Overview
Pearson Manufacturing provides access to CNC turning services for round and cylindrical parts requiring high accuracy and repeatability. Some projects are turned at our Ontario facility, while others are fulfilled through our trusted Canadian machining partners.
⚠️ Hybrid fulfillment: Pearson coordinates turning jobs both in-house and through external partners—based on geometry, timing, and production scale.
Quick Specs
| Process | Best For | Throughput | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| CNC Turning | Shafts, bushings, rings | Very High | Best roundness & throughput for cylindrical parts |
| Live-Tool Turning | Cross/axial holes, flats, keyways | High | Eliminates secondary ops on many features |
| Swiss-Type (via partners) | Small, long/skinny parts | Very High | Superior support for slender features |
| Mill-Turn (coordinated) | Mixed round + prismatic | High | Complex parts with fewer setups |
CNC Turning Capabilities
- Live tooling and multi-axis turning centers (cross/axial drilling, milling, and slots)
- External/internal threading (UNC/UNF/metric), grooving, boring, and reaming
- Precision shafts, pins, spacers, sleeves, and custom adapters
- Concentricity/runout control with collet/chuck workholding strategies
- Process development and in-process gauging for repeatable production
- Inspection reports and FAIR/FAI available on request
- Post-machining finishing & light assembly coordinated end-to-end
Supported Materials
We offer CNC turning for a broad range of materials—fulfilled either in-house or through our Canadian partners:
- Aluminum: 6061-T6, 7075-T6
- Stainless: 303, 304, 316/316L, 17-4 PH
- Steels: 1018, 1045, 4140/4140HT
- Brass & copper alloys
- Plastics: Acetal (Delrin/POM), Nylon, PTFE, UHMW
- Titanium & others by request
Design for Manufacturability (DFM)
- Prefer generous fillet/chamfer lead-ins for threads and bearing journals to reduce burrs and tool wear.
- Call out critical runout (e.g., TIR) and concentricity only where function requires—keep secondary features at standard tolerances.
- For deep internal bores, include reliefs and realistic surface finish specs to avoid chatter and rework.
- Specify standard thread series (UNC/UNF/metric) and include thread depth/class; add undercuts/reliefs where appropriate.
- Avoid extremely thin walls on long, slender parts; Swiss-type routing via partners may be recommended.
- Provide STEP/IGES + PDF with datums, GD&T where needed, and any balance/weight constraints.
We’ll review your CAD/drawing and confirm achievable specs with the fastest viable routing (in-house or partner) before kickoff.
Typical Applications
- Axles, spindles, and bearing journals
- Hydraulic/pneumatic fittings and manifolds
- Threaded connectors, adapters, and couplings
- Custom bushings, rings, and collars
- Automotive, medical, and aerospace hardware
- Fixture details and precision pins
CNC Turning FAQs
How fast can you quote CNC turned parts?
Same business day for most RFQs. Upload STEP/IGES and a PDF with threads, tolerances, and quantity—go to the Quote page and we’ll confirm routing (in-house or partner) and lead time.
Can you sign an NDA before I share drawings?
Yes—mutual NDAs are standard. Upload your NDA on the Quote page or request our template and we’ll countersign prior to review.
What tolerances and finishes can you achieve?
Commercial tolerances are typically ±0.005″ (metals) and ±0.010″ (plastics). Tighter specs (e.g., ~±0.001″) and finer finishes are often achievable after engineering review of geometry and inspection plan.
What’s the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
No strict MOQ—single prototypes through production lots (10,000+). For recurring parts, we can quote price breaks and stocking options.
Do you provide inspection reports or FAIs?
Yes. We can include dimensional reports, FAIR/FAI, material certs, and certificates of conformance on request.
Can you handle material sourcing and finishing?
Absolutely. We can source material or machine customer-supplied stock, and coordinate anodize, passivation, black oxide, and more so parts arrive line-ready.
What if I need parts urgently?
Tell us your required date in the RFQ—rush slots are available based on capacity. We’ll propose the fastest viable routing and shipping method.
