Guides on choosing turning technology, preparing documentation, tolerances and cost decisions for turned parts.
Back to the knowledge base
A checklist for rotational parts: what must be on a shaft or bushing drawing, which gaps most often delay the quote, and which information is mandatory versus nice to have.
Which IT grades and what surface roughness a CNC lathe realistically achieves, when grinding becomes necessary, and how to tolerance a shaft drawing so you do not overpay.
We compare two turning technologies. When does CNC come out cheaper, and when is a conventional lathe the only sensible choice? Real numbers, zero marketing.
