Surface Finish Options for Turned Parts
Parts that are turned typically have a very smooth surface finish. The as-machined surface finish of the cylindrical areas will typically be much smoother using the lathe than the mill, so consider this when selecting the machining method for those parts that qualify for either method. Areas cut with live tooling, such as flats and slots, may have visible tools marks.
If desired, the metal parts can be lightly bead blasted leaving a fine matte finish. Hard metals like steel and stainless steel can also have edges broken (deburred) with a light bead blast to remove metal slivers, and sharp or rough areas.

What is CNC Turning?
CNC lathes, also known as powered lathes, are ideal for cutting any symmetrical cylindrical or spherical parts. Characteristically, the lathe rotates the workpiece on a vertical or horizontal axis while a fixed forming tool moves around the workpiece in a more or less linear path. The operation of cutting a workpiece on a CNC lathe is called turning.
CNC lathes use a subtractive approach to create the desired shape. After the G-code is created, a blank piece of stock material is loaded into the chuck of the lathe spindle. The chuck holds the workpiece in place while the spindle rotates. When the spindle reaches a rotational speed, the fixed cutting tool engages the workpiece to remove material until the desired geometry is achieved.
Many operations can be performed on a powered lathe, including facing, thread turning, knurling, drilling, boring, reaming, and taper turning. Different operations require tool changes, which increases costs and setup time.
When all machining operations are completed, the part is cut from the stock for further post-processing. The CNC lathe can then repeat the operation with virtually no setup time in between.
CNC Turning vs CNC Milling
CNC milling and turning allow users to create patterns and add detail to metals that are impossible to do by hand. However, CNC Milling and CNC Turning are very different processes that usually end up with entirely different results. They both use computer programming to achieve their end results, but the differences lie in the way their finalized parts are created.
For example, CNC milling drills and turns its material along an axis to cut its materials to their specified dimensions. Conversely, CNC turning uses a single-point cutting tool that maintains a parallel insert to cut its intended material. Furthermore, the material is rotated at changing speeds at which the cutting tool traverses to make its specified cylindrical cuts. The form, shape and dimensions of the finalized product will dictate whether CNC milling or CNC turning is appropriate for your given project.

Design Considerations
- As the turning process applies pressure to the material, weak shapes that may flex can be difficult to machine, such as long thin structures.
- Turning generates a cut surface with fine helical feed marks resulting from the rotation of the part and movement of the cutter – consider specifying a desired surface roughness.
- Bored holes become difficult when the ratio of the depth to diameter is high.
- CNC turning is the only industrial process to choose when making production volumes of concentric shapes or threaded features. And, because of the rigid construction of these machines there is little vibration, which means CNC turning can offer high levels of dimensional accuracy with excellent surface finishes.
- Combine with our other processes, such as CNC machining, EDM, low- volume production, prototype models, and surface treatments etc., to save costs for you while ensuring quality and service.

Types of CNC Turning Processes
There are many types of CNC turning operations for CNC services that can be performed on a live tooling lathe in a CNC turning factory, including Hard turning, Parting, Facing, Boring, Reaming, Taper turning, Drilling, Knurling, Threading, Grooving, etc., comes in varying tools, cost and set-up time.
1. Tapered turning: produce a cylindrical part of which diameter decrease from one end to another.
2. Hard turning: suited for materials with a Rockwell C hardness greater than 45, typically performed after heat treatment.
3. Spherical generation: create a spherical finished surface, turning around a fixed rotary axis.
4. Facing: a turning operation in which the workpiece is machined to its center.
5. Parting: create deep grooves that remove a completed or part-complete component from its parent stock.
6. Grooving: similar to parting, but only cut to a specific depth from outside or inside the workpiece.
7. Drilling: remove materials to drill holes inside a workpiece with drill bits held stationary in the tail stock or tool turret of the lathe. Boring: enlarge or smooth an existing hole.
8. Knurling: cut a serrated pattern onto the surface of the workpiece with a knurling tool to change or enhance the visual effect or hand grip.
9. Reaming: remove a small volume of materials from a drilled hole for highly accurate diameters.
10. Threading: turn standard and non-standard screw threads, which generally means single-point threading.
11. Polygonal turning: non-circular forms of machining operation without interrupting the rotation of the raw material.
