Custom CNC Milling & Turning Services: What They Are
CNC (Computer Numerical Control) milling and turning are two critical manufacturing processes used to shape metal (and sometimes high-performance plastics) into precision components.
• CNC Turning involves a workpiece rotating while a cutting tool moves in one or more axes to remove material, producing cylindrical shapes, bores, threads, etc.
• CNC Milling involves fixed workpieces and rotating cutting tools; the tools move in multiple axes to remove material, cut contours, pockets, surfaces, etc.
When we say custom CNC milling & turning, that usually means:
• Parts are designed to customer's specification (CAD data, tolerances, materials, finishes)
• Production runs may be small to medium — sometimes prototype or small-batch, sometimes mass production
• Tighter tolerances, special surface finishes, complex geometries
• More attention to material selection, process planning, and quality / inspection
