If you want to source cylindrical parts with high-quality or extremely smooth surfaces, then CNC turning services are the best choice for you.CNC turning is a high-precision, high-efficiency metal processing method that uses computer numerical control technology to control the relative motion of a rotating workpiece and a static tool to remove material and create parts of the required shape and size.
Benefits of CNC Turning
- High productivity
- Generation of symmetrical or cylindrical parts in large quantities is possible
- High-quality parts with very smooth surfaces
- Extremely high precision, enabling the production of parts with precise specifications and tolerances
- Versatility of materials, from metals to plastics
- Reduced material waste and material cost savings

What is the difference between CNC Milling and Turning?
CNC milling and turning are both subtractive manufacturing processes used to create parts and components, but they differ significantly in their operation and the types of parts they are best suited for：
| Feature | CNC Milling | CNC Turning |
|---|---|---|
| Operation Mechanism | Uses a rotating cutting tool that moves across a stationary workpiece to remove material. | Secures the workpiece to a chuck, rotating it while a stationary cutting tool shapes it. |
| Types of Parts | Ideal for complex geometries, intricate designs, and parts requiring precise tolerances. | Best suited for round or cylindrical parts like shafts and pulleys. |
| Flexibility and Precision | Offers greater flexibility for part complexity; capable of producing precise parts with intricate details. | Less flexibility for complex shapes but exceptionally precise for circular cross-section parts. |
