Power tools refer to rotating electrically driven tools mounted on the turret that can perform drilling, milling, and eccentric feature machining while the workpiece is held in the spindle. This eliminates the need for secondary operations, allowing complex parts to be completed in a single setup.

In CNC turning, the workpiece rotates while the tool remains stationary, suitable for cylindrical parts such as shafts, pins, and sleeves. In CNC machining, the workpiece is stationary while the tool rotates, ideal for flat, prismatic and complex 3D geometric shapes.
Standard machined surface roughness is 125 Ra (3.2 µm); finish machining achieves 63 Ra (1.6 µm). Post-processing such as sandblasting or polishing can further improve surface quality.
We accept STEP(.stp), IGES(.igs), SolidWorks(.sldprt), Parasolid(.x_t), and STL files. For the most accurate quotes, STEP is the preferred format.
In 3-axis CNC machining, the tool moves along straight X, Y, and Z axes. In 4-axis machining, a rotary A-axis is added, allowing the workpiece to rotate. This enables the machining of complex features on multiple sides without re-fixturing.
Standard turning supports a maximum slenderness ratio of 10:1. For longer, finer parts (exceeding 10:1), CNC lathes with center support are recommended to ensure high accuracy.
