What is CNC Turning?

CNC turning is a machining process where a computer-controlled cutting tool shapes a rotating piece of material into precise cylindrical or conical parts. It is one of the most efficient and accurate methods of manufacturing round or symmetrical components.

At UK CNC Ltd, our CNC turning machines can work with a wide range of materials, including:

Our Core Strengths in CNC Turning:

01

Precision and Quality

Every component we produce is inspected using advanced measuring tools, ensuring exact tolerances and compliance with drawings.

02

Complex Capabilities

With multi-axis lathes, we can achieve complex geometries, tight threads, and intricate details in fewer setups.

03

Scalability

From one-off prototypes to large-scale production runs, UK CNC Ltd adapts to your needs.

04

Material Expertise

We machine everything from stainless steel, aluminium, and brass to titanium, plastics, and exotic alloys.

05

Trusted Partnership

Our clients see us not just as suppliers but as long-term partners who help them innovate and stay competitive.

Why CNC Turning Matters

provides several advantages compared to traditional manual machining:

The CNC Turning Process

Consultation & Design Review

Our engineers review your CAD drawings, offering advice on manufacturability.

Programming

We create optimized CNC programs to minimize tool wear and reduce machining times.

Material Preparation

We select and prepare raw materials, whether metals, plastics, or alloys.

Turning Operations

Multi-axis CNC lathes perform cutting, boring, threading, grooving, and drilling in one setup.

Inspection & Testing

Every part is verified against design requirements using advanced CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machines).

Finishing & Delivery

We can provide additional services such as polishing, anodizing, and plating before secure delivery.

Our CNC Machining Services

We provide a complete range of CNC services tailored to meet the demands of modern industry:

3-Axis CNC Machining

Ideal for high-volume production and simple to moderately complex geometries, our 3-axis CNC mills and turning centres deliver precise components with tight tolerances. Perfect for brackets, housings, jigs, fixtures, and general engineering components.

5-Axis CNC Machining

Our 5-axis CNC machines enable us to produce complex parts in a single setup, reducing lead times and increasing accuracy. This is essential for industries like aerospace, automotive, medical, and energy where precision and repeatability are critical.

6-Axis CNC Machining

With 6-axis CNC technology, we achieve next-level precision and flexibility. These machines allow continuous movement across six axes, making them perfect for advanced engineering applications and parts that require extreme accuracy and speed.

Any other questions?
CNC turning is a machining process where a cutting tool removes material from a rotating workpiece to create precise cylindrical or conical parts. It’s one of the most accurate and efficient ways to produce round components.

CNC turning is typically used for round or symmetrical parts such as shafts, pins, and bushings. CNC milling, on the other hand, uses rotating cutting tools to shape components with flat or complex surfaces. Many projects require a combination of both services.

At UK CNC Ltd, we work with a wide range of materials including aluminium, stainless steel, mild steel, titanium, brass, copper, and specialist alloys.

No. While we are based in Sheffield, we supply CNC turning services across the UK to clients in aerospace, automotive, energy, medical, and general manufacturing industries.

Yes. We provide flexible CNC turning solutions — from one-off prototypes to high-volume production runs — depending on your project requirements.

Our CNC turning machines are capable of holding tight tolerances, ensuring each component is manufactured with accuracy, consistency, and repeatability.

CNC turning is ideal for producing shafts, pins, bushes, fittings, connectors, threaded parts, and other cylindrical components.
