CNC turning for businesses
Shafts, bushings, pins, flanges and rings in metal and plastics, from one piece. The order goes to shops with CNC lathes, including live tooling, so a turned part with milled flats or cross holes is made by a single shop.
CNC turning services: custom turned parts
Shafts, bushings, pins and flanges. No need to look for a turning shop: the system recognises the rotational body in the STEP file and routes the order to shops with CNC lathes.

01Typical orders
What customers order most
Examples, not a closed list. The order goes to shops whose machines fit the size and material of your part.
01
Shafts and axles
Stepped shafts with journals, circlip grooves and threaded ends.
02
Bushings
Spacer, bearing and sliding bushings in metal or plastic.
03
Pins and dowels
Connecting parts with a head, cross hole or thread.
04
Flanges and rings
Turned discs with bolt holes and seal grooves.
02What sets the price
What we look at in your part
Scroll to see what decides price and manufacturing. These are the same things the shop checks before accepting the order.
01 · Ø44 × 160 mm
Diameter and length
On a lathe what counts is how much material comes off the bar: big diameter steps mean longer machining. Parts up to Ø300 mm and 600 mm long get an instant price. Shafts longer than 10 diameters need support.
02 · circlip groove
Grooves and undercuts
Describe circlip grooves, undercuts and tool run-outs on the drawing. Chamfers instead of sharp edges make assembly easier and cost nothing extra.
03 · M24 × 1.5
Threads
Specify the thread in the order and on the drawing, e.g. M24 × 1.5. With an undercut or run-out the thread comes out clean to the end.
04 · Ø36 h7
Fits
Give bearing seats and journals with a fit, e.g. h7. The shop measures these before shipping and records them in the report, and we check the result.
What drives the price
A turned part in a listed material with general tolerances gets a fixed price straight away. Parts with milling on a live-tooling lathe, long slender shafts and fits from the drawing go to a tender.
03Order path
From file to acceptance: always the same path.
Every order goes through the same steps, and your money stays with us until you accept the parts.

What to know before you order
How a turning order works
You upload a STEP file and choose material and quantity. A simple turned part gets a fixed price straight away, long slender shafts and fits are quoted by shops in a tender within 24-48 h.
06Questions
CNC turning: frequently asked questions
How do you know the part is turned?
The engine checks whether the body is rotational around one axis. Then it prices turning, and you see the technology in the quote.
Can I order threads?
Yes. Mark the threads in the order and attach a PDF drawing with their designation.

CNC turning service for shafts, bushings and pins
Our CNC turning service covers shafts, bushings, pins, flanges and rings up to Ø300 mm. The system recognises a turned part in the STEP file and matches it with shops whose CNC lathes suit the diameter and length. There is no minimum order: a single replacement pin is as welcome as a batch of bushings.
Turned parts with milled features
Many turned parts also have flats, keyways or cross holes. Shops with driven tools machine them in one setup, so you are not moving the part between two suppliers. Instead of comparing CNC lathe services and turned parts manufacturers one by one, you get one price with a date and an inspection report with every delivery.
Materials for turning
We turn aluminium, steel, stainless steel and brass, as well as plastics such as POM-C and PA6. For worn parts that need remaking, see machine spare parts.
A CNC turned parts manufacturer network
Instead of searching for a CNC turned parts manufacturer yourself, you order from HexoParts and we match the job with vetted shops whose lathes fit the part.
