Parts made with this process
CNC Machined Shafts & Pins
Turned geometry with bearing fits, threads and runout controlled from a common datum axis.
CNC Machined Bushings & Sleeves
Bore-first turned components for controlled clearance, wear and alignment.
CNC Machined Jigs & Fixtures
Repeatable workholding and inspection tooling built around the part datum scheme.
Custom CNC Replacement Parts
Drawing-controlled replacements for obsolete, damaged or long-lead industrial components.
Recommended materials
Stainless Steel 303
The machinist's stainless: sulfur additions cut machining cost ~30% versus 304 on turned parts.
Brass C360 (Free-Machining)
The machinability benchmark itself: fastest cycle times in the shop, naturally low-friction.
Aluminum 6061-T6
The default CNC aluminum: strong enough for most jobs, machines fast, anodizes well.
Alloy Steel 4140
Chromoly muscle: deep-hardening alloy steel for heavily loaded shafts, tooling and gears.

Medical Device Machining: The Inspection and Documentation Package
What a medical CNC supplier should ship with the parts: CMM reports, FAI, CoC, material certificates, lot traceability and how to specify them at RFQ.
Turned parts transfer more easily than milled ones, but the acceptance criteria still have to come with them. Check the package against the transfer list.
