Turned round
parts, precisely
controlled.
Shafts, bushings, threads and tapers cut on CNC lathes with live tooling — rotational geometry held to tight tolerances and production-ready finishes.
How the Process Works
What CNC turning actually does, supporting turned component production.
Turning holds the workpiece in a horizontal, adjustable spindle. As the workpiece rotates, cutting tools are applied to carve circular shapes and features — rings, grooves, slots, contours, radii, internal bores and threads, supporting turned component production.
On our Haas turning mills, an extra axis of movement lets us work perpendicular to the lathe spindle for square faces or bored holes — opening up CNC processing possibilities a standard lathe can't reach.
Turning is selected for any rotationally symmetrical shape, removing material efficiently while leaving a surface finish that sometimes production goals no post-processing at all.
Cylindrical parts
appropriate for round or cylindrical components, produced at high speed and with high dimensional accuracy.
Surface finish
strong as-cut finishes that often eliminate the need for additional finishing, supporting turned component production.
Tapers & threads
creates tapered features and threads cleanly — features that can be intricate in milling.
Production rate
Capable of rapid output, especially on elevated-volume runs of similar components.
Turning vs Milling
Selecting the appropriate process
Both remove material — the difference is what moves. Click to focus a workflow.
CNC Turning
appropriate for creating cylindrical components, where the workpiece rotates and the tool remains stationary.
CNC Milling
Used for components with intricate, non-rotational shapes, where both the workpiece and the tool can move along multiple axes.

Tolerances
Tolerance planning for functional specifications
We follow ISO 2768 (medium) for plastics and ISO 2768 (fine) for metals, consistently holding tolerances starting using ±0.005″ (±0.125mm) down to ±0.002″ (±0.05mm).
For tighter features, we work straight starting with your 2D technical drawings to hit the exact spec — so the component performs exactly as designed.
