About: metal turning
A machinist uses lathes and milling machines to make and repair metal parts to measure: shafts, bushings, threads, flanges, gears and parts for machines, cars, farm equipment and boat engines. People usually need one when an original part is no longer available or would take too long to arrive, so a new one is made from a sample or drawing. For precise parts, bring the old piece or exact dimensions and tolerances.
Frequently asked questions
Can a part be made from a broken original?
Often yes, as long as measurements can be taken from what's left; the machinist will tell you. A drawing or sketch with dimensions helps a lot.
What materials do they work with?
Typically steel, stainless, aluminium, brass and bronze, and some also machine engineering plastics. Check the profile or ask about your material.
How long does it take?
A simple part can be quick, while batches, heat treatment or sourcing material take longer. It also depends on the workshop's queue.
What affects the price?
Material, shape complexity, required precision, number of pieces, heat or surface treatment and machine time.
Do they repair threads and bearing seats?
Many restore threads, make bushings and rework existing parts. Describe the problem or bring the part in.
