Our CNC Turning Processes

Facing

Removes material from the workpiece end to create flat reference surfaces — part of our one-setup turn-mill workflow for consistent precision.

Drilling and Boring

Creates or enlarges holes in a single setup, eliminating secondary operations and reducing tolerance stack-up.

Threading

Cuts internal/external metric, imperial, and pipe threads for fasteners, fittings, and assemblies.

Parting Off

Separates finished parts from stock material with a clean edge.

KT Advantages

One Setup, Multiple Operations

Our advanced turn-mill equipment performs milling, drilling, tapping, and multi-process machining in a single setup, greatly reducing errors from repeated clamping. Our turn-mill centers integrate turning and milling in one machine, ideal for shafts with eccentric holes, keyways, flats, and complex end features.

Reducing setups improves efficiency and dramatically enhances concentricity, stability, and positional tolerance consistency — critical for high-volume OEM assembly.

Surface Finishing Options

We offer a variety of surface finishing options to enhance the appearance, durability, and performance of your CNC turning parts.

  • Polishing

    Achieves a smooth, reflective surface by removing small imperfections.

  • Grinding

    Uses abrasive tools to remove material for a smoother finish and tighter tolerances.

  • Burnishing

    A cold working process that improves surface finish and hardness.

  • Anodizing

    An electrochemical process that creates a protective oxide layer on aluminum parts.

  • Coating

    Applies a thin layer of material for enhanced wear resistance or corrosion protection.

  • Shot Blasting

    Uses abrasive media to clean or smooth surfaces and improve fatigue resistance.

Tolerance Guide

Precision is crucial in CNC turning to ensure parts meet exact specifications and fit accurately within assemblies. Tolerances are determined by considering factors such as part function, material properties, and machining capabilities. By defining precise tolerances, we balance performance requirements with manufacturing feasibility, optimizing both quality and cost efficiency for each project.

Proper tolerance design in CNC turning helps minimize machining costs and enhance production efficiency. To achieve this, consider the following best practices:

  • Avoid over-tight tolerances where not functionally required
  • Use standard tolerances for non-critical features
  • Simplify complex geometries when possible
  • Maintain uniform wall thickness for better stability
  • Consider material behavior during machining
Tolerance Type Standard Tolerance (±mm) Material Cost Impact Machining Feasibility
Non-critical Linear Dimensions ± 0.10 Aluminum (6061, 7075), Brass Low Easy to machine with standard tools
Critical Linear Dimensions ± 0.05 Stainless Steel (304, 316) Medium Requires more machining time, tougher material
High-precision Linear ± 0.02 / 0.03 Titanium (Ti) High Needs 5-axis machining and CMM inspection
Non-critical Linear Dimensions ± 0.10 PEEK, POM, PC, PTFE Medium Good for high-performance parts, but may require specialized tooling
