CNC Turning Tolerances Explained: What You Need to Know
When it comes to CNC turning, precision is everything — but so is flexibility.
At Repline, we specialise in delivering high-accuracy machined components across a wide range of industries, including defence, medical, mining, and advanced manufacturing. Whether you provide detailed CAD drawings, a physical sample, or just a concept sketch, we can manufacture your part to the required tolerances — from standard fits to micron-level precision.
Here’s what you should know about how we approach tolerances:
- Precision Built In
We regularly machine parts to:
- ±0.1 mm for general components
- ±0.01 mm or better for high-precision applications
Our team is equipped to handle tight tolerances across a variety of materials, including stainless steel, aluminium, brass, plastics, and more.
- Drawings, Samples or Concepts — We Work With All
Not every project starts with a full technical drawing. Whether you have:
- A worn or broken part that needs replicating
- A rough sketch or concept
- An assembly that requires a custom-fit component
We can reverse-engineer it, advise on tolerances, and manufacture it with precision.
- Fit, Function & Repeatability
Our focus isn’t just meeting the spec — it’s making sure your parts fit and function correctly, every time. We understand tolerance stack-up, critical mating surfaces, and real-world use conditions, and apply that knowledge at every stage — from quoting through to final inspection.
