Understanding CNC Turning Parts
CNC turning is a machining process that removes materials from cylindrical parts by rotating the workpiece. It provides high-precision and symmetrical results. Similar to CNC lathe, both use CNC systems for processing.
CNC turning vs lathe machining | definition and variation
Lathe machining is the process of using a lathe to machining workpiece which is fixed on the spindle and then rotate it with the cutting tool to shape the parts to specifications and surface.
while CNC turning is a basic method of lathe machining process. Therefore, they are not exactly the same although there is some connections. Lathe machining usually includes turning, drilling, tapping, inserting and other processes.
CNC turning is the process of placing a workpiece on a lathe by rotating it and then using a cutting tool to remove material to get the final shape and size. During the turning process, the cutting tool moves linearly.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is difference between cnc milling and cnc turning?
✅Operation:
The workpiece on CNC mill remains stationary while the cutting tool rotates and moves along multiple axes to shape the features. But in CNC turning centers the workpiece rotates while the cutting tool moves linearly to remove material.
✅Part geometry: CNC milling is ideal for producing parts with intricate shapes, slots, holes and 3-dimensional features. While CNC turning is mainly produce cylindrical parts like shafts, pins and cones
✅Cutting tool:CNC milling uses rotating cutting tools such as end mills, face mills, and drills. While CNC turning, use a stationary cutting tool, like single-point cutting tools and drills.
Are there any limitations on CNC turned components?
Yes, they have size limitations on the maximum diameter and length. It depends on the CNC lathe machine’s capacity.
What tolerance can CNC turning achieve?
CNC turning can achieve high precision, with tight tolerances typically ranging from +/-0.001 to 0.005 inches.
How long I can get my turned parts?
Typically, for the standard project with simple geometries and tolerances, you can expect to receive your turned parts within 2-3 days to a couple of weeks.
But there are several factors that affect the lead time for receiving your CNC turned-parts:
✅The complexity of the machine parts
✅The raw material for metal parts
✅The machine shop capacity
✅The tolerance and size for the machined parts.
