Did You Know?
CNC turning is the most basic and cost-effective way to manufacture symmetrical parts from round stock.

CNC turning produces parts by rotating round bar stock material and feeding a cutting tool into the turning material. CNC materials include:

Aluminum Acetal Acrylic Brass Bronze Copper Nylon Polycarbonate

Teflon Titanium PVC Stainless Steel Sterling Silver and more

Almost any shape can be produced on a CNC turning center, starting with the basic round shapes and progressing to intricately milled components. Unlike traditional lathes, turning centers with live tooling allow for asymmetrical parts to be produced—not just symmetrical parts. All of the parts shown in the above picture were produced on our turning centers.
