CNC Turning
Our CNC turning process produces custom prototypes and end-use production parts in as fast as 1 day. We use a CNC lathe with live tooling so features like axial and radial holes, flats, grooves, and slots can be machined.
What is CNC Turning?
CNC turning is a subtractive manufacturing process that rotates a metal rod while a cutting tool is held against the stock to remove material and create final parts. Our CNC lathes are also equipped with live tooling that can machine flat features and holes into the workpiece. Outside diameter (OD) and inside diameter (ID) threading is also available.
Turned parts can then be left as-machined, with visible tool marks, or bead blasted. When the run is complete, parts are inspected, boxed and shipped shortly thereafter.

Watch: Why use CNC Turning with Live Tooling
See how CNC lathes can create cylindrical features, off-axis holes, flats, slots, and grooves in functional prototypes and end-use, production parts.
Threaded Hole on Machined Parts
Our CNC machining service provides the ability to easily add threaded features to milled and turned parts. See which threading options are available.
