What is CNC Turning?

CNC Turning is a manufacturing process. Metal bars are held and rotated while a tool removes material to create a shape. It is the opposite of drilling, where the tool rotates and the material remains stationary.

A center with both turning and milling capabilities can stop rotation to allow for milling out of other shapes. Turning parts on CNC turning centers allows for a wide range of complexities, sizes and material types.

• The starting material can be round, square or hexagonal-shaped.

• Bar length is based on the feeder.

• The tools in CNC lathes or turning centers are digitally controlled

• CNCs with live tooling, such as those at Automated Production, Inc., can stop rotation to add additional features like drilled holes, slots and milled surfaces.

• Some CNC turning centers allow work to be completed on both sides by employing an additional spindle.

• CNC turning centers vary in tooling and spindle options, as well as outer diameter (OD) limitations.
