How It Works
From Your Drawing to Certified Turned Part
Six documented steps — the same rigorous process on every CNC turning job, whether it's one piece or a full production run.
Step 01 — Engineering
Your Drawing or Model Is Reviewed & Turning Parameters Programmed
We review your engineering drawing or CAD model for machinability — checking thread forms, bore depths, tolerances, and material compatibility. The job is then programmed in GibbsCAM with optimised turning parameters for surface finish and dimensional accuracy.
Step 02 — Material
Bar Stock Is Selected from Certified Inventory & Cut to Length
We pull certified bar or billet stock from our in-house inventory — 4140, L80, P110, stainless, Inconel, and more. Mill cert documentation is captured and tied to your job. Material is then cut to near-net length on the bandsaw before loading onto the lathe.
Step 03 — Turning
Part Is Chucked & Turned to Diameter — Up to 28 Inches Capacity
The bar is loaded into the chuck and the GibbsCAM program runs. Roughing and finishing passes bring the part to diameter — with in-process measurement to verify dimensions as the job progresses. Our turning capacity handles components up to 28 inches in diameter.
Step 04 — Secondary Ops
Threading, Boring & Secondary Features Are Added as Required
API, ACME, NPT, and custom thread forms are cut using dedicated tooling and verified with calibrated thread gauges. Internal bores, tapers, undercuts, and other secondary features are machined to drawing — all in one setup where possible to maintain concentricity.
Step 05 — Quality
Dimensions Are Verified to Drawing — Full Inspection Record Kept
Every critical dimension is measured and recorded — OD, bore diameter, length, thread pitch, and form. We use calibrated micrometers, bore gauges, and thread gauges. The inspection record becomes part of your shipment documentation.
Step 06 — Delivery
Parts Ship with Material Certs & Full Process Documentation
Finished turned parts are cleaned, protected from corrosion, and packaged for safe transport. Every shipment includes the mill cert, heat number, dimensional inspection record, and thread gauging records. Delivered on time — with everything your QMS requires.
Why Axis for CNC Turning
Large-Diameter Turning for Demanding Applications
Axis Manufacturing's CNC turning capability covers diameters up to 28 inches — giving us the capacity to handle the large cylindrical components common in downhole tools, wellhead equipment, and energy infrastructure.
From simple bar stock turned to diameter, to complex parts requiring threading, boring, and secondary operations — we handle the full scope. Every job runs under our ISO 9001:2015 quality system with material certs and full traceability included.

Client Feedback
What Our Turning Clients Say About Axis
Real feedback from project engineers, quality managers, and supply chain teams across Alberta.
★★★★★
"We needed large-diameter turned components in L80 steel for a wellhead project. Axis had the capacity, turned them to spec, and delivered on time with all the documentation our client required."
Project Engineer
Wellhead Equipment Manufacturer — Calgary, AB
★★★★★
"Axis machined a set of threaded downhole tool bodies in 4140. Threading was clean, dimensions were tight, and the parts passed our inspection first time. Very impressed with their turning capability."
Quality Manager
Downhole Tool Company — Red Deer, AB
★★★★★
"We sent Axis a rush order for Inconel turned parts. Not every shop has that material or that capacity — they did, and they delivered ahead of schedule. Solid team to work with."
