Milling Turning CNC Part Stainless Steel
Turning is a machining process where a cutting tool moves linearly while the workpiece
rotates. This term "turning" primarily refers to the generation of external surfaces through this
cutting action.
Conversely, when this essential cutting action is applied to internal surfaces like holes, it is
referred to as "boring."
Turning can be carried out manually using a lathe, often requiring continuous operator
supervision, or it can be automated with a lathe that operates independently.
The most common form of automation today is computer numerical control (CNC).
In the turning process, a workpiece made of a relatively rigid material, such as wood or metal,
is rotated while a cutting tool moves along one, two, or even three axes to create precise
diameters and depths.
Turning can be applied to the exterior of a cylinder to produce tubular components with various
geometries.
Components that undergo turning operations are commonly known as "turned parts" or
"machined components."

FAQ's
1. How Do CNC Turning Machines Operate?
CNC turning machines operate through the following key steps:
1. Workpiece Setup: The workpiece, which can be any material or object to be machined,
is securely mounted onto the machine's chuck or collet. This setup allows the workpiece to rotate
during the machining process, ensuring stability and precision.
2. Tool Selection: Various cutting tools are chosen based on the specific machining tasks required.
These tools can include turning tools, grooving tools, threading tools, and drilling tools, among others.
3. CNC Programming: A computer-aided design (CAD) model of the component to be manufactured
is imported into a CNC program.
This program is then loaded into the CNC machine's computer, containing detailed instructions for
tool movements, spindle rotation speed, feed rates, and other essential parameters needed for the
machining process.
4. Machining Operations: The CNC machine executes the programmed instructions, with the spindle
rotating the workpiece while the cutting tools move along their designated axes.
This precise process gradually removes material from the workpiece, shaping it to achieve the
desired dimensions and features.
