Production Machining for Repeat Turned Parts
Screw machining is useful for repeat-production components that are
primarily round and can benefit from an efficient turning process.
Typical projects can include spacers, bushings, pins, adapters,
fittings and other small turned parts.
Part geometry, material, quantity and tolerance requirements determine
whether screw machining or another turning process is the best fit.
Anco Precision reviews the finished drawing before determining the
appropriate approach.
Parts That May Be a Good Fit
- Bushings and spacers
- Pins and shafts
- Adapters and fittings
- Threaded components
- Repeat-production turned parts
- Small mechanical components
What to Send for a Screw Machining Quote
Include the current drawing, material, expected quantity, tolerances,
threads, finish requirements and required completion date. A STEP file
can also be helpful when the part contains additional geometry.
Screw Machining FAQ
Is screw machining only for screws?
No. The term refers to a production machining process used for many
types of turned components, not only threaded screws.
How do I know whether my part is a good fit?
Send the drawing and expected quantity. The geometry and production
requirements help determine the appropriate process.
Can the part include threads?
Yes. Thread requirements should be clearly identified on the drawing.
