Questions About Our Turning Services
What tolerances can you hold with CNC turning?
We routinely work to tolerances of ±0.005″ and can achieve tighter tolerances when required. Specific tolerances depend on material, part diameter, and length.
What materials can you turn?
We turn steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, bronze, and other metals commonly used in heavy equipment applications.
What's the maximum diameter and length you can turn?
Our lathe capacity varies by equipment. Contact us with your specifications for specific size capabilities and swing diameter limits.
Can you thread components on the lathe?
Yes, we cut standard and custom threads on shafts, bolts, and fittings to your specifications.
Do you offer chrome plating or hardening services?
We machine parts to specifications but outsource specialized surface treatments like chrome plating and heat treating. We coordinate these services for complete project management.
Can you repair worn shafts or hydraulic cylinder rods?
Yes, we can turn down worn shafts to undersize and create custom bushings, or machine surfaces to restore components to working specifications.
