What is precision turning?

Precision turning is a manufacturing process that fabricates cylindrical parts with high precision and accuracy.

Critical in this process is ensuring the dimensional accuracy of the turned parts produced, as well as their repeatability throughout the production batch.

The process is a variation of CNC turning. It involves the controlled cutting of material from a blank to achieve the designed shape of the manufactured part.

In this case, the blank, in the form of a bar, performs a rotary motion, and the tool moves along it, cutting successive layers of material until the finished part is obtained.

In the precision turning process, a computer numerical control (CNC) system is used to control the movement of the tool and the rotation of the workpiece.

This allows for precise and accurate control of the machining process, which is important when creating precision-turned parts with very small dimensions.
