CNC turning is a computer-controlled machining process that involves rotating the workpiece while a cutting tool removes material to create the desired shape. It operates using programmed instructions known as G-code to achieve precise shaping and detailing.
Process overview
Some of the most common CNC turning operations include:
Why CNC turning?
Simply put, the difference between turning and milling lies within the way the machine itself or the raw material moves. In CNC milling, the material is held in place while the cutting tools rotate around it, whereas in CNC turning, the workpiece rotates against a cutting tool.
CNC turning is a specific form of CNC machining, a subtractive manufacturing process that creates parts by progressively removing portions of a solid workpiece until the final desired geometry forms. In CNC turning, the workpiece rotates along a stationary axis.
The benefits of CNC turning include high accuracy and reliability, increased efficiency, and enhance surface finishes.
Standard CNC turning services in the US and Europe can cost from $50 to $120 per hour, or even higher in some cases. It can vary significantly depending on several factors including project complexity, quality of the machine, and the specific industry.
CNC turning services are typically more affordable in China due to the lower labour, material and machinery costs, with rates starting around $20 to $40 per hour. Again, the cost can vary depending on factors such as project complexity, quality of the machine, and location in China.
