CNC-turned component with stepped diameters and precision-machined grooves

CNC Turning Capabilities

CNC turning is suited to components with rotational geometry — controlled diameters, bores, shoulders, grooves, threads, tapers, and concentric features — from shafts and bushings to fittings and rotational machine components.

Standard Turning

Shafts, pins, bushings, sleeves, spacers, collars, and rings — external diameters, shoulders, tapers, and profiles turned to your print.

Complex Turned Features

Bores and internal diameters, external and internal threads, retaining-ring and relief grooves — reviewed for accessibility, depth, and tolerance.

Milled Features

Flats, cross holes, slots, bolt patterns, and mounting faces added through CNC milling, reviewed as a multi-process project.

Capacity & Precision

Each project is reviewed against diameter, length, material, workholding, tolerance, and inspection requirements before production begins.

CNC DepartmentApproximately 20 CNC machines across ENSI's milling and turning capacity
Turning EnvelopeUp to Ø400 × 500 mm for suitable projects
MaterialsCommon metals and engineering plastics
General ToleranceISO 2768-m unless otherwise specified
Critical FeaturesDown to ±0.01 mm where technically suitable and confirmed during review
Surface FinishAs-machined by default; secondary finishing coordinated per project
Production VolumeOne-off prototypes, low-volume orders, and repeat production
InspectionCritical dimensions checked during production and before shipment

Turning envelope and tightest achievable tolerance are reviewed and confirmed independently for each project — a large-diameter part does not automatically qualify for ±0.01 mm, and a tight-tolerance feature does not require a large part.

Engineering Review Before Production

Tolerance, concentricity, runout, threads, grooves, material, and inspection requirements should be clearly identified on the drawing before machining begins.

General Tolerances

ISO 2768-m applies unless otherwise specified or agreed.

Concentricity and Runout

Where multiple diameters, bores, or shoulders must relate to the same axis, identify the functional requirement on the drawing.

Diameter-to-Length and Wall Thickness

Long, slender parts and thin-walled sleeves may need a revised process or additional support to hold tolerance.

Threads and Grooves

Specify thread standard, size, pitch, and class, plus groove width, diameter, and corner radius.

Material and Critical Fits

Confirm material and clearly identify mating diameters and the required fit or tolerance on the drawing.

Inspection Requirements

Identify critical diameters, lengths, fits, and any required inspection records during quotation.

Provide both a 3D CAD model and a 2D drawing when the project includes critical tolerances, threads, fits, runout, or inspection notes.

Prototype to Production

From drawing review to final delivery, every CNC-turned part follows a controlled production process designed to maintain accuracy, consistency and repeatability.

  1. 01

    Drawing Review

    CAD files, materials, quantities, tolerances and finishing requirements are reviewed before production.

  2. 02

    Material Preparation

    The specified stock material is confirmed, prepared and matched to the approved manufacturing plan.

  3. 03

    CNC Turning

    The part is programmed, set up and machined with critical dimensions controlled throughout production.

  4. 04

    Inspection

    Dimensions, tolerances, threads and surface requirements are verified against the approved drawing.

  5. 05

    Delivery

    Finished parts are cleaned, protected, packed and prepared for secure shipment.

CNC Turning FAQ

What is the maximum CNC turning size ENSI can support?

Up to Ø400 × 500 mm for suitable projects. Parts outside this envelope can still be discussed during quotation.

Can ENSI achieve ±0.01 mm tolerances?

Tolerances down to ±0.01 mm may be supported on suitable critical features after engineering review. Not every dimension on every part can hold this tolerance — general dimensions follow ISO 2768-m unless otherwise specified.

Which metals and plastics can ENSI turn?

Aluminum, stainless steel, mild and alloy steel, brass, and copper, with titanium available on suitable projects after review — plus engineering plastics including POM/Acetal, ABS, nylon, PC, PMMA, and PTFE, with PEEK available on suitable projects after review.

Does ENSI support one-off prototypes, low-volume, and repeat orders?

Yes. Single-piece prototypes, low-volume runs, and repeat production with stable drawings and controlled revisions all run through the same CNC turning process.

Can turned parts include threads, grooves, bores, and additional milled features?

Yes. External and internal threads, retaining-ring and relief grooves, and drilled or bored internal features are reviewed against accessibility, depth, and tolerance. Parts that also need flats, cross holes, slots, or bolt patterns can be reviewed for separate CNC milling operations.

Which file formats should I send, and do I need a 2D drawing?

STEP or STP files work best for turned parts, along with a PDF or DXF drawing showing critical dimensions, tolerances, threads, and finish requirements. SLDPRT, X_T, and IGES are also accepted. A 2D drawing is needed whenever the project includes critical tolerances, threads, fits, runout, or inspection notes.
