Capabilities
What this service covers
Shafts, axles & pins
Turned shafts and pins in stainless and alloy steel, ground afterwards where the print calls for it.
Inserts & bushings
Threaded inserts and bushings turned from stainless and brass, with the thread rolled or cut to the drawing.
Connector shells & adapters
Aluminium shells and adapters turned and anodised for cable and sensor assemblies.Why Lock
Why turned parts hold their tolerance
Swiss-type where deflection rules
A long, thin part on a conventional lathe bends away from the tool. A Swiss-type machine supports the work at the cut, so the tolerance holds along the whole length.
Rolled threads, not cut
Thread rolling displaces material instead of removing it, so the grain runs along the thread rather than across it — which is where fatigue cracks start.
Ground after heat treatment
Where the drawing asks for a shaft that runs true, grinding follows heat treatment instead of being asked to hold the tolerance before it.

FAQ
Common questions
When do you use a Swiss-type machine instead of a conventional lathe?
When the part is slender enough that it would deflect under the cutting force — small diameter, long length. On a conventional lathe that shows up as taper or runout along the length; on a Swiss-type the work is supported at the cut.
Can you roll the thread instead of cutting it?
Yes, from M0.6 to M12 on flat-die and cylindrical rollers. Rolling is preferred where the specification allows it, because a rolled thread keeps its fatigue life at the root.
What tolerance can you hold on a turned diameter?
±0.01 mm as standard, down to ±0.005 mm on the dimensions the drawing marks as critical.
Is my drawing confidential?
Your drawing is used only to quote and make your parts. An NDA can be signed before you upload, and files stay on our own server and are deleted after 180 days.
What is your minimum order?
One piece for machined parts. Stamping and cold-formed fasteners start from the tooling, which is quoted as its own line.
How do you ship, and who handles customs?
EXW, FOB, CIF, DDU or DDP — we can deliver to your warehouse and handle the clearance.
Have a drawing for this part?
Send it over — we will tell you what it costs and whether it is the right process.
