Frequently Asked Questions
Answer: Absolutely. Our flexible setup accommodates everything from one-off prototypes to high-volume production. We use lean manufacturing principles to keep turnaround times and costs competitive, no matter the order size.
Answer: CNC Turning uses a rotating workpiece and stationary cutting tools to create cylindrical or round parts, whereas CNC Milling uses a rotating cutting tool and a stationary workpiece for complex shapes and surfaces. Turning is ideal for shafts, bushings, and other parts with rotational symmetry.
Answer: We handle a wide range of metals, including alloy steels, stainless steels, aluminum, brass, bronze, titanium, and Inconel. Our team optimizes feeds, speeds, and tooling for each material to ensure precision and efficiency.
Answer: We typically maintain tolerances as tight as ±0.005″ or better, depending on part geometry and material. We use in-process inspections and calibrated measuring tools to verify critical dimensions.
