Conventional Machining (Non-CNC) Services

Get your parts produced using conventional machining processes. Ideal for small batches and one-offs for prototyping and end-use components.

Expert Conventional Machining Service

Our traditional machining process involves skilled operators guiding tools like milling machines, lathes and drills. 


CNC Precision Machining boasts a fully equipped conventional machine shop capable of handling prototypes and small production volumes. Our adept tradesmen, paired with reliable traditional machining equipment, guarantee precise craftsmanship and high-quality production at a cost-effective price. This offers the reliability and flexibility necessary for your distinctive manufacturing needs.


In machining, the choice between conventional, CNC turning and CNC milling depends on factors like part geometry, material properties, production volume, and machining complexity. Contact us to discuss your project.

Advantages of Conventional Machining

While CNC machining provides a number of very significant benefits such as advanced precision and automation, there are specific scenarios where opting for conventional machining proves advantageous.

  • Cost-Effectiveness for Small Production Runs

    Opting for conventional machining may prove economical for small production runs due to lower operation costs.

  • Simplicity for Basic Components

    In cases of straightforward designs where components do not require the micrometer tolerances of CNC machining technology, conventional machining is a cost-efficient choice.

  • Versatility in Materials

    The versatility of conventional machining shines when working with a broad range of materials, especially those posing challenges in CNC machining.

  • Manual Customisation

    Conventional machining offers advantages in manual adjustments and quick adaptations for highly customised or one-of-a-kind parts.

  • Suitability for Prototyping

    provides a quicker and more agile process for adjustments and refinements.duction and contributes to improved overall operational efficiency.
