CNC turning is a type of CNC machining center that uses a lathe to create cylindrical or tapered shapes from metal stock. It is often used to produce small parts with tight tolerances and can be used for both long and short production runs. There are several processes involved in CNC turning, including cutting, drilling, boring, C-Axis milling, and reaming. 

The most crucial factor to consider when choosing a CNC machine for turning is the size and shape of the parts you need to produce. Other factors to consider include: 

  • The number of components you’ll need to produce 
  • The sort of material you’ll be working with 
  • The complexity of each component 
  • Tolerance specifications for each component 

At Vanderslice Machine Company, we specialize in CNC turning. This process involves using computer-controlled tools to shape and finish materials. We use state-of-the-art equipment and software to ensure precise results. Whether you need a small or a large component, we can help.

CNC Turning Process

Cutting

The process of removing material from the stock to create the desired shape. This is accomplished with various cutting tools, such as drills, taps, and mills. 

Drilling

This involves creating holes in a part with a drill bit. Drilling is often used to create threads or passages for other tools. 

Boring

The process of enlarging a hole with a drilling machine. This is used to create smooth, round holes with tight tolerances. 

Milling

This is the process of machining flat surfaces with a milling tool. A CNC vertical milling center is used to create slots, grooves, and other features. 

Reaming

The process of enlarging a hole with a reamer. This is used to create precise holes with smooth surfaces. 

CNC Turning Industries 

CNC turning can be used for a variety of industries, including: 

  • Automotive 
  • Aerospace 
  • Defense 
  • Medical 
  • Industrial
