CNC Swiss Machining Nickel is a core capability at VT machining. We combine controlled turning with material-aware setup for Nickel — an alloy that is corrosion and heat resistant — to produce parts that meet your specification first time.
CNC Swiss Machining Capability for Nickel
- Ø1–32 mm bar
- Slenderness without deflection
- Tolerance to ±0.003 mm
- High-volume small parts
How CNC Swiss Machining Nickel Works
The Nickel bar or billet rotates in the spindle while single-point tools shape outer diameters, bores, faces, grooves and threads. Constant surface speed control keeps cutting conditions stable from large to small diameters.
We start from your supplied geometry and tolerance scheme. The setup is designed to minimise re-clamping, which protects positional accuracy across features. A first article is verified against the drawing before the balance of the batch is released.
Secondary Operations & Finishing
Most Nickel parts need some finishing, which we manage in-house or through vetted partners. Options include deburring and edge-breaking, heat treatment, surface grinding, polishing, and plating or anodising for corrosion resistance and appearance. Give us the finished-part requirement and we will sequence every operation correctly.
CNC Swiss Machining Quality & Inspection
Quality is built in, not inspected on. We monitor key features during the run and confirm them at final inspection, with CMM verification available for tight tolerances. We provide the inspection and traceability records your quality system requires.
CNC Swiss Machining Tolerances & Surface Finish
Turned Nickel holds diameter tolerances to about ±0.005 mm with concentricity within 0.01 mm and good roundness. Turned finishes of Ra 0.4–0.8 µm are achievable with finishing passes and sharp tooling.
The tightest tolerances are reserved for the features your drawing flags as critical. Share your tolerance scheme and we will confirm what is realistic before quoting.
Working with Nickel
Nickel is corrosion and heat resistant. We translate those properties into a process plan: the right tooling, speeds, feeds and fixturing for the alloy.
Where the grade, temper or heat-treat condition matters to performance, we confirm it with you and can supply material certificates. Material is procured to recognised standards for consistent, repeatable results.
Design Tips for CNC Swiss Machining Nickel
Small design adjustments often cut cost and lead time. Consistent diameters, standard thread forms and avoiding extremely long, slender features help Nickel turned parts stay concentric and economical. If you send your model early, we will return practical DFM feedback before you commit to production.
Applications of CNC Swiss Machining Nickel
Nickel parts made this way are found throughout aerospace, medical, automotive, electronics and industrial equipment. Prototype, bridge and production volumes are all welcome.

What is the typical lead time and minimum order for CNC Swiss Machining Nickel?
CNC Swiss Machining prototypes for Nickel can be produced quickly and scaled to series production. Send your drawing and quantity and we will advise lead time and any minimum order.
Can VT machining make custom Nickel parts to my drawing?
Yes. Nickel Nickel turning 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.
What surface finish is achievable on Nickel with CNC Swiss Machining?
Surface finish on Nickel is controlled to your specification; we confirm the achievable Ra against your callout.
Does CNC Swiss Machining Nickel require dedicated tooling?
Most Nickel turning work uses standard cutting tools and CNC programs; dedicated fixtures are made only when geometry or volume requires them.
