CNC turning service

Our precision CNC turning lathes provide low-cost parts for simple and complex cylindrical geometries. We also use Live tooling to create precise, complex geometries for features like axial and radial holes, grooves, slots, and flats. Full automation of these versatile machines allows us to produce hundreds of similar dimensions easier, faster, and cost-effectively.

• Materials for CNC Turning Parts

Our CNC turning processes are compatible with a wide range of materials, including machine-grade metals and plastics. Depending on your applications, we can create precise rapid prototypes and low-volume production from various superior-quality materials. Common materials including: aluminum, copper, brass, stainless steel, titanium, plastic(POM,PEEK,HDPE,PET,Nylon,PITE, PVC, PP, ABS, PC, PMMA),etc.

• Surface Finishes for CNC Machining

With a wide selection of surface finishes, Future Parts can help improve the surface qualities of your products. Surface finishes applied to your CNC turned parts aim at improving their appearance, surface hardness and roughness, chemical and corrosion resistance, etc. They also help hide any visible tool marks from areas cut with live tooling. Here are some of your top choices.

	Name	Decsription	Materials	Color	Texture
	Anodizing	Anodizing improves corrosion resistance, enhancing wear resistance and hardness, and protecting the metal surface. Widely used in mechanical parts, aircraft, and automobile parts, precision instruments, etc.	Al uminum	Clear, black, grey, red, blue, gold.	Smooth, matte finish.
	Bead Blasting	Bead blasting results in parts with a smooth surface with a matte texture. Used mainly for visual applications and can be followed by other surface treatments.	ABS, Aluminum, Brass, Stainless Steel, Steel	N/A	Matte
	Powder Coating	Powder coating is a type of coating that is applied as a free- f lowing, dry powder. Unli ke conventional liquid paint which is delivered via an evaporat ing solvent, powder coating is |t ypically applied e lectrostatically and then cured under heat or with ultraviolet 1 ight.	Aluminum, Stainless Steel, Steel	Black, any RAL code or Pantone number	Gloss or semi-gloss
	Electroplating	Electroplating can be functional, decorative or corrosion-related. Many industries use the process, including the automotive sector, in which chrome-plating of steel automobile parts is common.	Aluminum, steel, stainless steel	N/A	Smooth, glossy finish
	Polishing	Polishing is the process of creating a smooth and shiny surface, either through physical rubbing of the part or by chemical interference. The process produces a surface with significant specular reflection, but in some materials can reduce diffuse reflection.	Aluminum, Brass, Stainless Steel, Steel	N/A	Glossy
	Brushing	Brushing is a surface treatment process in which abrasive belts are used to draw traces on the surface of a material, usually for aesthetic purposes.	ABS, Aluminum, Brass, Stainless Steel, Steel	N/A	Satin
	Painting	Painting involves spraying a layer of paint onto the surface of the part. Colors can be matched to a Pantone color number of the customer’s choosing, while finishes range from matte to gloss to metallic.	Aluminum, Stainless Steel, Steel	Custom	Gloss,  semi-gloss, flat, metallic, textured
	Alodine	Chromate conversion coating, more commonly known by its brand name Alodine, is a chemical coating that passivates and protects aluminum from corrosion. It is also used as a base layer before priming and painting parts.	Aluminum	Clear, Gold	Same as before
	Part Marking	Part marking is a cost-effective way to add logos or custom lettering to your designs and is often used for custom part tagging during full-scale production.	All materials	Custom	N/A

CNC Turning Tolerances

As an ISO 9001 certified company, we machine CNC turning lathe parts to meet tight tolerance requirements. Based on your design, our CNC lattes can reach tolerances of up to ±0.005”. Our standard tolerances for CNC milled metals is ISO 2768-m and ISO 2768-c for plastics.

The Advantage of product

Material Removal Speed:

CNC lathes quickly remove substantial amounts of material, contributing to efficient production.

Fine Cutting Tools and Surface Finish:

Utilizing precision tools like Guhring cutters ensures an excellent surface finish without the need for additional post-finishing.

Effective for Round Features:

• Turning, as performed by CNC lathes, is the practical choice for creating internal and external threads, long bores, tapers, ring grooves, and other round cross-sectional features.
• While CNC mills can achieve some of these features, the process is slower and not optimized for maximum efficiency.

The Feature of product

Machining Process:

• CNC milling involves rotating cutting tools against a stationary bar stock or workpiece.
• CNC lathes rotate the bar stock or workpiece against a stationary tool.

Surface Suitability:

• CNC milling is more suitable for machining irregular and flat surfaces.
• CNC lathes are best suited for cylindrical or conical parts.

The Production Process of product

The CNC machining process begins by designing a part in CAD software. This design is then converted into a set of machine commands using CAM software. The CNC machine reads these commands to precisely cut and shape the material, producing a finished part that matches the digital design.
