If you're sourcing custom stainless steel parts, you've probably heard the terms "CNC turning," "milling," and "OEM/ODM services" thrown around. But what do they really mean for your project?
Why Stainless Steel?
Stainless isn't just "steel that doesn't rust" - it's the MVP of manufacturing because:
✔ Corrosion-resistant (Lasts years in harsh environments)
✔ Strong yet workable (From surgical tools to skyscraper beams)
✔ Hygienic surface (Perfect for food & medical applications)
✔ Aesthetic appeal (That professional metallic finish)
Popular Grades We Machine Daily:
- 304 Stainless: The all-rounder (kitchen equipment, architectural)
- 316 Stainless: Marine-grade (boat fittings, chemical plants)
- 17-4 PH: Heat-treatable (aerospace components)
- 420 Stainless: Ultra-hard (surgical instruments)
CNC Turning vs. Milling: What's the Difference?
CNC Turning (The Lathe Specialist)
- Rotates the workpiece while stationary tools cut
- Best for: cylindrical parts (shafts, bushings, fittings)
- Achieves: ±0.005mm tolerances
- Cost advantage: 30-50% faster than milling for round parts
CNC Milling (The 3D Shape Master)
- Rotating tools cut a stationary workpiece
- Best for: complex geometries (brackets, enclosures, molds)
- Handles: 3-5 axis machining
- Bonus: Can combine with turning for hybrid parts
OEM vs. ODM: Which Service Do You Need?
| Service Type | Best For | You Provide |
| OEM | Standard parts | Detailed CAD drawings |
| ODM | Custom solutions | Concept → We design & make |
