How CNC Turning Works
CNC turning (also known as CNC lathes) is a subtractive manufacturing process in which a stationary cutting tool removes material by making contact with the spinning workpiece to create the desired shape.
During processing, a blank bar of stock material is held in the chuck of the spindle and rotated with the spindle. Extreme precision and repeatability can be achieved under the control of computer instructions for the movement of the machinery.
When CNC turning rotates the workpiece in a chuck, it’ s generally to create round or tubular shapes and achieve far more accurate rounded surfaces than CNC milling or other machining processes. To know more about the difference between CNC milling and CNC turning, this link may be valuable for you.
The main vitalcomponents of a CNc turning center
Chuck: Fixes the bar of stock material for machining Spindle: Rotates the chuck across axes for material forming. Turret: Moves the stock bar in line with the computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) blueprint or computer-aided design (CAD). Interface: Provides options for the operator to control and use the turning centers.
The necessary steps for an operator
Upload CAD or CAM files Store and secure specified rods of material in the chuck. Start the machining process through the interface or control panel. Make sure the coordination between the chuck, turret, and spindle. After the process, the operator will evaluate the component to make sure it is defect-free.
Advantages of CNC Turning
CNC turning offers high precision, efficiency, and consistency in producing complex cylindrical parts, reducing production time and minimizing human error.

CNC Turning FAQs
CNC turning is a particular form of precision machining in which a cutter removes material by making contact with the spinning workpiece. The movement of the machinery is controlled by computer instructions, allowing for extreme precision and repeatability.
Turning is different to CNC milling, in which the cutting tool rotates and is directed from multiple angles at the workpiece, which is usually stationary. Because CNC turning involves rotating the workpiece in a chuck, it is generally used to create round or tubular shapes, achieving far more accurate rounded surfaces than would be possible with CNC milling or other processes.
The tooling that is used with a CNC lathe machine is mounted to a turret. This component is programmed to make certain movements and remove material from raw materials until the desired 3D model is formed.
Like CNC milling, CNC turning can be used for the rapid manufacture of either prototypes or end-use part.
CNC turning is a method for making symmetrical cylindrical parts. Typical examples are shafts, gears, knobs, tubes, etc. CNC turned parts are usually applied to various applications and industries like aerospace, medical, automotive, and other industries.
Rough CNC turning brings the workpiece close to the desired shape by removing as much material as possible without focusing on precision and surface finish, while finish CNC turning produces the required accuracy and smoothness.
CNC lathes are usually two-axis machines with only one spindle. Their production capacity is not high, and there is usually no protective casing around the machine. A CNC turning center is a more advanced version of a CNC lathe, with up to 5 axes and a more general cutting capacity. They also provide the ability to produce larger volumes, often integrating milling, drilling, and other functions.
The CNC turning process is mostly ideal for cylindrical-shaped raw materials. However, several manufacturers also use it for hexagonal and square-shaped workpieces. It is a popular method for making machine parts for microfluidic tools, signage components, surgical instruments, automotive frames, and aerospace parts.
We can turn parts with diameters ranging from 0.5mm to 65mm for stock bars. Our turning capabilities can reach up to 3000 mm for billets.
Yes, our CNC turning services include plastic parts manufacturing. We can produce small or large batch prototypes and production parts from various engineering-grade plastics. Choose from our extensive range of plastic materials and upload your design file to get custom plastic components.
The major difference between CNC milling and CNC lathe is in their machining process. CNC milling involves rotating the cutting tools against a stationary bar stock or workpiece. In contrast, a CNC lather works by rotating the bar stock or workpiece against a stationary tool. CNC milling is more suitable for machining irregular and flat surfaces, while CNC lathes work best for cylindrical or conical parts.
CNC machining is widely used across a wide range of industries. It is common in aerospace, automotive, consumer electronics, robotics, agriculture, and other fields that frequently use metal parts. It is also widely used in medical devices, household goods, energy, oil and gas, and other consumer applications. It is one of the most common processing methods in the manufacturing field.
NOBLE has offered ultra-precision CNC-crafted components for global industries including oil and gas CNC machining, medical instruments CNC machining, optical CNC machining, tool and die parts CNC machining, motorcycle components CNC machining, electronic enclosures CNC machining, automotive parts CNC machining, etc.
