CNC machining vs conventional turning: which to choose?

At MASA Mecanizados we combine CNC technology and conventional machinery. Knowing when to use each is key to optimizing cost, lead times and quality.

Advantages of CNC machining

  • High repeatability in short and long runs.
  • Complex geometries and tight tolerances.
  • Less manual intervention and lower risk of error.

Advantages of conventional turning

  • Ideal for single parts, repairs and final adjustments.
  • Greater versatility for special operations.
  • Lower cost for one-off jobs.
