CNC TURNING
Production runs that hold a diameter over and over, and one-off threading jobs that need a machinist's judgment more than a program. Both live in the same department.
THE APPROACH
PRODUCTION DISCIPLINE MEETS MANUAL JUDGMENT
Turning here runs two ways: an Okuma Cadet holding critical diameter control on a repeat run, and a Prototrak lathe running conversational CNC for a one-off or a custom thread nobody's programmed before. CNC automation gets paired with manual oversight for the finish work that's hard to spec but easy to see.

Prototrak TRL2470RX conversational CNC for complex one-offs and custom threading
Hybrid CNC and manual workflow for finish quality

THE MACHINES
TWO WAYS TO TURN A PART
Repeatable production on one side, conversational programming for the one-off on the other.

THE WORK
FOUR THINGS THAT RUN THE DEPARTMENT
Four things that happen in the turning department.
01
HIGH-VOLUME PRODUCTION TURNING
The Okuma Cadet LNC-8C holds critical diameter control run after run — built for the job that needs a hundred parts, not one.
02
ONE-OFFS & CUSTOM THREADING
The Prototrak TRL2470RX runs conversational CNC, which means a one-off or an odd custom thread gets programmed fast instead of waiting on a full production setup.
03
MANUAL OVERSIGHT ON FINISH
CNC automation gets paired with manual oversight where the finish is what matters — the kind of judgment a program alone doesn't have
04
THREAD & DIMENSION VERIFICATION
Thread pitch gets checked with a gauge, dimensions get checked against the print — confirmed before the part leaves the department, not after.
QUALITY
DIAMETER CONTROL, VERIFIED
A diameter that's right on the gauge and wrong on the print is still wrong. Every run gets checked against spec, threading included, before it's cleared — critical diameter control isn't a claim, it's a measurement taken on the part in front of us.
Critical diameter control on every production run
Thread pitch verified with a gauge before release
CMM inspection for tight-tolerance validation
Owner-level review on critical first-article setups
QUESTIONS
STRAIGHT ANSWERS
CAN YOU RUN HIGH-VOLUME PRODUCTION TURNING?
Yes. The Okuma Cadet LNC-8C is built for exactly that — high-volume runs with critical diameter control held consistently across the batch.
CAN YOU MACHINE A ONE-OFF OR CUSTOM PART?
Yes. The Prototrak TRL2470RX runs conversational CNC, which means a one-off or an unusual custom thread gets programmed fast, without a full production setup.
DO YOU DO CUSTOM THREADING?
Yes — custom threading is routine work on the Prototrak platform, checked against the print with a thread gauge before it ships.
IS TURNING FULLY AUTOMATED OR IS THERE MANUAL INVOLVEMENT?
Both. We run a hybrid workflow — CNC automation for repeatability, manual oversight for the finish quality a program alone can't guarantee.
HOW DO YOU VERIFY A TURNED PART BEFORE IT SHIPS?
Diameter and thread pitch get checked against the print, with CMM inspection for anything tight-tolerance, before the part is released.

Print, model, or the actual part — however you've got it, send it over. You'll get a straight answer on whether we can make it, what it takes, and how long it runs.
