Overview

NTM’s CNC turning department in Newport, PA runs 10 CNC lathes with twin spindle, Y-axis, and live tooling configurations on Mori Seiki, Nakamura, Hardinge, Doosan, and Okuma equipment.

NTM has delivered CNC turning in Newport, PA since 1972. Travis Dillman, our turning and Swiss screw programmer and machinist, joined NTM straight out of high school and brings 25 years of hands-on experience to every job that runs through the turning department.

When you bring a part to NTM, the person programming it works hand and hand with the operator on the machine. As a result, there are no blind handoffs, no miscommunication, and no gaps between intent and execution.

How It Works

How CNC turning works at our Newport PA shop

01

Drawing Review

We review your drawings, specifications, samples, and requirements and provide manufacturability input, so every decision is built around your part.

02

Programming

Travis Dillman builds your turning program in Mastercam or Esprit. With 25 years in turning and Swiss screw, he's seen nearly every challenge this work produces.

03

Setup

We configure the right lathe, twin spindle, Y-axis, or live tooling, based on your part geometry and production requirements.

04

Machining

Your part runs on Mori Seiki, Nakamura, Hardinge, Doosan, or Okuma equipment, with the programmer available throughout the run.

05

Inspection

Every turning order ships with documented inspection using Geo Met 101 and CMM Manager. Documented inspection and release records are maintained in accordance with customer and NTM quality requirements.

Can one shop handle turning from prototype to production?

Yes, and at NTM, both run on the same floor with the same team. There's no gap between the programmer who built your prototype and the machinist running production. If a drawing change is identified during prototype or manufacturing review, we coordinate the proposed change with the customer and obtain approval before production.

Quality Assurance

How do I know my turned parts will meet spec?

Every CNC turning order at NTM ships against an ISO 9001 certified inspection process. Smaller runs receive full inspection across every piece. Larger production orders follow a documented chart that scales with volume. Documented inspection and release records are maintained in accordance with customer and NTM quality requirements.

Questions, Answered

Frequently asked questions

Twin spindle lathes run two spindles simultaneously, machining both ends of a part in one setup. Y-axis capability adds lateral movement to mill, drill, and contour features off-center. Live tooling allows rotating tools to run directly on the lathe, eliminating secondary operations. NTM runs all three across 10 lathes.
