Swiss Machining

High-Precision Turned Components with Exceptional Efficiency and Best Available Lead Times

G-Fast Distribution provides Swiss CNC screw machining services for OEMs and manufacturers requiring tight tolerances, complex geometries, and consistent quality at production scale. Swiss machining is ideally suited for small-diameter, high-precision parts where dimensional stability, surface finish, and repeatability are critical.

By combining precision turning with live tooling capabilities, Swiss CNC machines deliver highly efficient production of complex components often in a single setup reducing lead times while maintaining strict quality standards.

WHAT MAKES SWISS CNC MACHINING DIFFERENT

Swiss CNC machines support the workpiece close to the cutting tool using a guide bushing, minimizing deflection on long, slender parts and enabling tighter tolerances, improved surface finish, and consistent dimensional control. Multiple features can be completed in one continuous machining cycle.

EFFICIENCY THROUGH LIVE TOOLING

Live tooling allows rotating cutting tools to operate simultaneously with turning operations, enabling milling, cross-holes, flats, slots, and complex features to be produced during the turning cycle.

Benefits of live tooling include:

• Reduced need for secondary operations
• Fewer part handoffs and setups
• Improved dimensional consistency
• Shorter overall production cycles
• More efficient high-volume manufacturing
