What Is CNC Turning?

CNC Turning is a subtractive manufacturing process where a cutting tool removes material from a rotating workpiece. This technique shapes metal or plastic into precise dimensions and complex geometries. CNC lathes and turning centers, guided by computer numerical control (CNC), ensure consistent accuracy and tight tolerances.

How It Works

  1. Workpiece Mounting: The material is clamped into a chuck and rotated at high speed.

  2. Tool Movement: A single-point cutting tool moves in linear motion along the rotating axis.

  3. Material Removal: Layers are shaved off to form the desired shape.

  4. Program Execution: CNC code governs every movement and depth of cut.

Langhe Casting combines advanced CNC turning equipment with expert machinists to ensure your parts exceed expectations.


CNC Turning vs. CNC Milling

Although often grouped together under CNC machining, turning and milling are distinct.

Feature CNC Turning CNC Milling
Motion Type Workpiece rotates, tool is stationary Tool rotates, workpiece is stationary
Best For Cylindrical parts Complex 3D surfaces and pockets
Efficiency Higher for round, symmetrical parts Better for flat or irregular shapes
Machining Axis Typically 2 to 5 axes Typically 3 to 5 axes

At Langhe Casting, we offer both turning and milling, so you always get the right process for your design.
