When it comes to precision machining, two processes dominate: milling and lathe turning. At MECHteam, we offer both with high accuracy, but each serves different part geometries and requirements.
Precision Milling
Our CNC milling capabilities include:
Milling excels at producing parts with complex 2D and 3D geometries — pockets, slots, contours, and multi-sided features. It is the go-to process for enclosures, brackets, mounting plates, and custom mechanical components.
Precision Lathe Machining
For cylindrical and rotational parts, our lathe capabilities include:
Turning is the preferred method for shafts, bushings, spacers, threaded components, and any part with rotational symmetry.
Which One Do You Need?
The choice depends on your part geometry. If your part is primarily round or cylindrical, lathe machining is more efficient. For prismatic shapes with flat surfaces and complex features, milling is the better option. In many cases, parts benefit from both processes — and we handle that seamlessly in-house.
