Turning & Milling: A Manufacturing Process

Published: September 23, 2020

We can offer a full and diverse range of turning & milling operations. 

Traditional Turning & Milling

Making use of traditional techniques and machinery such as a lathe, these processes are used to create the desired surface finish on a product.

Multi-Axis CNC Milling & Shaping

Utilising a machine with multiple tools, this process manufactures parts by milling the metal using either water jets or lasers.

Gear Cutting

Using common processes such as hobbing, broaching, milling and grinding, these operations may be used either after or instead of other cutting process options such as forging or casting.

Broaching

Using a toothed tool known as a broach, a workpiece will be held in place as the broach is generally run in a linear direction to the workpiece in order to create the desired shape.

Cylindrical & Surface Grinding

Offering the ability to work within extremely high tolerances, both cylindrical and surface grinding are used to create the desired finish on a component. Where surface grinding sees an abrasive wheel rotate and run above the workpiece, surface grinding is more commonly used for the creation of internal and outer diameters.
