CNC turning and milling
Rotational parts are turned, prismatic parts are milled. Many parts need both: a shaft is turned, then its keyway and cross hole are milled. Upload your STEP file and we pick the machine from the part geometry.
Upload a 3D file and get a quoteMaterial and file
Materials we often machine: aluminum 6061, 6082 and 7075; steel S235 and C45; stainless 304 and 316; engineering plastics such as POM and PA6.
Upload STEP or STP for a quote; STL is not a solid model for CNC. Add a drawing if you have critical dimensions, tolerances or thread notes. Without a file, we scan your sample and build the model.
How the price is calculated
Material comes from the block blank or the next standard round bar. Machining time comes from the removed volume and the surface to finish; setup appears once per row.
Thin walls, deep pockets, heavy free-form models or tight tolerances go to engineering review, so a wrong total is never shown as a final price.
Stage 1
Turning or milling?
If the part spins around an axis — shaft, bushing, pulley, pin, fitting — it belongs on the lathe. Outside and inside diameters, faces, grooves and threads come out in one setup, which keeps them concentric.
Flats, pockets, slots and off-axis holes are milled. A turned body with a flat, keyway or cross hole is turned first and finished on the mill.
The quote screen has a single 'CNC' option. The system measures how much of your part's surface a lathe can produce and prices it as turning, turning + milling or milling. The chosen method is shown on the row.
- Outside and inside turning, threading
- Pocket, slot, face and hole milling
- Secondary milling after turning
- From one-off to series
Questions
Do I have to choose the method?
No. Pick 'CNC'. Rotational parts are priced on the lathe, others on the mill; parts that need both are priced with both operations.
Is there an automatic CNC price?
Yes. If the STEP file can be read, the price appears in seconds. If the file is unreliable or the part needs a closer look, the row goes to engineering review.
Can you make a single shaft or bushing?
Yes. Spare parts and prototypes start at one; the unit price drops as quantity grows.
How do I specify a thread?
Write the thread standard (e.g. M12×1.75) on a drawing or note. When working from a sample, we measure the thread.
