CNC Lathe Services
CNC Lathe Machining for Stainless Steel Parts
Precision Sliding Head Turning — Small & Large Batch Production
We specialise in CNC lathe machining of stainless steel components, delivering high-precision parts for industries that demand tight tolerances and consistent repeatability. Our Star SR-32J sliding head lathe allows us to produce small and large batch work efficiently, holding accuracy even on long, slender components.
Whether you need a single prototype, a small-batch run or high-volume production, our CNC turning service is built to meet your exact specification — with stainless steel as our core specialism.
Our Equipment: Star SR-32J Sliding Head Lathe
The Star SR-32J sits at the heart of our CNC turning capability. Its sliding headstock supports the workpiece close to the cutting point, minimising deflection and delivering the concentricity and surface finish that precision stainless steel work demands.
Machine capabilities
- Sliding headstock for improved part support and accuracy
- Multi-axis capability for complex geometries
- Bar capacity up to 32mm for small and medium parts
- High-speed, bar-fed production for small and large batch orders
- Exceptional surface finish on stainless steel
- Excellent results on long, slender components
The result is high-quality, repeatable parts produced consistently across the full production run.
Stainless Steel CNC Turning Specialists
We understand the specific challenges of machining different stainless grades, and apply optimised tooling, feed rates and cutting speeds to produce durable, corrosion-resistant parts with a clean, professional finish.
Stainless steel grades we machine
- 303 stainless steel
- 304 / 304L stainless steel
- 316 / 316L stainless steel
- 17-4 PH stainless steel
- 420 stainless steel
- Other custom grades on request
Benefits of CNC-machined stainless steel
- Superior corrosion resistance
- High strength and durability
- Clean, professional finish for visible components
- Resistance to high temperatures and harsh environments
While stainless is our specialism, we also machine a range of other materials to suit your application — just ask.
Parts We Produce
We manufacture a wide range of precision turned stainless steel components, including:
- Shafts, pins and bushings
- Threaded fittings and fasteners
- Tube nuts, unions, sleeves and olives
- Medical and automotive components
- Aerospace precision parts
- Hydraulic and pneumatic fittings
- Electrical connectors and custom-engineered parts
From small batches to large production runs, we deliver consistent, high-quality machined parts.
Integrated Tube Nuts & Fittings for Tube Applications
Our sliding head turning capability works hand in hand with our CNC tube bending and end forming service. The same lathe that produces precision fittings also manufactures the tube nuts, unions, sleeves and olives that complete a bent and formed tube assembly.
Because we turn these components in-house, we can match fittings exactly to formed tube ends rather than working around off-the-shelf availability — giving customers a complete tube assembly, from the bend and the formed end through to the matching nut, produced under one roof with full control over tolerances and quality.
Industries We Serve
Our stainless steel CNC turning services support industries that require precision and durability:
- Automotive & motorsport — high-performance shafts, fittings and spacers
- Aerospace — tight-tolerance, high-strength components
- Medical & healthcare — reliable, hygienic parts
- Oil & gas — durable, corrosion-resistant components
- Food processing — hygienic stainless steel parts
- Marine — corrosion-resistant components for harsh environments
- Industrial equipment manufacturing — durable, repeatable components
- Electronics — precision connectors and fasteners
Quality Assurance & Precision
Quality is integrated at every stage of our CNC lathe machining process:
- Tight tolerance control
- In-process and final inspection
- Consistent repeatability across production runs
- Surface finish verification
- Material traceability on request
Our sliding head CNC technology ensures minimal deflection, high concentricity and superior roundness across all stainless steel components.
