CNC Lathes & CNC Turning 101 A CNC lathe is essentially an industrial spit roast for your components; However, unlike a spit roast, our lathes can spin up to thousands of revolutions per minute while working your metal componentry at ± 0.005″ tolerances. The process of machining metal on a lathe is known as turning. With CNC turning, a payload of workpiece metal is loaded in between two chucks. The lathe then spins the metal so it can be machined from the exterior by grinding the rotating workpiece metal with cutting tools and grinders. Our advanced CNC turning systems are some of the best in the manufacturing industry, capable of machining your components into complex, custom-engineered designs and componentry while holding cutting lines with micrometer precision.
