CNC Turning and Lathe Machining Capabilities
CNC turning rotates the workpiece while a cutting tool shapes outside diameters, inside diameters, faces, grooves, threads and profiles. With live tooling and turn-mill support, SinoCMI can reduce secondary operations and keep concentric features aligned in fewer setups.
Turn-Mill Operations
Drilling, tapping, slotting, flats and cross features completed in one turning setup where geometry allows.
Grooving and Threading
Internal and external threads, undercuts, retaining grooves, O-ring grooves and precision shoulder features.
Bar-Fed Batch Turning
Automatic bar feeding supports repeatable production for pins, spacers, fittings and small turned parts.
Application fit
When to Choose CNC Turning
CNC turning is usually the most efficient process when the part is cylindrical, round, tubular or built around a central axis. It is especially useful when roundness, concentricity and repeatability matter.
- Parts with rotational symmetry, including shafts, bushings, sleeves, pins and spacers.
- Critical outside diameters, inside diameters, roundness or concentricity requirements.
- Threaded features, grooves, tapers, shoulders, flanges and precision faces.
- Long shaft or thin-wall parts that need stable machining and careful workholding.
- Repeat production where fast cycle time and consistent batch quality control cost.

Tolerances, Surface Finishes and Inspection
CNC turned parts often rely on diameter control, roundness, runout, thread fit and surface finish. SinoCMI plans machining and inspection around the functional features that matter most to assembly and performance.
| Requirement | Capability | Best Use |
|---|---|---|
| Standard tolerance | Up to +/-0.01 mm for many critical turned dimensions depending on material and geometry | Shafts, pins, bushings, sleeves, fittings and rotary interfaces |
| High precision tolerance | Up to +/-0.005 mm for selected features with optimized process and inspection planning | Critical diameters, bearing fits, concentric features and matched assemblies |
| Size range | Turning diameter up to 400 mm and turning length up to 1500 mm, depending on part design | Small bar-fed parts, long shafts, sleeves, rollers and custom rotary hardware |
| Surface finish | Ra 0.8 um as-turned where applicable, with finer finishes possible through polishing or secondary finishing | Sealing surfaces, bearing contact, cosmetic faces and low-friction components |
| Inspection | CMM, micrometers, calipers, gauges, optical comparator, roundness checks and FAI reports | OD/ID dimensions, thread fit, runout, concentricity and batch repeatability |
