with three main categories:

plastics, soft metals, and hard metals. These materials are versatile and suitable for various

machining applications.

Examples of materials used in CNC milling include aluminum, bronze, copper, ceramics, plywood,

various types of steel, stone, wood, and zinc, among others.

Certain materials, such as aluminum and mild steel, are favored by machinists due to their ease

of workability and excellent properties, making them industry standards for many applications.

Post-processing and surface finishes for CNC machining

CNC-machined parts as they emerge from the machine often exhibit visible tool marks,

a feature that may not align with your specific part requirements.

Fortunately, there exists a multitude of post-processing techniques aimed at enhancing the

surface appearance and elevating attributes such as wear resistance, corrosion resistance,

and chemical resistance.

Methods like anodizing, bead blasting, and powder coating present viable options for refining

the final presentation of your custom parts, allowing you to achieve the desired surface

quality and performance characteristics.

Specialist Industries

Turning, a manufacturing process known for producing rotational, axi-symmetric parts, boasts the

capability to create components with intricate features such as holes, grooves, threads, tapers,

and contoured surfaces.

This method is particularly adept at fashioning limited-quantity items, notably custom-designed

shafts and fasteners used in prototypes. Moreover, turning serves as a valuable secondary process

to enhance or add features to parts manufactured through alternative methods.

Examples of products crafted through turning include camshafts, crankshafts, baseball bats, bowls,

cue sticks, signboards, musical instruments, as well as table and chair legs.

3. The cost of CNC machining a part depends on a range of factors, some of which are

listed below:

The cost of CNC machining a part is shaped by a variety of factors, including:

1. Material: Material selection introduces cost variations, with materials like aluminum being

more economical to machine compared to others like Inconel, attributed to factors such as tool

wear and cutting speeds.

2. Complexity: Parts featuring intricate designs incur higher machining costs. The complexity

of surface shapes, for instance, significantly influences overall machining expenses.

3. Tolerances: The precision demanded by dimensional tolerances impacts CNC machining costs.

Imposing overly tight tolerances on non-critical features can lead to unnecessary cost escalation.

4. Surface Finish: Achieving mirror finishes demands specialized tools and machining strategies,

extending machining time and, consequently, increasing costs.

5. Quantity: Production volume is a key determinant of costs. Low-volume production tends to be

costlier per part, as initial setup and programming costs are distributed over a smaller production run.
