Turning On Milling Machine: Dual-Function Processing Solution—Cost-Saving For Small To Medium Workshops

Turning On Milling Machine: Dual-Function Processing Solution—Cost-Saving For Small To Medium Workshops

The turning on milling machine allows the user to be able to turn using a milling machine, allowing them to have a milling machine that can perform 2 separate processes (milling and turning) with 1 machine. This option allows for cost savings and growth of production capabilities, for the majority of small-batch, custom manufacturing.

Advantages of Our Turning On Milling Machine

Seamless Dual-Function Switch

Using the proper setup (dedicated attachments), and quickly switching between milling and turning by adjusting the machine parameters (speed, feed, etc.) can allow a milling machine to be in "turning mode".

Operation Compatibility

Workers familiar with milling machine operation can master turning functions in 2-3 days. No need for professional lathe operation training, saving labor training costs.

Precision Synchronization

Rely on the stable structure of milling machines, ensuring turning precision is consistent with milling. Avoid precision mismatches caused by switching between different devices.

Flexible Accessory Matching

Supports universal turning accessories for different milling machine models. Adapt to workpieces of 5mm-300mm diameter, fitting most small to medium processing needs.

Product Application Scenarios

Wooden Furniture Metal Inserts

Process metal threaded inserts and cylindrical connectors for wooden furniture. One machine completes milling (fixing slots) and turning (threading), ensuring precise fit with wooden workpieces.

Handmade Musical Instrument Copper Parts

Make small brass shafts and knobs for stringed instruments. Flexible switching meets custom craft needs, and precision ensures stable sound quality of musical instruments.

Small Machinery Repair Parts

Process replacement shafts and sleeves for small motors and pumps. Dual-function processing shortens repair cycles, avoiding waiting for parts from external suppliers.

Handmade Leather Goods Hardware

Produce copper buckles and rivets for handmade leather goods. The solution’s flexibility fits small-batch customization, and smooth turning finish meets aesthetic needs of handmade products.

FAQ

Does it require modifying the original milling machine?

No. The milling machine retains its original form; no modifications are made to the original milling machine. The accessories (if they are not being used) can easily be removed and stored without impacting the milling machine's ability to perform the milling process.
It fits most standard vertical and horizontal milling machines. We provide matching accessories based on your machine model to ensure compatibility.
Yes. With dedicated turning tools, it can process carbon steel, aluminum and stainless steel. For ultra-hard materials, we recommend matching professional tool kits.
It’s more cost-saving for small workshops with low turning demand. Lathes are for large-batch turning, while this solution balances dual needs with lower investment.

What Our Clients Are Saying

Nguyen Minh

I produce small brass parts for all banjos. I can quickly switch between milling and turning operations on my milling machine with a simple switch and maintain precision for the type of work I do.

Because both milling and turning are required for any kind of rework, this method allows the operator to work with their older milling machine to accomplish both processes, thus saving on costs, while providing the flexibility to address the many variations of a repair.
