CNC machining, short for Computer Numerical Control machining, encompasses various machine
types that employ computer-controlled tools to subtract material from a workpiece.
The utilization of computer control imparts notable advantages to CNC machining, rendering it
significantly faster, more precise, and accurate compared to conventional machining methods.

CNC Machining Applications
CNC machines exhibit impressive versatility in the production of various parts with different
complexities. Some examples of parts that can be efficiently made using CNC turning include:
1. Shafts and Axles:
CNC turning is well-suited for the production of long, cylindrical parts like shafts and axles,
commonly used in industries such as automotive and aerospace.
2. Bushings and Bearings:
Precision-made bushings and bearings, crucial for reducing friction and facilitating smooth
rotational movement in mechanical assemblies, can be manufactured using CNC turning.
3. Connectors and Fittings:
CNC turning enables the production of connectors, fittings, and couplings utilized in plumbing,
hydraulic systems, and electrical applications.

FAQ's
1. Can make design drawings for me?
While we don't offer a standalone product design service, we do provide Design for
Manufacturing reviews for all approved orders. This entails collaborating with our clients to
enhance the manufacturability of their 2D and 3D drawings, address design conflicts, and
reduce production costs. Learn more about preparing your CAD drawings for manufacturing.
2. Do you offer reverse engineering services or suggest cost saving measures?
Absolutely, we provide reverse engineering services and can extract design and engineering
information from a wide range of manufactured components. In addition to reverse engineering,
we offer support in designing your part, selecting optimal raw materials, and choosing effective
machining protocols and finishing steps.
With the end-use of the part in mind, we often identify minor design tweaks, material changes,
or tolerance adjustments that can result in cost savings without compromising quality or
performance.
3. Do you offer other services, like finishing, assembly, packaging, and logistical support?
Certainly! We offer a comprehensive range of services, ensuring a seamless production process from
start to finish. Our capabilities include anodizing, plating, grinding, finishing, assembly, warehousing,
packaging, and just-in-time delivery.
Whether you need finishing touches, assembly services, or logistical support, we aim to provide a
one-stop solution that not only saves you time and money but also allows you to concentrate on
your core business activities.
