Also known as manual or traditional lathe turning, conventional turning is a machining process used to shape cylindrical workpieces by rotating them against a stationary cutting tool guided by hand.
For one-off parts, urgent repairs, or jobs where a machinist's judgment beats a programmed cycle, our manual lathes get a part turned and out the door without the setup time a CNC program requires.
This is also where we handle salvage and rework — re-machining a worn shaft, correcting a damaged thread, or matching an obsolete part with no drawing on file.
