CNC Turned Components and Precision Rotational Parts

Precision CNC turned parts for shafts, pins, fittings and threaded components, with live tooling for cross-drilling in one setup, from prototype to small batch.

Short answer

CNC turned components are rotationally symmetric parts produced on lathes where the workpiece spins and a stationary or driven tool removes material. Xinyuanmu Precision turns shafts, pins, bushings, fittings and threaded parts with live tooling for cross-drilling and milling in the same setup, targeting ±0.05 mm on diameters with tighter bands confirmed by inspection, from a single prototype to small-batch production.

Scope: what this product page covers

This page covers shafts, pins, bushings, spacers, fittings, connectors and threaded inserts. Parts whose dominant features are flat faces or deep pockets are usually cheaper milled. We machine to the tolerance on your drawing; the band below is a typical achievable target, confirmed per part at first article.

Manufacturing process

  1. Bar stock and material selection Bar diameter is chosen to minimise removal while leaving cleanup stock. Free-machining grades are used where corrosion requirements allow, to reduce cycle time.
  2. First and second operation Parts that cannot be completed in one operation are re-clamped so that diameters and features share a single datum wherever possible.
  3. Live tooling and milling Driven tools allow cross-holes, flats and slots without a second machine, which removes one setup and a repositioning error from the schedule.
  4. Threading and finishing Threads are cut or rolled depending on strength and wall requirements. Surface treatment is specified to keep the tolerance reserve on bores and threads.
  5. Inspection Diameters, threads and critical features are verified against the drawing, with first-article inspection on new part numbers.

What we do not do

We do not perform cold-heading, hot-forging or centreless grinding in-house. For very high volumes a cold-headed or screw-machine process may be cheaper per unit; we will say so in the quote rather than accept work that suits a different process. We do not claim certifications not yet formally held by Xinyuanmu, and controlled-project work is routed through our compliance gate.

Technical questions

What is the difference between CNC turning and Swiss turning?

CNC turning holds the bar in a chuck, so long slender parts can deflect. Swiss turning supports the workpiece close to the cutting tool, allowing high length-to-diameter ratios without chatter. We use the method suited to the part geometry rather than a single default.

Can you hold concentricity between two turned features?

Yes, when both features are machined in the same setup. If a second operation is required, concentricity depends on the clamping method, and we state the expected band at the DFM review rather than assume it.

Do you roll or cut threads?

Both. Rolled threads are stronger and often cheaper at volume because no material is removed; cut threads are used where the wall is too thin to roll or where the thread must run to a shoulder.
