CNC Turning Services
Precision CNC Turning for Complex Components and Production Parts
CNC Turning Expertise That Delivers More Than Precision
Producing high-quality turned components requires more than a capable lathe. It takes experienced machinists who understand tooling strategies, material behavior, and how to optimize every machining operation for quality and efficiency.
Whether you’re producing a simple shaft or a complex multi-featured component, our team delivers reliable results from prototype through repeat production.

CNC TURNING
Northwood Industries provides precision CNC turning services for manufacturers that require accurate diameters, superior surface finishes, and dependable repeatability.
Our turning centers feature live tooling, Y-axis machining, and 5-axis mill-turn functionality, allowing multiple machining operations to be completed in a single setup. This reduces handling, improves dimensional accuracy, and increases production efficiency.
CNC Turning
Ideal for producing precision cylindrical components, shafts, bushings, housings, pins, fittings, and other rotational parts with exceptional dimensional consistency.
Live Tooling & Y-Axis Machining
Integrated milling, drilling, tapping, and cross-hole machining reduce secondary operations while improving overall accuracy and cycle times.
5-Axis Mill-Turning
Our mill-turn equipment combines turning and milling operations into a single machining process, allowing complex components to be completed with fewer setups and tighter positional accuracy.
secondary services
Precision turned components often require additional machining, finishing, or assembly before they’re production-ready.
Northwood’s in-house secondary services simplify manufacturing by reducing outside vendors while maintaining tighter quality control throughout your project.

Quality you can measure
Turned components depend on precise diameters, concentricity, surface finishes, and repeatability. Northwood verifies these critical characteristics through documented inspection procedures and an ISO 9001:2015-certified quality management system.
Quality inspections are integrated throughout production to ensure every component meets customer specifications before shipment. Our quality management system promotes consistent manufacturing practices, process control, and continuous improvement across every turning project.
