CNC Machining Steel Stainless CNC Machining Parts Turning Lathe CNC Services
CNC machining operates on subtractive processes, where the feedstock is machined to its final
form through the removal of material. This includes activities such as drilling holes, boring lots
and pathways, and shaping metal stock into new material with varying tapers, diameters,
and shapes.
In contrast to additive manufacturing methods that involve the addition, layering, and deformation
of materials to achieve a specified shape, CNC machining achieves shapes by subtracting material.
This distinction also separates it from injection molding, where material is injected in a different
state of matter using a mold and formed to a specified shape.
Product Details
CNC machining machines possess the versatility to cut through an extensive array of materials,
encompassing aluminum, bronze, copper, ceramics, plywood, diverse steel types, stone, wood,
zinc, and various engineering materials.
This broad range of capabilities positions CNC machining as an optimal solution for prototype
creation in product development. It facilitates the ability to make accurate and swift adjustments
until achieving satisfaction with the final product.

CNC Machining Tolerances
Tolerances are not standardized across all processes and materials. The final tolerances on your
part depend on various factors, such as part size, design complexity, the number and size of
features, materials used, surface finish, and the manufacturing process employed.
Once your order is confirmed, we conduct a Design for Manufacturing review to identify areas
that may need modification for better manufacturability.
| CNC Turning Tolerances |
| Limits for nominal size | Plastics | Metals |
| 0.5mm* to 3mm | ±0.1mm | ±0.05mm |
| Over 3mm to 6mm | ±0.1mm | ±0.05mm |
| Over 6mm to 30mm | ±0.2mm | ±0.10mm |
| Over 30mm to 120mm | ±0.3mm | ±0.15mm |
| Over 120mm to 400mm | ±0.5mm | ±0.20mm |
| Over 400mm to 1000mm | ±0.8mm | ±0.30mm |
| Over 1000mm to 2000mm | ±1.2mm | ±0.50mm |
| Over 2000mm to 4000mm | ±2.0mm | |
| *Please clearly indicate tolerances for nominal sizes below 0.5mm on your technical drawing. |
