CNC MACHINING
QUESTIONS

CNC turning is generally best for components whose dominant geometry is rotational, such as shafts, bushings, sleeves, pins, threaded parts, connectors and fittings.

Swiss turning becomes more attractive when the part is small in diameter, long or slender, or sensitive to deflection near the cutting zone.

Yes. Turning can form the core geometry, while secondary machining can add holes, flats, slots, tapping, reaming or assembly-facing details.

Around ±0.01 mm can be considered for suitable features, depending on geometry, material, setup, tool access and inspection method.

No. Samples and smaller batches can be produced first where the project fits. 500+ pcs is usually where repeat-production economics become more important.

Send the material grade if known, required finish, corrosion or conductivity requirements, and whether substitutions are acceptable.

A 2D drawing is most important for tolerances, threads, surface finish and inspection notes. 3D CAD helps clarify geometry where available.

Yes. Finish, edge condition, burr risk, cleaning and packaging requirements should be included as part of the manufacturing route.

Inspection and required documents can be prepared according to controlled features, order scope and agreed release requirements before shipment.

Provide material, estimated quantity, finish requirement and any critical dimensions. FREEFLY CNC will confirm whether the part fits the available manufacturing route.
