CNC Turning Service FAQs

CNC milling and CNC turning are distinct machining processes with different operational methods, machinery, and applications.

  • CNC Milling: Utilizes a rotating cutting tool that moves across a stationary workpiece to remove material. This process can create a wide variety of geometries, including flat and inclined surfaces, slots, and grooves.
  • CNC Turning: Involves rotating the workpiece while the cutting tool remains stationary, shaping the material into the desired form. This method is typically used for producing cylindrical parts and is ideal for creating symmetrical components like shafts, pins, and bushings.

Summary: CNC milling is best for parts with complex shapes and geometries, while CNC turning excels at producing cylindrical components. Both methods offer high precision, consistency, and efficiency.

CNC lathes and CNC turning centers perform different tasks. CNC lathes rotate a part to create circular shapes and can perform operations like facing, threading, knurling, drilling, reaming, and taper turning. Turning centers have advanced features that allow for more intricate pieces.

  • Component Limitation: Only rotatable components can be machined.
  • Multiple Procedures: Parts may require several procedures and machines.
  • Tool Wear: Tools experience severe wear.
  • Material Waste: The process generates a significant amount of scrap.

Rough turning and finish turning are two stages in the turning process:

  • Rough Turning:

    • Cutting Depths: Removes large amounts of material quickly with heavy cuts.
    • Speed: Performed at higher speeds to expedite material removal.
    • Tool Selection: Uses larger, more robust tool inserts.
    • Cutting Path: Employs a straight cutting path.

  • Finish Turning:

    • Cutting Depths: Uses smaller cuts for an improved surface finish and accurate dimensions.
    • Speed: Performed at lower speeds for smoother finishes.
    • Tool Selection: Utilizes smaller, lighter tool inserts.
    • Cutting Path: May use “light cuts,” following a slightly curved path.

CNC turning can produce a wide range of parts for various industries, including automotive, aerospace, medical, and consumer goods. Examples include hubs, flywheels, shafts, pins, and bushings.

  • Higher Precision: Offers significantly higher precision than manual turning.
  • Greater Efficiency: Can complete multiple operations in a single setup, reducing production time and cost.
  • Versatile Applications: Suitable for a wide range of materials, including metals and plastics.
  • Consistent Quality: Ensures every machined part is identical, guaranteeing consistent quality.
  • Lower Costs: High efficiency and automation result in lower long-term manufacturing costs compared to traditional methods.
