Precision Turning Parts & Supplies Solutions

Turning parts are components shaped on a lathe or turning center while the workpiece rotates against a cutting tool. This process is ideal for cylindrical, round, threaded, grooved, or precision-diameter parts. Parkway-Kew Corporation supports turning needs with CNC turning, manual turning, carbide wear-part fabrication, and complementary coating capabilities for parts that must withstand abrasion, corrosion, and heavy industrial use.

Lathe-made parts commonly include shafts, rollers, bushings, sleeves, pulleys, rings, plungers, hubs, spacers, and other round or cylindrical components. Parkway-Kew Corporation also fabricates specialized wear parts, including solid tungsten carbide components and redesigned assemblies such as steel carriers with carbide inserts. These parts can be supplied with or without coatings, depending on the operating environment and wear requirements.

CNC turning is best for repeatable production, tighter dimensional control, and complex programmed profiles. Manual turning is often valuable for repairs, one-off components, large workpieces, and custom adjustments that require machinist judgment. Parkway-Kew Corporation offers both capabilities, allowing customers to select the most practical method based on part size, tolerance, material, quantity, and whether coatings or rebuilding are also needed.

Parkway-Kew Corporation’s machining capabilities include parts up to 72 inches in diameter for CNC turning, manual turning, and CNC milling work. Large diameter grinding capabilities extend up to 65 inches in diameter and 12 feet in length. These capacities support heavy industrial components, rebuilt wear parts, coated assemblies, and oversized parts used in demanding production environments.

Yes. Parkway-Kew Corporation can fabricate wear parts with coatings or without coatings, depending on the material and application. Solid tungsten carbide parts, for example, may not require additional coating because of their inherent wear resistance. For steel or alloy components exposed to abrasion or corrosion, the company can recommend coating options such as tungsten carbide, ceramic, or metal alloy systems.

Solid tungsten carbide parts are often chosen when extreme wear resistance is needed and a coating alone may not provide the desired service life. Parkway-Kew Corporation has redesigned components such as pulleys by using a steel carrier with a solid tungsten carbide insert, dramatically improving wear life compared with the original tool steel version while maintaining practical structural support.

Availability for Turning Parts & Supplies is listed as Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. Lead times vary based on part complexity, material selection, diameter, coating requirements, rebuilding scope, and inspection needs. For faster evaluation, customers should provide drawings, dimensions, worn part samples, operating conditions, and any known failure or wear concerns.

Parkway-Kew Corporation serves industrial customers throughout North America and works with sectors such as wire mills, oil and gas fracking companies, shipping terminals, heavy equipment manufacturers, earth-moving equipment operations, and container handling facilities. Its turning and fabrication capabilities are especially useful when parts need improved durability, reduced downtime, or integration with hard surfacing and coating technologies.
