The technique
What is CNC vertical turning?
In vertical turning, the spindle axis is vertical and the workpiece is held on a rotating table. This arrangement can suit workpieces that benefit from support on a horizontal table. Shape, mass and the faces to be machined determine suitability.
Function, material and geometry form the starting point. Machine selection and workholding follow from your complete enquiry.
Suitability
What determines the machining route?
The component’s functional features are central. These considerations help assess the enquiry.
Support on the table
State the starting dimensions, mass and available clamping faces. The workpiece must remain supported and accessible during machining.
Internal and external profiles
Show the relationships between bores, diameters and mating faces. Repositioning and retained datums are coordinated accordingly.
State the application, an up-to-date drawing or model reference, material, quantities and critical dimensions.
Process and approach
Vertical turning: support and workholding
Preparation, machining and inspection are coordinated together.
Identify the dimensions, surfaces and relative positions that matter. Required tolerances, inspection methods and any measurement report are assessed and agreed for each enquiry.
Assess the workpiece
The drawing, starting condition and required final condition are considered together. Also identify any subsequent treatments.
Prepare the operation
Machine selection, datums, support and machining sequence are coordinated with access to the required features.
Agree inspection and delivery
Record which features will be inspected and which documentation accompanies the agreed delivery.

Frequently asked questions
Practical questions
When is vertical turning suitable?
Shape, mass, support and required tool access determine the choice. Outside diameter alone is insufficient to decide whether a component can be machined on a particular machine.
What is needed for a price or schedule enquiry?
Share the application, drawing or model reference, material, quantities and required schedule. Include critical requirements and documentation. Use the contact route to discuss how technical files can be provided.
