Product Overview
Turned components produced on CNC lathes in aluminium, brass, stainless steel and other materials, with milling and polishing as secondary operations. Turning suits any part whose main features are round: shafts, axles, bushings, connectors and pins. Parts are made to the customer drawing and can be finished to the surface quality the application requires.
Key Benefits
- Round features produced concentric in one set up
- Aluminium, brass and stainless steel from the same supplier
- Secondary milling for flats, slots and cross holes
- Polishing where surface finish matters for sealing or appearance
- Repeatable production once the programme and fixtures are proven
Problems It Solves
- Concentricity errors when round features are machined in separate set ups
- Surface finish that is not good enough for a shaft seal to run against
- Prototype suppliers who cannot hold the same part in production volumes
- Mixed material requirements spread across several suppliers
Where It Is Used
Applications And Buyers
Application Scenarios
- Automotive parts such as axles, shafts and bushings

What Can Be Varied
- Parts machined to your drawing and tolerance scheme
- Material grade agreed before production
- Surface finish specified per feature
- Secondary milling for flats, slots and cross holes
- Batch sizes from prototype to production
Compared With The Alternatives
| CNC milling parts | Turning is the cheaper and more accurate route for round parts; milling takes over where the part is prismatic or has features on several faces. |
|---|---|
| Centreless ground bar | Ground bar is cheaper for plain shafts; turning is needed as soon as the part has steps, threads or bores. |
Use Guide
- State which diameters run in bearings or seals so finish is specified there
- Mark concentricity requirements between features rather than as a blanket note
- Confirm material condition, since free machining grades cut differently
- Request a first article report before releasing a production batch
