CNC Turning Services

Accurate CNC Turning of Precision Machined Components & Parts

Universal Fabrications is a precision machining specialist focussed on the manufacture of milled and turned components. We support our customers with their complete metal manufacturing requirements covering CNC Turning, CNC Milling, Laser Cutting & Punching, Welded Products and Complex Fabrications. We work across multiple industry sectors and have the governance and quality standards to produce parts for the most demanding safety critical environments. As a business, we are equally comfortable supporting prototype work, small batch and high volume production runs.

Within our turning department, we have a fleet of CNC Lathes, combination CNC Turn Mills in addition to Sliding Head technology. We can machine simple and complex parts across the full range of metals, plastics and composites. As we have a wider capability we can also support full part manufacture which includes finishing, part marking, kitting and assembly.  

With 45 years of experience, Universal is an industry accredited metal manufacturing expert focused on producing quality turned parts, delivered on time.

If you have a turned part or a component you would like us to quote, call us today on 02476 370 272 or email@universalfabrications.com

Materials & Part Sizes

Our team have the machinery and experience to process a full range of materials, manufacturing turned parts up to a diameter of 500mm with a length of 1280mm.

Manufacturing Timely, Cost Effective Turned Parts

One of our differentiators is our ability to deliver cost effective machining solutions with industry leading turnaround times. We do this by deploying the most appropriate technology to our customer’s requirements:

  • Low batch size or prototype work with smaller diameters, can be supported through our CNC Lathes
  • Larger diameter, more complex parts through the use of our Turn Mills
  • High volume parts with diameters up to 38mm benefit from the ‘lights out’ running of our Sliding Head Technology.

Working to Tight Tolerancing

As our team manufactures parts for multiple industry sectors we are able to adhere to a broad range of quality requirements and tolerancing. Accuracy wise our machinery can turn parts to 0.002mm. As we are experienced operators we are able to validate the parts have been manufactured to drawing, we do this by providing industry leading inspection reports covering industry specific and your own customer requirements.
