Parts that combine cylindrical turning profiles with milling features (such as flats, grooves, holes, hexes, and contours) are best suited. Examples include valve bodies, pump shafts with keyways, joint housings with bolt holes, and manifold blocks.

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.
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.
We accept STEP(.stp), IGES(.igs), SolidWorks(.sldprt), Parasolid(.x_t), and STL files. For the most accurate quotes, STEP is the preferred format.
We accept STEP, IGES, SolidWorks, Parasolid, and STL files. For 5-axis projects, STEP format is strongly recommended to preserve complete surface geometry and achieve optimal toolpath generation.
Swiss-type CNC easily achieves 20:1 length-to-diameter ratios, surpassing the 10:1 limit of standard turning. With proper tooling and support, some applications can even exceed 50:1.
