Custom CNC Turning & Turn-Mill Services

At CEC Machining, we provide high-precision CNC turning services for custom projects across the entire UK. Our workshop is built on the philosophy that if it can be drawn, we can machine it—handling everything from simple cylindrical parts to complex components requiring off-centre milling.

Based in Rochester, we combine over 60 years of engineering heritage from Clark Electric Clutch & Controls Ltd with advanced HASS and HURCO technology to ensure the highest precision for your components.

Our Advanced CNC Turning Fleet

HAAS ST10Y: Integrated Turn-Mill

  • A high-performance Y-axis turning centre equipped with live tooling and C-axis capability. This advanced technology allows us to perform milling, drilling, and tapping while the part is still in the lathe.

    • Best For: Parts that require turning plus off-centre holes, slots, or contours in a single setup, reducing handling and increasing accuracy.

    • Capability: Eliminates the need to move parts between a lathe and a mill.

    HURCO TM8i: Heavy-Duty Turning
    A robust horizontal turning machine designed for more demanding industrial components. It features a high-torque 4,000 RPM spindle and a 12-station turret.

    • Capacity: 14-inch maximum turning diameter with a 20.7-inch turning length.

    • Best For: Medium-sized components with simple to complex profiles requiring heavy metal removal.

    HURCO TM6i: High-Speed Precision
    A compact, high-speed lathe designed for rapid production and extreme accuracy. Its 6,000 RPM spindle allows for superior surface finishes on smaller parts.

    • Capacity: 15.9-inch swing and 13.4-inch turning length.

    • Best For: Small, high-precision turned parts, threads, and high-volume production runs.
