What is CNC turning?

What is CNC turning?

CNC turning produces parts by mounting a blank on a rotating chuck and removing material using stationary cutting tools. This technology is ideal for manufacturing parts with symmetry along their center axis. Turned parts are typically produced faster (and at a lower cost) than milled parts.

CNC turning tolerances

We follow ISO 2768 standards for CNC machining.


Limits for nominal size

Plastics (ISO 2768- m)

Metals (ISO 2768- f)
0.5mm* to 3mm ±0.1mm ±0.05mm
Over 3mm to 6mm ±0.1mm ±0.05mm
Over 6mm to 30mm ±0.2mm ±0.1mm
Over 30mm to 120mm ±0.3mm ±0.15mm
Over 120mm to 400mm ±0.5mm ±0.2mm

FAQs

  • Do I need a technical drawing for CNC machining?

    While technical drawings aren't used for obtaining g-code, they are vital for quality control. Technical drawings are also essential when your part contains threads, tolerances and/or finishes on specific surfaces.

  • What does a technical drawing have to include?

    A standard technical drawing has to include essential information like a title bar, views of the parts—including the orthogonal view, cross-sectional view and isometric view—coordinate details, all requirements and any additional annotations. Most importantly, make sure the title block does not contradict the information in the CAD file you've uploaded to the quote builder.

  • Do technical drawings need notes to the manufacturer?

    Notes to the manufacturer are not technically mandatory, but adding them to your technical drawing can be crucial for conveying information that wouldn’t fit in the blueprints themselves.

  • How to provide technical drawings to the manufacturer?

    You can easily upload a PDF of your technical drawing in the Part Specifications section of the upload attachment via the "Upload Attachment" form on our Contact Us form. Or email us directly.
