What Is Screw Machining?

Screw machining is a production method commonly used for turned components that can be manufactured efficiently from bar stock.

Parts Suited to Screw Machining

The process may be appropriate for pins, bushings, spacers, fittings and other repeat turned components depending on geometry, material and quantity.

Information Needed for a Quote

A useful RFQ includes the part drawing, material, quantity, important dimensions or tolerances, thread details and any finishing or secondary-operation requirements.

Quantity and Part Cost

Production quantity can affect setup cost per part and overall machining economics. Larger repeat quantities may allow setup time to be distributed across more pieces.

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.
