This custom CNC machined threaded metal housing is designed for precision connections and secure mounting in machinery, hydraulic systems, and industrial equipment. Manufactured from high-quality stainless steel or aluminum alloy, it combines strength with excellent corrosion resistance. The part features precisely machined internal threads and mounting holes, ensuring a perfect fit and reliable performance under demanding conditions.
At HLC, we specialize in high-precision CNC milling and turning, achieving tight tolerances of ±0.01 mm. With over 20 years of manufacturing experience and IATF 16949 certification, we deliver consistent quality and tailored solutions, from prototype development to large-scale production.
Turning VS Milling
- Turning
- Process: The workpiece rotates while a stationary cutting tool removes material.
- Best For: Cylindrical or round parts such as shafts, pins, bushings, and threaded components.
- Capabilities: Excellent for producing precise diameters, concentricity, and internal/external threads.
- Typical Machines: CNC lathes, turning centers.
- Milling
- Process: The cutting tool rotates while the workpiece remains fixed (or moves in specific directions).
- Best For: Flat surfaces, complex shapes, slots, pockets, and 3D contours.
- Capabilities: Ideal for prismatic parts, housings, enclosures, and components requiring multiple features.
- Typical Machines: CNC milling machines, machining centers.
- Key Differences
- Motion: Turning = rotating workpiece; Milling = rotating cutting tool.
- Shapes: Turning = round parts; Milling = flat, angular, or complex geometry.
- Applications: Turning often used for shafts, bushings, and threaded parts; Milling for housings, plates, molds, and precision pockets.
