OEM CNC Turning Stainless Steel Parts Milling Steel Machined Part CNC Machining
Auto Part Brass Aluminum CNC Parts
Our CNC turning process enables the rapid production of custom prototypes and end-use
production parts, often with turnaround times as short as 1 day.
Utilizing a CNC lathe equipped with live tooling capabilities, we can efficiently machine various
features, including axial and radial holes, flats, grooves, and slots.
CNC turning is commonly employed for the following applications:
Functional prototypes and end-use components.
Parts featuring cylindrical characteristics.
Components with axial and radial holes, flats, grooves, and slots.
Product Details
The turning process predominantly employs metals as its primary materials.
These metals encompass alloy steel, carbon steel, cast iron, stainless steel, aluminum, copper,
magnesium, and zinc.
Nonetheless, this versatile process can also be applied to machine plastic components and work
with an array of other materials, including ceramics, composites, thermoplastics, and thermosets.

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
Turning is employed to craft rotational components, usually axially symmetric, with diverse
characteristics like holes, grooves, threads, tapers, differing diameter levels, and even intricate
contoured surfaces.
Products wholly manufactured via turning often encompass components required in limited
quantities, notably for prototypes, such as custom-designed shafts and fasteners.
Furthermore, turning frequently serves as a secondary process for introducing or enhancing
features on parts that were initially crafted using an alternative method.
Some instances of items produced through turning encompass camshafts, crankshafts, baseball
bats, bowls, cue sticks, signboards, musical instruments, as well as table and chair legs.

FAQ's
1. What size of fillets are added when no specific fillet is specified by the 3D model
or drawing?
If a particular fillet radius is not specified in the 3D model or drawing, please indicate your
preference. In the absence of specific instructions, the fillet radii will be added by the machinist
based on their judgment for ease of machining.
As a general guideline, internal vertical edge radii may exceed one-third of the depth,
while internal horizontal edges could be left sharp or have a radius ranging from 0.5mm to 1mm.
2. What industries do you typically work in? Who are your typical customers?
Our extensive experience spans a wide array of industries, making it challenging to pinpoint those
we haven't served.
Our clientele consists of heavy equipment manufacturers, general commercial enterprises,
and businesses within the industrial, transportation, medical, and consumer sectors, among many
others.
While our customer base extends across the United States, Europe, and globally, they share a
common requirement: top-notch machined parts that adhere to specifications, meet deadlines,
and remain budget-friendly.
3. What is your typical lead time? Can my parts be produced on a rush basis?
Our standard lead time, which covers quoting, manufacturing, and shipping for screw machine
products, is typically around one week. We are proud to maintain an on-time delivery rate of
over 99%.
In certain situations, where factors like tooling, gauges, and material availability align favorably,
we can accommodate rush orders and expedited production.
Feel free to inquire about the possibility of expediting your order!
