Custom Plastic CNC Plastic Turning Services
Custom Plastic CNC Turning Services our department utilizes the most technologically advanced equipment available today. With sizes reaching 18” diameter and 60 inches long and with up to 4” thru the spindle, they are also some of the biggest lathes dedicated to plastics in the Midwest. High precision plastic machining can be difficult, but our highly trained machinists are experts in the special techniques required to produce high-quality machined plastic parts.
CNC Turning Parts
Parts with side work such as flats, holes or other features can be accomplished in a single operation with our 4 axis and 5 axis turning centers. By utilizing live tool technology these parts can be made more precisely and without secondary operations. Another advanced capability of our machines is the sub-spindle. This is a second chuck that can sync to the first and grab a part allowing work to be done on the back of the part without human interference. All this technology translates to better repeatability and faster run times which means better parts and lower costs for you. If you need metal turned parts, we can help with that too. We turn all grades of stainless steel and aluminum, but keep that separate from our dedicated plastic equipment to prevent unwanted cross-contamination.

CNC Turning FAQ
What Is CNC Turning?
CNC Turning is a manufacturing technique where bars of material are secured in a chuck and rotated, while a tool is fed onto the workpiece to remove material and form the desired shape. A central turret, equipped with various tools, is programmed to approach the raw material and remove excess material to achieve the specified design. This process is also known as "subtractive machining" due to its focus on material removal. If the machine has both turning and milling capabilities, the rotation can be halted to enable milling of additional shapes.Case Studies
