Flexible Turning Solutions to Optimize Cost, Quality, and Turnaround
B&H Machining offers a full range of CNC turning technology designed to meet diverse production needs, from standard 2-axis lathes to advanced mill/turn systems. Our standard 2-axis CNC lathes provide reliable, high-speed turning for simple cylindrical parts, delivering consistent accuracy and fast cycle times. For more complex components, we utilize live tooling lathes that enable milling, drilling, and tapping operations directly on the turning center, reducing secondary operations and improving efficiency. Multiple-spindle turning centers allow us to run high-volume production with exceptional repeatability and shorter lead times, making them ideal for long-run projects. Our bar feed capabilities support continuous, unattended machining for long parts or high quantities, further reducing labor and increasing throughput. For parts requiring both turning and milling features, B&H’s mill/turn CNC machines combine multi-axis machining in a single setup, enabling complex geometry and tighter tolerances. By leveraging this full suite of turning technology, B&H Machining delivers flexible, efficient solutions that optimize cost, quality, and turnaround for any project.
See below to explore our full range of CNC turning capabilities and learn how we handle everything from standard turning to advanced mill/turn operations.
Advanced Mill/Turn Machining with Twin Spindle Efficiency
B&H Machining’s CNC mill/turn with bar feeder and twin spindle capability is a powerful solution for projects requiring both turning and milling operations with maximum efficiency. By combining these functions into one machine, we can complete complex parts with multiple features without transferring the workpiece between machines, reducing handling time and minimizing the risk of misalignment. The integrated bar feeder supports continuous, unattended production of long or high-volume runs, improving throughput while keeping labor costs down. Twin spindles enable machining of both ends of a part or quick transfer between spindles for additional operations, reducing cycle time and increasing productivity. This setup is especially valuable for parts requiring tight tolerances, intricate contours, and multiple machining steps, as the mill/turn system maintains consistent accuracy throughout the process.

Mill/Turn Automation CellHigh-Volume Turning Made Simple with Live Tooling and Bar Feeders
B&H Machining utilizes multiple CNC lathes equipped with live tooling and bar feeds, delivering exceptional efficiency and flexibility for a wide range of turning projects. Live tooling enables milling, drilling, tapping, and slotting directly on the turning center, allowing multiple operations to be completed in a single setup. This reduces the need for secondary machining, minimizes handling time, and lowers the risk of misalignment—improving part accuracy and consistency. With bar feed capability, these lathes support continuous, unattended production, ideal for long parts or high-volume runs. The automated bar feeding system increases throughput, reduces labor costs, and keeps cycle times predictable.

High-Volume Production SupportRobotic Loading for High-Volume CNC Turning
B&H Machining uses industrial robots to automate the loading and unloading of CNC lathes, increasing efficiency, consistency, and throughput for high-volume production. Robotic handling reduces manual interaction and helps keep machines running longer with minimal supervision, improving uptime and maintaining predictable cycle times. This capability is especially valuable for repetitive or long-run jobs, where consistent loading and uninterrupted machining directly impact delivery schedules and overall cost. Integrated automation improves repeatability while supporting tight tolerances and dependable part quality.

Mill/Turn with Bar Feed SystemCost-Effective Turning with 2-Axis CNC Lathes
Standard 2-axis turning is a reliable and efficient method for producing simple cylindrical parts with consistent accuracy and fast cycle times. At B&H Machining, our 2-axis CNC lathes are ideal for straightforward operations such as facing, turning, grooving, and threading. These machines are designed for high-speed production and can efficiently produce large quantities of components with repeatable precision. Because 2-axis turning simplifies programming and setup, it supports quick turnaround for standard parts—making it an excellent choice when complex multi-axis machining is not required.
