Turning

Precision turning services for custom prototypes and small to medium production runs. We deliver high-quality craftsmanship for unique components and scaled series alike. 

Conventional Turning: Master Craftsmanship for Custom Solutions

While the world moves toward automation, Arim-Metalis remains dedicated to the art of conventional turning. Our manual lathe services provide the flexibility and tactile precision that CNC machines sometimes cannot match—especially when it comes to rapid repairs, unique automotive restoration, and specialized single-unit production.

Our Turning Capabilities

• Custom Shafts & Cylindrical Parts: Expert machining of axles, bushings, spacers, and drive shafts with high-quality surface finishes.

• Precision Threading: Cutting of standard (Metric/Imperial) and specialized custom threads for mechanical assemblies.

• Rapid Prototyping: The ability to move from a sketch to a finished part in hours, without the need for complex programming.

• Automotive Restoration & Repair: Specialized in recreating discontinued or damaged automotive parts that require the "human touch" to fit perfectly.

• Heavy-Duty Material Removal: Capable of handling large stock and performing aggressive material removal with steady, manual control.

Why Conventional Turning Matters

In an industry of "button-pushers," we pride ourselves on being Machinists. 

1. Cost-Effective for One-Offs: For a single part or a simple repair, manual turning avoids the high setup costs of CNC programming, saving you money. 

2. Live Adjustments: We can feel the material and adjust the tool pressure in real-time, which is essential for working with delicate or aged automotive components. 

3. Versatility in Repairs: We excel at "rescuing" parts—taking a worn-out component and machining it back to functional tolerances.

Materials We Turn

We work with a full spectrum of materials to suit your project's environment:

• High-Strength Steels: 4140, 4340, and Tool Steels.

• Corrosion Resistant: Stainless Steels (304, 316) and Brass.

• Lightweight Alloys: Various grades of Aluminum.

• Industrial Plastics: Nylon, Acetal, and PTFE for low-friction applications.

Expertise You Can Trust

With 13 years of experience in the automotive sector, we understand that a turned part often sits at the core of a larger machine. Whether it’s a press-fit bushing or a custom pulley, we ensure the fit is perfect every time.
