CNC turned parts to drawing
We review your drawing and place it with a vetted partner shop. From prototype to large series.
Request a turned partWhat is CNC Turning?
In CNC turning, the workpiece rotates at high speed while a cutting tool removes material. This produces rotationally symmetric parts such as shafts, bushings, bolts and thread adapters.
With live tooling and Y-axis pockets, hexagon contours, spanner flats and cross holes can also be machined directly on the lathe, without re-clamping the part on a milling machine.
CNC turning & drilling in action
Complete machining in one setup: turning, drilling and thread cutting with driven tools.
Typical lathes
Turn-mill centre
For medium to large turned parts. With Y-axis, driven tools and sub-spindle for complete machining in one setup.
Sliding-head lathe
For slender parts with small diameters. With bar feeder for economical series.
Precision starts
at the tool
In good turning shops every tool is measured automatically in the machine, with probes accurate to a few microns. Only then can tolerances down to IT6 be held over long series.
This is what we look for when choosing our partner shops: tool measurement, wear monitoring and documented inspection. The result: consistent quality from the first part to the last.
CNC turning produces rotationally symmetric parts such as shafts, pins and bushings. Strobel Industry places turned parts made to drawing with vetted partner shops: short and sliding-head turned parts, complete machining with driven tools, from one-off parts to large series with bar feeders. Experts from our team review every drawing, reply within 24 hours.
Series with bar feeder
For larger quantities we place work with partner shops running bar feeders. The bar is fed automatically, parts are parted off and the next workpiece starts immediately, even without an operator.
The result: Cost-effective series production with consistent quality, even at larger quantities.
From small to large
Small precision parts are made most economically on sliding-head lathes, large shafts and flanges on turn-mill centres. We place your part with the shop that has the right machine.
Complete Machining
With live tooling and Y-axis hexagon contours, spanner flats, pockets and cross holes can be machined directly on the lathe, without re-clamping on a mill. That saves set-up time and avoids positioning errors.
Typical Turned Parts
Shafts & Stepped Bolts
Stepped shafts, stepped axles and keyway connections in all common steels and alloys.
Threaded Parts
Thread adapters, screws, bolts, metric, fine thread and custom threads to drawing.
Bushings & Sleeves
Bearing bushings, spacer sleeves and precision fits, precise internal machining with tight tolerances.

Häufige Fragen
CNC-Drehen ist ein spanendes Fertigungsverfahren, bei dem ein rotierendes Werkstück durch ein computergesteuertes Werkzeug bearbeitet wird. So entstehen rotationssymmetrische Präzisionsteile wie Wellen, Buchsen, Bolzen und Flansche. Im Unterschied zum konventionellen Drehen ermöglicht die CNC-Steuerung komplexe Konturen, enge Toleranzen bis IT6 und reproduzierbare Qualität bei jeder Stückzahl.
The hourly rate for CNC turning is usually between 45 and 95 euros, depending on machine type and complexity. Simple turned parts on standard machines are cheaper, complete machining with driven tools and Y-axis is at the upper end. Set-up time, cycle time and quantity have the biggest influence on the unit price. For series the price per part drops considerably when production is automated with a bar feeder. The partner shop states the price for your part in its quote.
Small diameters from a few millimetres are made on sliding-head lathes, larger turned parts on turn-mill centres with chucks. Which diameter is possible for your part depends on the partner shop. State dimensions and quantity in your enquiry and we will check.
In chuck turning the workpiece is clamped in a chuck, ideal for compact parts including larger diameters. In sliding-head turning the bar is guided through a guide bushing, which gives high precision on slender parts with small diameters.
Yes. Lathes with driven tools drill, mill and cut threads in the same setup. Many parts are completely machined this way. We place work with partner shops running such machines.
Yes. For series we place work with partner shops running bar feeders, which can also run unmanned. That makes large quantities economical at consistent quality.
Our partner shops turn aluminium, structural steel, heat-treatable steel, stainless steel (304, 316), brass, copper, titanium and engineering plastics such as POM and PEEK.
The partner shop states the lead time in its quote. It depends on complexity, quantity, material and capacity. If it is urgent, put your target date in the enquiry. We will then look specifically for a shop that can meet it.
