- What is the typical lead time for precision turned parts?
- Prototypes and low-volume orders of CNC machined parts ship in 1 to 10 business days. For production, lead time depends on quantity, material and finishes, and appears with the price on your quote. If you need your parts urgently, let us know when you request your quote.
- What tolerances can you hold on turned parts?
- Our standard diameter tolerance is ±0.005". For critical fits, we hold ±0.001" (0.025mm) with concentricity and cylindricity verified with calibrated instruments. Use our interactive ISO 2768 chart, tap drill calculator, and drill bit size chart when specifying holes and threads.
- Do you support bar work?
- Yes. We run bar work up to 3" (75 mm) in diameter, and larger diameters in the chuck, for repeat runs. That cuts time per part and improves unit pricing as the batch grows.
- What are the benefits of Live Tooling on a lathe?
- Live tooling lets us mill, drill and tap on the same lathe. Your part comes off one machine finished: no secondary setups, fewer positional errors and a lower cost per part.
- Can you machine complex threads and internal bores?
- Yes. We do precision ID work, including deep-hole boring and internal threading to ASME and ISO standards. Send a 2D print if your part needs a specific thread class or fit.
- Is material traceability included in the quote?
- Standard quotes include our basic CoC. Full material traceability (MTRs) and detailed dimensional inspection reports (including FAI) are available upon request during the RFQ stage.
- What is the maximum swing and length for turning?
- Our standard work envelope supports parts up to Ø 12" (300mm) swing over bed and up to 24" (600mm) in length. For oversized or extra-long shafts, please contact our engineering team for a custom capability review.
