CNC turning
Start with diameter, length and the features around the axis.
1.0Who it is for
For engineers and buyers who need round parts: shafts, bushings, spacers, pins and threaded inserts, from one prototype to a thousand-part batch.
Included
- Drawing review of diameters, bores, grooves and threads before we quote
- Stock in the six listed grades; other grades after a review
- Setup and a first-piece check before the batch runs
- In-process checks on the features you name as critical
- Deburring, and packing with the revision on the note
Quoted separately or not offered
- Parts over Ø200 mm or longer than 400 mm: a manual review instead of the screen
- Anodising, plating and heat treatment: arranged with partners and named in the quotation
- Grinding and certification work: not offered

3.0A turned example
PR-03
100 bushings, brass CW614N, Ø30 × 80 mm
- Left open
- Turning fitted the size, but brass always needs an application and compliance discussion.
- Settled
- The buyer stated the intended use and the evidence their product needs. Material review came first, then the quotation.
★★★★★
Our turned spacers moved here from a platform order. Same drawing, but Bas asked which diameter actually mattered, and the report covered exactly those features.

5.0Price basis
A quotation is setup, plus machining time per part, plus material. Finish, inspection documents and shipping are named as separate lines, in EUR excluding VAT.
| Example | Range | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| New-part programming/setup | EUR 350–650 | per part design |
| Manufacturing engineering | EUR 95–125 | per hour |
| Repeat batch of ten spacers | EUR 900–1,800 | per batch |
Assumptions to check, not surveyed market rates. No enquiry fee; engineering hours only after separate written approval.
6.0How the job runs
- 1Send the RFQAny time
Diameter, length, bores, threads, material, quantity and the date you need. Gaps are fine.
- 2One reply1–2 business days
Milan lists anything missing in one email, or confirms the request is complete.
- 3Review and quotation2–3 business days
Bas checks concentricity, thread specifications and datums, then the quotation follows.
- 4Setup and first pieceAfter your order
Sanne sets up the lathe; Elise measures the first part against the agreed features.
- 5Batch, inspect, pack3–6 weeks
The batch runs with in-process checks, then final inspection and packing.
Sample timing written for this demo. The written quotation confirms the dates.
7.0Questions
What is the largest part you turn?
The screen takes Ø200 mm and 400 mm long. Diameter and length are checked separately, so a Ø30 × 400 mm pin fits and a Ø210 × 50 mm disc goes to a manual review.
Can you turn and mill the same part?
Yes. The lathes have live tooling for flats, cross holes and slots. Name those features on the drawing and the review agrees whether the part also moves to a mill.
Do you cut threads to a named standard?
Put the designation and tolerance class on the drawing, such as M8 × 1.25-6H. The quotation names the gauge check.
Which batch sizes suit turning here?
One prototype up to 1000 parts in the screen. Larger batches are welcome too; they go to a schedule review first.
