Nowadays Computer Numerical Control (CNC) technology has dominated the metal forming industry for years, as it offers mass and advanced precision, such as extension nipple and flange, which can be impossible to achieve with manual processes alone. Traditional manual turning is no exception, as it gets gradually replaced by CNC turning and CNC lathe machines.QY Precision is dedicated to making different kinds of turned parts, welcome to contact and send us your inquiry with drawings to get quick quotes.
What is CNC turning?
CNC Turning, basically “turning with the support of CNC”, is a manufacturing process in which bars of material are held in a chuck and rotated while a tool is fed to the piece to remove material to create the desired shape. It is also called “subtraction machining” since it involves material removal. The general operation of turning includes facing, parting, grooving, boring, drilling, knurling, reaming, threading, etc.
A component that is subject to turning operations can be termed as a “Turned Part” or “Machined Component”, such as aluminum turned part, brass turned part, and stainless steel turned part. QY Precision do all these kinds of parts, welcome to contact and send us inquiry with drawings to get quick quotes.
CNC turning is far better than manual turning for a few specific reasons:
Accuracy: Programming a CNC to complete a job creates a consistent and accurate cut to ensure product quality.
Cost Effectiveness: The cost of hiring a person to manually machine parts at scale is far more expensive than having a machine do it.
Speed: CNC turning can churn out hundreds and hundreds of parts, which is far faster than manual precision.

What is lathe?
Lathe is a machine tool that rotates a workpiece about an axis of rotation to perform various operations, such as turning. Lathe is considered to be the oldest of machine tool, and widely used in woodturning, metalworking, metal spinning, thermal spraying, parts reclamation, and glass-working. Nowadays with the skills of automation, lathe remains to be well-known by the newest CNC lathe. QY Precision has experienced engineering teams and many kinds of latest auto-manufacturing machines, including the latest CNC lathes. We are dedicated to making different kinds of turned parts like screws, shafts, and pins. If you’re interested, welcome to contact and send us your inquiry with drawings to get quick quotes.
Turning on the CNC lathe
When operating the process of CNC turning, the material/part will be clamped in a fixed location, while the cutting tool that work on the material is mounted and moved in various axis. The process can be completed from one side if the CNC lathe machine has only one turret. But if the workpiece needs to be done from more than two sides, the main spindle will switch and move to the sub-spindle to complete the job on the other side of the part.
