Frequently Asked Questions

What tolerances can you hold for CNC Lathe Machining?

Achievable tolerances for CNC Lathe Machining depend on the alloy, geometry and feature size. Turning holds diameter tolerances to around ±0.005 mm with concentricity within 0.01 mm. Exact figures are confirmed against your drawing callouts.

What is CNC Lathe Machining and how is it done?

CNC Lathe Machining refers to cNC lathe machining produces precision rotational parts with combined turning, facing, drilling and threading. VT machining produces each part to your CAD drawing, selecting parameters from your tolerance, finish and quantity requirements.

Does CNC Lathe Machining require dedicated tooling?

Most CNC Lathe Machining work uses standard cutting tools and CNC programs; dedicated fixtures are made only when geometry or volume requires them.

What material thickness or size range suits CNC Lathe Machining?

Turned the material parts are produced from bar or chuck stock across a wide diameter range.

Can VT machining make custom parts to my drawing?

Yes. CNC Lathe Machining is made to order from your CAD/2D drawing. Share your geometry, material grade, tolerance and quantity and we will confirm feasibility, lead time and pricing.
