We use our VRD and CNC turning and Swiss machining capabilities so that we can manufacture CNC turning parts for any application in prototype and high-volume CNC turning part manufacturing, without sacrificing quality or reliability.
What Does Turning Mean in Machining?
Turning is the most prominent turning process in material machining, in which a workpiece rotates and a tool positioned accordingly is used to remove material by cutting in order to produce a part of the desired contour.
Turning is used to produce key components such as:
- Cylindrical parts, shafts, pins, bores, bushings, fasteners, and so on
- Thread using thread taps and forming tools
- Parts with grooves and other formed features around cylindrical workpieces
Since the tool has to track the direction of the workpiece, the process works very well for parts where centricity and a smooth finish are of utmost importance in any modern precision manufacturing process. Learn more about our precision CNC machining services.
Is CNC Turning a Lathe?
Yes—a CNC turning is a kind of lathe machining, albeit many times more sophisticated and reliant on advanced technology than a conventional lathe operation.
CNC turning is used to control the movement of the tool(s) cutting the part. Rather than manually moving a tool bit, a turner “teaches” a CNC turning apparatus, with multi-lateral and 3D movement, where to move and direction of cutting. Often, there is another variation where the parts is simply moved, and a stationary tool cuts, which is the CNC Swiss turning used for long slender parts.
Traditionally, lathes have relied on controlled manual operation, but CNC technology makes it easily possible to not only track the motion of a lathe tool, but control the path. Newly available CNC lathe turning parts use sophisticated high-precision tools that result in unique parts with very small variation high-quality parts that are ideal for custom CNC turned parts, and OEM orders.
What Is the Advantage of CNC Turning?
The obvious advantages of CNC turning are high precision and repeatability over conventional machining, plus more benefits such as:
- precision tolerances (often ±0.002 mm)
- an inherently faster process with several opportunities to reduce the labor cost accessibility of price info and therefore cutting down the cost/cycle time.
- various materials such as aluminum or brass, stainless steel, and so on may be used.
- growing from prototype units through source with material sources for bulk highvolumeSESprit tends update.

FAQ — CNC Turning Precision Parts
What is the largest CNC turning part that you can produce?
The maximum size of a CNC turning part depends on the size and capacity of the machine. Most CNC lathes can produce parts with a diameter from a few millimetres up to several hundred or 1000 mm diameter, for lengths up to about 2 metres. There are larger custom machines which can CNC turn even bigger parts for industrial applications.
What CNC turning operations can you carry out?
Common CNC turning operations include the following facings, outer diameter (OD) turning, inner diameter (ID) boring, thread cutting, grooving and parting and knurling. With live tooling, a CNC lathe can also carry out drilling and tapping.
CNC turning versus Swiss screw machining: which should I choose?
As a rule of thumb, choose CNC turning if you are producing medium to large cylindrical parts that don’t have demanding tolerances. For small, high-precision parts that need to be produced in long and slender shapes, Swiss screw machining would be a better option.
What finishes can I expect on CNC turning parts?
As with the majority of CNC-machined parts that you will encounter, the finish and tolerance you will receive will be entirely dependent on the tooling that may be used, as well as the parameters that the CNC machine can be programmed for. Generally you can on CNC turning parts expect:
Aesthetic benefit: optional polishing, plating, anodising or coating for aesthetic and corrosion-resistant benefits.
Can I receive CNC turning parts in batch or mass production?
Yes! CNC turning is one of the most scalable manufacturing processes there is.
You can expect the following accordingly:
Automation in the CNC machines will mitigate expensive labour costs, while you will also realise a CNC precision product from one part to the next, after making hundreds or thousands of parts.
