CNC Machining Service

What our CNC Machining Service offers

Our CNC machining service is a subtractive process that removes material from a billet using a circular cutting tool.

Advanced CNC machinery and our industrial fabrication partners enable us to produce exactly what you need when you need it. CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing) has opened the doors to endless possibilities.

With intelligent programming, data paths are trialled and tool paths are perfected in advance of production, achieving efficiency and accuracy. From simple components to highly complex specifications, we select the best partner to produce your CNC machined parts based on suitability and price.

Our CNC machining services allow you to order machined parts online, with a fast turnaround time. We’re a manufacturer offering custom CNC machining in the UK.

Expect fast CNC machining and manufacturing. You can receive a detailed CNC machining quote within the next 24 hours.

Precision machining is what we do, with a wealth of experience behind us and competitive prices for our customers. The latest technology allows us to provide a reliable online CNC machining service for your project, whatever it entails.

What finishes are available for CNC machining?

As Machined

Surface roughness can be specified using Ra value. Ra3.2 - 1.6um as standard.

Bead Blast

Bead blast size: 80um as standard. 50-120um available.

Anodised Type 2

Standard: Clear / natural, black, red, green, blue, yellow / gold. Close match to specified RAL numbers.

Anodised Type 3

Standard: Black or Grey. Much duller in look, but has much better surface protection.

CNC Machining FAQ's

What is the quickest lead time you can offer for CNC machining?

For small scale CNC projects in Al6061 we can manufacture in as little as 2 days as we have the material readily available in-house.

How do I get a CNC machining quote?

The quickest way is to fill out our online quote form. Alternatively, if you would like to discuss your project before submitting a quote, feel free to email our engineers at team@get-it-made.co.uk.

How long does it take to get a CNC machining quote?

For most CNC machining projects we aim to get a quote back to you within 24h. However, if you submit a quote in the morning we can sometimes provide a quote the same day.

What file formats do you accept for CNC machining?

We accept 3D CAD files in STEP, IGS or Parasolid format for CNC machining. We cannot use STL CAD files.

If you don’t have a 3D CAD file yet, we recommend designing in OnShape as it is free and sometimes easy to use. The other option is to find a freelance design engineer to help produce the CAD file for you. We can recommend someone if you require help.

What are the best tolerances you can CNC machine to?

CNC machining: ± 0.05 mm

CNC Turning: ± 0.02 mm

How much thickness does anodising add?

Type II is the standard variation of anodising and clear coatings typically have a thickness of 5-15 μm and coloured/dyed coatings 10-25 μm.

Type III anodising also known as 'hard anodising’ can have a thickness of 20-80 μm.

A good design guideline to follow is that 50% of the anodic coating is below the original surface and 50% is above. Therefore, a 12 μm coating would increase the part thickness by 6 μm.

How to choose a CNC machining manufacturer for parts processing?

When choosing a CNC machining manufacturer for parts processing, it's crucial to consider their experience, technology, and capacity to meet your specific needs. Look for a provider with a proven track record of precision, timely delivery, and the ability to handle the complexity of your project.
