​Turning

At HM Manufacturing, products that require a cylindrical form and a polished finished, we use the process of turning with our cutting edge CNC horizontal universal turning center. Turning is a machining process in which a straight edge cutting tool is parallel to the work piece and makes linear cuts while the piece rotates, removing material from the work piece, creating a final product that is cylindrical and evenly smoothed. ​

The turning processes can be one of four different types such as straight turning, taper turning, profiling or external grooving. These types of turning processes can produce various shapes of materials such as straight, conical, curved, or grooved work piece.  
​
HM uses the turning process for tight tolerance and cylindrical products.The process can leave one of the sleekest finishes between 63 to 16 micro-inch finish and product size can range between ½” diameter to 24” diameter and lengths up to 60”. Turning allows HM to perform various types of machining, from high-precision machining of elaborate parts, to using its high-torque power to produce products involved with heavy-duty cutting.
