CNC turning produces custom prototypes and end-use components from bar or billet stock, shaping accurate diameters, shoulders, bores, and threaded features.
Live tooling can add selected flats, holes, slots, and radial details where the part design needs more than a purely rotational form.
Plan turned diameters, shoulders, threads, machining access, and material selection with an original design guide.
Use clear dimensions and practical features to help a manufacturing review align the part with the selected turning process.

Select stock according to the required strength, corrosion resistance, conductivity, weight, surface condition, and operating environment.
Choose a finish based on the functional surface, visible appearance, corrosion exposure, contact points, and any masking required for assembly or fit.

|---|---|---|---|
| Planning basis | Select color, masking, and visible-surface requirements. | Review wear, thickness, and fit impacts. | Review conductivity and corrosion needs. |
| Compatible stock | Aluminum alloys | Aluminum alloys | Aluminum alloys |
Bring finish requirements into the quote early so material availability, masking, and delivery planning can be reviewed alongside the geometry.
For parts with documentation or appearance constraints, align the selected coating path and inspection expectations before production release.
Turning is a subtractive process where bar or billet stock rotates while tools shape its outside and inside diameters. Live tooling adds selected cross holes, flats, or milled detail without moving the part to a separate operation.
