We possess extensive CNC machining capabilities, crafting a diverse range of parts, from
straightforward "as machined" workholdings to intricate geometries.
Our manufacturing facilities are equipped with a variety of CNC mills and turning centers,
and upon request, we can utilize EDM and grinders. Embracing precision, we provide tolerances
as tight as 0.05 mm (0.0020 in), coupled with swift lead times starting from just one business day.
Product Details
The turning process primarily involves the machining of various metals.
These metals encompass a wide range of materials, including alloy steel, carbon steel, cast iron,
stainless steel, aluminum, copper, magnesium, and zinc.
Nevertheless, it is essential to note that the turning process is not limited to metals alone;
it can also be applied to plastic components and a diverse array of materials such as ceramics,
composites, thermoplastics, and thermosetting materials.

Nylon | Excellent mechanical properties, thermal, chemical and abrasion resistant. |
CNC Machining Tolerances
Typical machining tolerances fall within the range of ± 0.005 inches or 0.13 millimeters.
Tolerances represent the allowable variation for a specific dimension.
For instance, if a CNC machining tool has a tolerance of ± 0.01 millimeters, it means that the tool
can deviate by 0.01 millimeters in each cut.
When provided with a drawing, Our CNC machining service can achieve CNC parts with tolerances
as tight as ± 0.0002 inches.
In the absence of a drawing, all CNC parts are manufactured according to our ISO 2768 medium
standard. We can also work to even tighter tolerances, such as ± 0.025 millimeters or ± 0.001
inches, when an engineering drawing specifies critical features.
CNC Turning Tolerances | ||
Limits for nominal size | Plastics | Metals |
0.5mm* to 3mm | ±0.1mm | ±0.05mm |
Over 3mm to 6mm | ±0.1mm | ±0.05mm |
Over 6mm to 30mm | ±0.2mm | ±0.10mm |
Over 30mm to 120mm | ±0.3mm | ±0.15mm |
Over 120mm to 400mm | ±0.5mm | ±0.20mm |
Over 400mm to 1000mm | ±0.8mm | ±0.30mm |
Over 1000mm to 2000mm | ±1.2mm | ±0.50mm |
Over 2000mm to 4000mm | ±2.0mm | |
*Please clearly indicate tolerances for nominal sizes below 0.5mm on your technical drawing. |

Company Profile
FAQ's
1. What tolerances can achieve?
Determining tolerances involves various factors, and there isn't a universal set that applies
to all processes and materials. The final tolerances on your part depend on factors such as part
size, design geometry, the number and size of features, material properties, surface finish, and
the chosen manufacturing process.
Upon order confirmation, we conduct a Design for Manufacturing review, highlighting areas that
may need modification for improved manufacturability. It is beneficial if you can specify critical
tolerance areas in your design, allowing for potential modifications to reduce production time and
costs.
We provide general tolerance guidelines for CNC machining in metal and plastic, plastic injection
molding, CNC metals and plastic injection molding materials, metal 3D printing (+/- 0.5mm),
and the expected shrinkage rate of +/- 0.15% for vacuum casting. All manufacturing and
technical specifications must be clearly outlined in the 2D drawings for accurate adherence.
2. How does you ensure the quality of my parts?
Upon confirmation of your order, a comprehensive Design for Manufacturing (DFM) review is
conducted to identify any potential issues that could impact the quality of your parts.
All incoming materials undergo thorough inspection and verification using a suite of testing
equipment. Final inspection reports are generated before shipment.
Additionally, we offer real-time sharing of inspection data, fostering collaboration to address any
quality concerns that may arise during production.
3. What type of surface finishes does provide?
We provide an extensive range of finishing services to achieve virtually any desired look and feel
for your parts. Our offerings include treatments for metal, texturing for plastic injection mold tools,
painting for both metal and plastic, and a variety of other options. Learn more about specifying the
surface texture you desire in our blog.
