What is CNC machining?
CNC machining is the process of removing material from a workpiece using computer-controlled machines until a part has exactly the desired shape. The abbreviation CNC stands for Computerized Numerical Control. A drawing or 3D model is translated into a programme that controls the machine. The machine then cuts, drills or mills away the excess material layer by layer. Because the control is digital, the result is consistent every time. This makes CNC machining suitable for both individual prototypes and larger series. CNC machining encompasses several techniques, including turning and milling. The right technique depends on the shape and function of the part.
CNC turning
CNC turning is a machining technique in which the workpiece rotates while a fixed cutting tool removes material. This method is designed for round and cylindrical parts, such as shafts, bushings and pins. As the workpiece rotates around its own axis, the result is a precise, round product with tight tolerances. CNC turning is well suited to small series as well as larger quantities of identical parts. We carry out all turning work on our own lathes, which keeps lead times short. Because we offer both turning and milling under one roof, you can bring a part that requires both operations to us at once.
CNC milling
CNC milling is a machining technique in which a rotating cutting tool removes material from a stationary workpiece. Unlike turning, the workpiece remains fixed while the tool moves. This allows flat surfaces, slots, holes and complex shapes to be produced that cannot be achieved through turning. CNC milling is therefore the preferred method for angular or irregular parts. We mill on multiple machines, which gives us the capacity to handle a wide range of dimensions and materials. For companies that want to combine turning and milling, this is particularly convenient. You do not need to send the part to a second supplier, as both operations take place at the same location.
Why choose turning and milling at Centwerk?
Choosing a fixed partner for your turning and milling gives you certainty about the quality and lead time of your parts. We work in accordance with ISO 9001 for quality management and ISO 14001 for environmental management. These certifications show that our processes are clearly defined and that we operate responsibly. We also keep communication straightforward and direct, so you always know where you stand.

High quality with our own machinery
Our own machinery allows us to manufacture your CNC parts entirely in-house. We have eight CNC turning and milling machines, enabling us to produce your parts quickly and professionally at a competitive rate. Because we carry out all operations ourselves, we maintain full control over planning and quality. You are not dependent on external machines or waiting times at third parties. For finishing and post-processing, we work with trusted partners, so the part arrives at your location fully completed. This approach suits companies that need both individual parts and larger quantities.
For which sectors do we carry out CNC machining?
We carry out CNC machining for companies across a wide range of sectors. Our clients come from the industrial and technical world, both within the Netherlands and internationally. From machine builders requiring individual shafts to suppliers having series of parts produced, we adapt to the demand. Because we serve a broad group of companies, we are experienced in handling different requirements and materials. Are you looking for a CNC company that can handle both small and large orders? You have come to the right place. We think along with you about the best approach for your part and take your budget into account.
The right materials for CNC machining
The choice of material largely determines the end result of a CNC machining operation. The right material depends on the function of the part and the requirements it must meet. We machine a wide range of materials.
Stainless steel is the right choice for parts that need to be strong and corrosion resistant. Nickel is suitable when a particularly high level of corrosion resistance is required. Titanium works well for parts that must be both light and strong, while Inconel is the right choice for parts that must withstand high temperatures. Not sure which material best suits your product? We are happy to advise you, so the part performs exactly as it should and you avoid any surprises after the fact.
Frequently asked questions about CNC machining
Can I have a single part turned and milled at Centwerk?
Yes, at Centwerk you can have turning and milling carried out under one roof. Because we perform these operations on our own machinery, you do not need to send a part to multiple suppliers. This saves you transport, coordination and waiting time. You provide the drawing and receive the complete part, including any finishing that we arrange together with our partners.
Do I need to provide a technical drawing, or does Centwerk think along with me about the design?
You provide a technical drawing or 3D model, and we get to work straight away. If you do not yet have a definitive design or are unsure about the approach, we are happy to think along with you. We look at the function of the part, the required dimensions and the material, so the result meets exactly what you need.
What does CNC machining cost?
The price depends on the complexity of the part, the chosen material and the number of pieces. We distinguish between standard and specialist work, so you pay a rate that matches the operation. This gives you a strong price-quality ratio, with quality always remaining the priority. You receive a quote within 24 hours with a clear overview of the costs.
Can I have both small and large series produced?
Yes, both small and large series can be produced. With eight CNC turning and milling machines, we adapt to your quantity. Whether you need a single prototype or a larger batch of identical parts, we tailor our approach to your requirements.
