Precision Turning

Expert Lathe Turning for Complex Components

Our precision turning service covers the full range of turned components, from simple shafts and bushings to complex multi-diameter parts with cross-holes, threads, and undercuts. Using both CNC and manual lathes, we deliver consistent accuracy across all batch sizes.

Based at Cranswick Industrial Estate in Driffield, East Yorkshire, W&K Precision Engineers has been delivering high-quality turned components since 2001. Our turning capacity covers a wide range of diameters and lengths, with live tooling capability for complex prismatic features in a single operation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our CNC turning centres handle a wide range of component sizes. Please contact us with your specific dimensional requirements and we'll confirm our current capacity and suitability for your job.

Turning rotates the workpiece against a stationary cutting tool to produce cylindrical forms — shafts, bushes, studs, and similar parts. Milling moves a rotating cutter across a fixed workpiece to create flat surfaces, slots, pockets, and complex profiles. Many of our turning centres also include live milling tools for combined operations in a single setup.

Yes. We can produce a full range of external and internal threads — metric, UNC, UNF, BSP, and other thread forms — by turning, thread milling, or tapping. We hold calibrated gauges to verify thread form and fit.

Yes. We routinely carry out secondary operations including cross-drilling, milling, keyway cutting, and grinding on turned components. Combining operations in-house keeps your supply chain simple and maintains accuracy.

Turned components typically leave our machines with a good machined finish. We can achieve finer surface finishes where specified on the drawing, and we can arrange external treatments such as anodising, plating, heat treatment, and passivation through our trusted sub-contractors.

Absolutely. Bring in your worn or broken part and our team will measure it, create a drawing if needed, and reproduce the component to match or improve on the original specification.
