Frequently Asked Questions
What are the advantages of turn-mill machining?
Turn-mill completes turning, milling, drilling and tapping in one setup, reducing handling between operations and improving positional accuracy between features.
What diameter range can you handle?
Typical turning diameter is Ø10–200 mm with machining length up to 500 mm.
Can you produce parts with both internal and external features?
Yes. Turn-mill centers can produce parts with turned OD, milled flats, drilled cross-holes, internal threads and other complex features.
What is the typical tolerance?
Typical tolerance is ±0.01 mm, drawing-dependent. Tighter tolerances may be achievable depending on geometry and material.
