Improved Efficiency In CNC Turning

What Is CNC Turning & How Does It Work?

CNC turning is a specialized type of CNC machining process focused on material removal. In this process, workpieces are securely held in a chuck and rotated at high speeds. A turning cutter is then fed into the rotating workpiece, effectively cutting away material until the desired custom CNC-turned parts are achieved.

This method operates on the same fundamental principles as traditional lathe machining, making CNC turning one of the oldest manufacturing techniques still in use today. However, with the integration of computer numeric control (CNC), it offers enhanced precision and efficiency.

In CNC turning services, the feed rate is typically measured in inches per revolution (ipr) or millimeters per revolution (mpr), allowing for precise control over the machining process.

CNC turning is particularly well-suited for producing cylindrical-shaped workpieces, such as shafts, disks, and sleeves. It can also accommodate non-cylindrical shapes, including square or hexagonal parts, making it a versatile option in modern manufacturing.

FAQs About CNC Turning

1. How Much Does CNC Turning Cost?

Our online CNC machining services cater to various industries, including automotive, aerospace, medical devices, electronics, and consumer goods.

For a general idea of CNC turning costs typically cost around $8-$16 per hour to operate. To get a precise estimate tailored to your project requirements, feel free to request a quote.

With improved technologies and extensive expertise in CNC machining, ZHXING Hardware produces high-quality and cost-effective metal/plastic custom CNC turned components with high precision guaranteed for your innovative projects.

2. What parts are ideal for CNC turning?

While capable of processing square and hexagonal-shaped materials, the CNC turning process is best for tubular and circular shaped raw materials, including the following:

Inner and outer cylindrical surfaces

Inner and outer conical surfaces

Grooves, threads & rotational molding surfaces

Modern CNC turning machines are capable of handling different tools, spindles, and speeds. With various cutting tools available, CNC turning machines can create different parts with complex geometries. Generally, CNC turning is popular for making parts with the following criteria:

Rotary parts with the high precision requirement

Rotary parts with good surface roughness

Super precision parts with ultra-low surface roughness

Rotary parts with complex surface shapes

Rotary parts with horizontal machining

Parts with some special types of threads

Overall, CNC turned parts are widely used in the field of machine manufacturing, aerospace, automobile part manufacturing, and service factories.

3. CNC turning and CNC milling, what's the difference

n contrast, CNC Milling utilizes rotating cutting tools that move against the stationary workpiece. This process is versatile and can create a wide range of shapes, including flat surfaces, complex contours, and intricate designs. CNC milling is particularly effective for machining irregular and flat surfaces, making it suitable for parts that require detailed features and precision. If you’re looking for more complex machining solutions, you can opt for CNC milling China, which is ideal for creating intricate designs and precision parts with rotating cutting tools.

4. What's the difference between CNC lathe and CNC center?

A CNC lathe specializes in turning operations, efficiently producing cylindrical parts through processes like turning, facing, and threading. In contrast, a CNC turning center is an advanced machine that expands on the capabilities of a CNC lathe. In addition to facing, threading, and knurling, it can perform drilling, boring, reaming for precise holes, and even milling to create complex shapes.

5. How many axis are there in CNC turning?

Z-axis: This axis represents the spindle’s rotation and is aligned with the length of the workpiece. It allows for longitudinal movement along the length of the part being machined.


X-axis: This axis is perpendicular to the Z-axis and allows for radial movement, enabling the cutting tool to move in and out from the center of the workpiece to adjust the diameter.
