Our Turning Department consists of Hardinge Super-precision lathes almost exclusively. They are the most accurate turning centers in the world with offset capabilities of 0.00001”. Holding diameter and length tolerances to 0.0001” and roundness to 0.00005”, our CHNC SP’s results cannot be matched. The GT SP Flatsides equipped with bar feeders can easily accommodate any high production need while holding the tightest tolerances. With the SP 51 you will find the very rarest of turning centers, a machine that can turn a 9″ diameter and a 24″ length with offset capabilities of 0.00001. Whether your material is Titanium, Tungsten or Tantalum come to IDC for your most critical turning needs.
