CNC Turning

CNC turning shapes cylindrical components and keeps concentric features, faces, bores, and surfaces that will later be threaded under consistent control.

CNC lathe cutting a cylindrical metal component

How CNC turning works.

On a CNC lathe, the part spins while a cutting tool follows a programmed path to form diameters, faces, bores, grooves, and shoulders. Turning sets the round geometry that threading, milling, and finishing operations build on.
