CNC turning in Lodz with driven tools
We perform CNC turning on three Mazak lathes with driven tools: we turn and mill shafts, bushes and other rotational parts in a single setup. We quote turning services from a drawing or 3D model, from one-offs to series runs.
Turning and milling in a single setup shortens the operation chain: the part does not need to be re-clamped.
Turning services: three Mazak lathes with driven tools
We turn using driven tools on three Mazak lathes. Driven tools are powered drills, milling cutters and taps in the lathe turret. They allow the part to be turned and milled in a single setup, without transferring it to a separate milling machine. The part does not lose its datum between turning and milling. Whether the entire part can be made in a single setup depends on its shape, which we verify when quoting.
Mazak — CNC lathes with driven tools. Number of machines: 3. Tooling: driven tools. Operations in 1 setup: turning + milling. Typical parts: shafts, bushes, rotational parts. Location: ECAD, Lodz, Elektronowa 6.
When quoting, we check whether the part will fit on the lathe and whether we can machine it in a single setup.

Turning
We turn shafts, bushes and other rotational parts on three Mazak lathes, from one-offs to series runs.
Milling in the same setup
Driven tools mill, drill and tap the part without transferring it to another machine, provided the part geometry allows it.
Dimensional inspection
We can inspect the finished part with a Scantech NimbleTrack 3D scanner, or on a granite surface plate using a Mitutoyo height gauge.
Metal and plastics turning: materials and grades
We turn metals (structural and stainless steel, aluminium, brass, copper and bronze) as well as plastics and rubber. The table lists example grades for shafts, bushes and other rotational parts. The full list of material groups can be found in the CNC machining materials table.
| What we turn | Example grades |
|---|---|
| Structural and調quench-and-temper steels | S235JR (1.0038) C45 (1.0503) 42CrMo4 (1.7225, 40HM) |
| Stainless steel | 1.4301 (AISI 304) 1.4404 (AISI 316L) 1.4571 (AISI 316Ti) |
| Duplex and nickel alloys | duplex 1.4462 Inconel 625, Inconel 718 |
| Hardened and tool steels | 1.2379 (X153CrMoV12) 1.2080 (X210Cr12) |
| Aluminium | EN AW-6082 (AlSi1MgMn) |
| Brass, copper and bronze | brass CuZn39Pb3 (CW614N) copper Cu-ETP (CW004A) bronze |
| Plastics | PA6 (polyamide), PTFE (Teflon), POM, PEEK, PE, PP |
| Rubber | type and hardness confirmed upon quoting |
Stainless steel turning
Stainless steel turning covers 304 and 316 grades as well as duplex. This group machines differently from structural steel, so we select tooling and cutting parameters to match the specific grade.
Turning hardened steel, nickel alloys and duplex requires different tooling and cutting parameters than turning structural steel. We select them to suit the grade, and confirm the part diameter, length and tolerances when quoting.
Turning of aluminium, brass, copper and bronze
We turn shafts, sleeves and other rotational parts from aluminium, brass, copper and bronze. Brass machining differs from steel machining, so please specify the material in your enquiry.
Turning of plastics and rubber
Plastics turning covers polyamide, Teflon (PTFE), POM, PEEK, PE and PP; we also turn rubber. Plastics require different parameters from metals, so we select them to match the material.
The list is indicative and does not constitute a guarantee of tolerance.
Cross-sections, chamfers and diameters from drawings
We quote CNC turning from a drawing or 3D model. These excerpts come from a shaft drawing prepared by our design office.
CNC turning in the production chain
A turned and milled part can then be ground or wire-eroded, welded into an assembly and inspected, all at the same plant at Elektronowa 6.
Turning and milling
We turn and mill the workpiece in a single setup on a lathe with driven tools.
Grinding or wire EDM
We grind precision flat surfaces and cut complex contours by wire EDM.
Surface grindingWelding
If the part forms part of a welded assembly, we join it manually or using a welding robot.
Welding3D inspection
We can inspect the dimensions of the finished part using a 3D scanner and a Mitutoyo height gauge.
3D quality inspection
What to send for a CNC turning quote
We quote CNC turning on the basis of a drawing or 3D model. We do not have a per-piece or machine-hour price list. Send us your part documentation. Don’t have a drawing? We can scan the part with a 3D scanner at our plant or at your site, and our design office will build the model. More: reverse engineering and 3D scanning.
Include the material and grade from the drawing in your enquiry; sample grades are listed in the material table. We confirm the grade, dimensions and tolerances for a specific part when preparing the quote.
The order price will depend on:
- material and its grade
- part diameter and length
- shape complexity and number of milling operations
- dimensional tolerances and surface roughness
- quantity
- lead time
- Send a drawing or 3D modelPDF, DXF, DWG, STEP, IGES, photos (JPG, PNG, TIFF) or a ZIP or 7Z archive. Up to 10 files, up to 100 MB in total.
- Describe your orderMaterial, dimensions, tolerances (if critical), quantity and lead time.
- We will reply with questions and a priceWe will review your submission and send a quote or ask for any missing details.

Questions about CNC turning
What is CNC turning with driven tools?
Driven tools are powered drills, milling cutters and taps mounted in the lathe turret. They allow us to turn and mill a part in a single setup.
What parts do you turn?
Shafts, sleeves and other rotational parts, from one-offs to series production.
What materials do you turn?
Metal turning covers structural and stainless steel (304 and 316), hardened steel, duplex, Inconel, aluminium, brass, copper and bronze. Plastics turning includes polyamide, Teflon (PTFE), POM, PEEK, PE and PP; we also turn rubber. Sample grades can be found in the material table. We confirm the grade, dimensions and tolerances for a specific part when preparing the quote.
How much does CNC turning cost?
We do not have a per-piece or machine-hour price list. We quote every order based on a drawing or 3D model. The price depends on the material, dimensions, shape complexity, tolerances and quantity.
Do you accept single-piece orders?
Yes, we carry out CNC turning from one-offs to series production.
What file formats do you accept for a quote?
We accept PDF, DXF, DWG, STEP, IGES, photos (JPG, PNG, TIFF) and ZIP and 7Z archives, up to 10 files per submission, up to 100 MB in total.
