Types of CNC Turning Services
CNC turning is a lathe machining process that involves removing material from the outer surface of a workpiece. The following types of CNC turning services are available:
Cylindrical Turning
It is a technique that consistently reduces the diameter of the workpiece to ensure uniformity in the cutting diameter, eliminating any variations.
Taper Turning
Taper turning shapes a workpiece into a cylinder with a gradually decreasing diameter, creating a conical form for improved fit.
Grooving
Grooving is a type of CNC turning process in which a narrow cavity is formed by pressing a shaped tool into the workpiece.
Parting
Parting is a machining process that cuts a workpiece to remove an entire piece from it, creating separate components.
Spherical Generation
A shape is generated around a fixed axis using a program that gradually decreases the diameter to zero, achieving a perfect spherical form.
Knurling
The knurling process involves cutting a workpiece with a textured, serrated pattern. This technique is applied to materials that require improved grip.
Threading
Threading is a type of CNC turning process that produces grooves, enabling the workpiece to be easily screwed into other objects or components.
Boring
A single-point tool is advanced linearly, parallel to the axis of rotation, along the inner diameter of a pre-existing hole in the component.
How does CNC Turning Work?
CNC turning is a manufacturing technique that involves rotating a workpiece while a cutting tool removes material to achieve the desired shape or dimensions. This process is automated and managed by computer numerical control (CNC) software.
Here are the fundamental steps of CNC turning:
- Workpiece Setup:
The workpiece is securely mounted onto the lathe spindle, often using a chuck or collet to hold it firmly. - Tool Setup:
A cutting tool is chosen based on the required shape and material of the workpiece. This tool is then mounted onto the lathe’s tool turret. - Programming:
The CNC software is utilized to program the lathe with the specifications for the final product, including the cutting tool’s speed and feed rate. - Turning:
The lathe rotates the workpiece at a set speed while the cutting tool traverses its surface, removing material to create the intended shape. - Finishing:
After achieving the rough shape, the cutting tool is swapped for a finishing tool to smooth the surface of the workpiece. - Inspection:
The completed workpiece undergoes inspection to verify that it meets the specified requirements.

Our Capabilities
CNC Machining Surface Finishes
We provide finishes for aesthetics and performance: anodizing, polishing, sandblasting, coatings, and heat treatment. Let’s find the right one!
As Machined
This machined finish is rough and displays tool marks, representing the most basic form of surface treatment without any additional finishing or polishing.
Anodizing
It creates a protective oxide layer on aluminum, increasing corrosion resistance and hardness, and allowing for dyeing to enhance appearance.
Polishing
Polishing smooths surfaces to a high sheen, enhancing appearance and reducing roughness while offering some corrosion protection.
Brushed Finish
A brushed finish has fine, parallel lines for a textured look, enhancing grip and reducing fingerprints.
Sandblasting
Sandblasting uses high-pressure air and abrasive particles to clean or texture surfaces, enhancing adhesion for coatings.
Electropolish
Electropolishing is an electrochemical process that smooths and brightens metal surfaces, removing imperfections and enhancing corrosion resistance.
