Precision Turning requires a turning machine, workpiece, fixture and a cutting tool. The materials used for this process can vary from Titanium, Aluminium, and Plastics. Our highly experienced Precision Engineers can give Manual Turning Services to industries and individuals from small to large amounts. Our skilled machinists have experience in working with various materials from Steels, Titanium, Aluminium, Aluminium Bronze and Plastics to Exotic Provisions such as Inconel and Beryllium.

What is Manual Turning?

Manual Turning is the process in which a cutting tool shapes a workpiece while it moves. It needs a constant operator to supervise the lathe. A Lathe is a machine used to form workpieces while being rotated.  There are three main Lathes: An Engine Lathe which can complete most machining jobs, the Turret Lathe and Special Purpose Lathes which are both used for mass production or specialist parts. Different turning processes produce different shapes and effects on materials.

Precision Turning Machines

At MNB Precision we have a range of precision turning machines including The TUJ 50 Tarnow, two Dean Smith Grace machines varying in swing and the 1760 XYZ Precision Turning Machine. Manual Turning is a basic machining process where the workpiece is rotated on a single point; the cutting tool is moved parallel to the axis of rotation. The full Capabilities of our Manual Turning Services are listed below.
