Manual machining
Conventional mill and lathe work for the jobs that do not justify a program — and often would not survive one.
Not every job should go on a CNC machine. A single modification, a repair, a part that has to be fitted to something that already exists — these are faster, cheaper and frequently better done by hand on a conventional machine.
This is the work that keeps equipment running. Someone arrives with a broken component and a deadline, and the answer is a manual setup rather than a week of programming.
01 Best for
Single parts, repairs, modifications and fitting work.
02 Turnaround
Often the fastest route when the job is one piece.
03 Fitting
Parts machined to suit an existing assembly rather than a drawing.
04 No program needed
Bring the part and the measurement, not a CAD model.
Common questions
Questions about Manual Machining
Yes. For manual work a sample part, a sketch, or even a clear description and a measurement is often enough to get started.
For a single part, usually. CNC becomes the better value once the quantity is high enough to spread the setup and programming across the batch.
Yes — opening a bore, adding holes, facing a surface or cutting a keyway on an existing component is routine work.
